SENATOR ALLEN. THIS MEASURE
PROVIDES MUCH NEEDED
TRANSPARENCY RELATED TO HOUSE
STORES ARE SPENDING THE MONEY
THEY CHARGE CUSTOMERS FOR THE
THICK PLASTIC BAGS THAT THEY ARE
GIVING THEM AT THE CHECKOUT.
CURRENT LAW ONLY ALLOWS THE
REVENUE COLLECTED FROM SELLING
THESE BAGS TO BE USED TO COVER
THE COST OF THE BAG. THE COST OF
COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAW OR TO
FUND EDUCATIONAL EFFORTS TO
ENCOURAGE CUSTOMERS TO REUSE THE
BAGS. AFTER OUR SINGLE USE BAG
TOOK THAT BAN TOOK EFFECT. WE
SAW A DECREASE IN THE POUNDS OF
PLASTIC PER PERSON GENERATED
FROM PLASTIC CARRY OUT BAGS.
HOWEVER UNFORTUNATELY, AS OF
2021, THAT NUMBER HAS MOVED UP
HIGHER THAN BEFORE THE PLASTIC
BAG BAN AND WE'VE SEEN A
UNFORTUNATE PROLIFERATION OF
THESE THICK PLASTIC BAGS THAT
ARE SUPPOSED TO BE REUSABLE, BUT
NOBODY ACTUALLY REUSES THEM.
THAT TELLS US SOMETHING IS NOT
WORKING. THIS BILL SEEKS TO
SHINE A LIGHT ON ONE ASPECT OF
THE PROBLEM BY REQUIRING THE BIG
CHAIN RETAILERS, NOT THE LITTLE
GUYS WITH THE BIG CHAIN
RETAILERS TO REPORT ON HOW
THEY'RE SPENDING ALL THAT MONEY
THAT THEY'RE COLLECTING. IF THE
BAGS ARE A MONEYMAKER FOR THEM,
WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT
THEY'RE DOING WITH THE REVENUE
BECAUSE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE
USING THAT MONEY TO EDUCATE.
THEIR EMPLOYEES AND THE
CUSTOMERS TO HELP REDUCE THE USE
OF THESE BAGS. THIS IS A SIMPLE
BILL THAT'S RECEIVED BIPARTISAN

AND E S IRRESPONSIBLE
FORECASTING AND THE P U. C S
REFUSAL TO HOLD THESE MONOPOLY
UTILITIES ACCOUNTABLE CUSTOMERS
HAVE SUFFERED FROM EXTREMELY
LONG INTERCONNECTION DELAYS OF
UP TO 12 MONTHS AND RESULTING IN
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS LOST IN MY
DISTRICT. WE'VE EXPERIENCED
NEVER ENDING DELAYS IN SANTA
ROSA. WE'RE WAITING FOR OVER $5
MILLION WORTH OF PROJECTS THAT
ARE NECESSARY FOR NEW HOUSING
DEVELOPMENTS. SONOMA COUNTY IS
WAITING FOR CHARGERS FOR THEIR
FLEET, ELECTRIFICATION, LOCAL

CUSTOMER PROJECTS OF FLEET E V.

FELL WITH A TOTAL CAPACITY OF
$8.5 MILLION AS MORE HOMES AND
BUSINESSES ARE BUILT AND HIS
COMPANIES INSTALL E V. CHARGERS
THE DEMAND FOR INTERCONNECTION
UPGRADES CONTINUES TO GROW. IN
ORDER TO HOLD PG AND E AND OUR
PUBLIC UTILITIES ACCOUNTABLE. SB
10 WILL REQUIRE THE PUC TO SET A
TIME FRAME IN WHICH UTILITIES
MUST CONNECT CUSTOMERS TO GET
THE GRID TO FIX AND PREVENT
FUTURE INTERCONNECTION DELAYS.
AFTER SETTING THESE TARGETS, THE
UTILITIES ARE REQUIRED TO CREATE
A STRATEGY TO MEET THE TARGETS,
WORKFORCE PLANNING AND A
TEMPORARY FINANCING MECHANISM.
TO CATCH UP ON THE BACKLOG UNTIL
THEIR NEXT GENERAL RAY CASE AND
ON THE TEMPORARY FINANCING
MECHANISM, WE PUT MANY
GUARDRAILS IN PLACE THROUGH THIS
BILL. THE BUCS. CURRENT PLANNING
STATUS QUO MAKES CRIB UPGRADES
MORE EXPENSIVE FOR RATEPAYERS,
AND LET'S BE CLEAR. THIS BILL
DOES NOT INCREASED RATES OR THE

YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU,
MADAM SPEAKER. MEMBERS I TO RISE
IN SUPPORT. AS THE VICE CHAIR OF
THE UTILITIES AND ENERGY
COMMITTEE WHEN THIS CAME BEFORE
US I VOTED IN FAVOR OF SB 4 10.
AND FOR THOSE OF MY COLLEAGUES
WHO HAVE SERVED WITH ME ON
UTILITY AND ENERGY, YOU KNOW
THAT FOR A GOOD LONG PERIOD OF
TIME, I HAVE BEEN DEEPLY
CONCERNED WITH PG AND E OVER
THEIR FAILURE TO ELECTRIFY
IMPORTANT PROJECTS IN FRESNO,
THE FIFTH LARGEST CITY IN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA. WE CANNOT
ALLOW. THE CPUC IS LACK OF
ACTION AND PG AND E S FINANCIAL
DISTRESS TO KEEP OUR COMMUNITIES
IN THE DARK. PROJECT DELAYS. IN
MY AREA RANGE FROM BUILDING NEW
HOMES. WE LITERALLY HAD HUNDREDS
OF HOMES FALL OUT OF ESCROW
BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT BE
ENERGIZED. WE ATTRACTING NEW
BUSINESS INTO THE AREA. THERE
ARE WAITING LISTS. A MILE LONG.
MHM PG AND E S INABILITY TO
ENERGIZE IN OUR AREA. HAS REALLY
CREATED, UH REALLY, UH AN
IMPEDIMENT TO THE CITY OF FRESNO
IN DOING SO MANY THINGS THAT WE
ARE TRYING TO DO GIVE YOU A FEW
EXAMPLES. UH WE HAVE TO
COMMUNITY COLLEGES THAT ARE
BEING MODERNIZED AND BUILT AND
THEY HAVE BEEN DELAYED. THE
AIRPORT, WHICH HAS BEEN
INTERNATIONALIZED AND QUITE
SUCCESSFUL. IS BUILDING A NEW
INTERNATIONAL TERMINAL, AND YET
WE ARE VERY CONCERNED THAT IT'S
GOING TO BE DIFFICULT. Tð.
ENERGIZE THESE PROJECTS. WHAT I
LIKE ABOUT THE BILL IS THAT IT
HOLDS PG AND E ACCOUNTABLE, BUT
IT DOES PROVIDE THEM THE SHORT
TERM FLEXIBILITY TO DO THEIR
JOB. AND THEIR JOB IS TO
ENERGIZE IMPORTANT PRODUCTS IN
THEIR SERVICE. AREA MEMBERS.
PLEASE JOIN ME IN SUPPORTING SB
4 10 AND LET'S START
ELECTRIFYING CALIFORNIA LIKE THE
21ST CENTURY. WE ARE
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S BURNER. YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER AND MEMBERS. I RISE IN
SUPPORT OF THIS MEASURE AND
THANK THE AUTHOR AND THE FOUR
JOCKEY FOR BRINGING FORWARD.
THIS BILL HELPS SET MEANINGFUL
TARGETS FOR UTILITIES TO PROVIDE
ELECTRICAL SERVICE TO CUSTOMERS
BUT ALSO INJECTS MORE SCRUTINY
INTO HOW UTILITIES CALCULATE
THEIR COST TO MEET THOSE NEEDS.
ONE THING MADE VERY CLEAR BY THE
RECENT STATE AUDIT REPORT I
REQUESTED CONCERNING SCG ANY THE
PUC AND CAL ADVOCATES IS THAT WE
NEED TO BE MORE TRANSPARENT AND
MORE DILIGENT ABOUT HOW
UTILITIES ARE JUSTIFYING RATE
INCREASES, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT
COMES TO BALANCING ACCOUNTS.
THIS BILL NOT ONLY TASK THE PUC
WITH ENSURING UTILITIES HAVE
SUFFICIENT STAFF RESOURCES TO
MEET ENERGY ENERGY IZATION GOALS
, BUT ALSO REQUIRES THEM TO HAVE
AN INDEPENDENT THIRD PARTY
AUDITOR ON HAND. TO REVIEW THEIR
PRACTICES WHEN IT COMES TO HOW
TO JUSTIFY PROPOSED RATE
INCREASES AS FAIR AND REASONABLE
. WE HAVE MORE WORK TO DO TO
ENSURE RATEPAYERS ARE BETTER
PROTECTED, BUT WITH THIS
LEGISLATION IS A GOOD FIRST
STEP, WHICH IS WHY I WILL BE
SUPPORTING IT TODAY AND
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR VOTE.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S STORY A. YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER AND MEMBERS TODAY I ALSO
RISE IN SUPPORT OF SB 4 10. I
WANT TO THANK THE FLOOR
JOCKEYING. ALSO SENATOR BECKER
FOR BRINGING BRINGING THIS
MEASURE FORWARD, WHICH WILL HELP
DISTRICTS LIKE MINE. I REPRESENT
A DISTRICT THAT IS FULL OF RURAL
CITIES AND UNINCORPORATED
COMMUNITIES. AND IN MY DISTRICT
WE TOO ARE EXPERIENCING, UM
SIGNIFICANT DELAYS IN CONNECTING
NEW DEVELOPMENT AND CUSTOMERS
DUE TO THE CAPACITY CONSTRAINTS.
SEVERAL COMMUNITIES IN MY
DISTRICT HAVE REACHED OUT AND
SHARED THEIR FRUSTRATION WITH
LOSING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
OPPORTUNITIES, BOTH FOR BUILDING
NEW HOUSING, COMMERCIAL
FACILITIES AND OTHER POTENTIAL
BUSINESSES. THAT WOULD BRING
JOBS TO THESE VERY POOR
COMMUNITIES. THIS BILL THE
POWERING UP CALIFORNIA ACT WILL
ACCELERATE ELECTRICAL UPGRADES
AND SERVICE CONNECTIONS FOR ALL
COMMUNITIES AND IN PARTICULAR
BENEFIT RURAL COMMUNITIES BY
SUPPORTING ECONOMIC GROWTH. SO
TODAY I JOIN MY COLLEAGUES FOR
ALL THE REASONS THAT THEY
MENTIONED IN TERMS OF
ACCOUNTABILITY IN MAKING SURE
THAT WE'RE MOVING AND EXPERT IN
AN EXPEDITIOUS WAY, BECAUSE WE
OWE IT TO OUR RESIDENTS TO
ENSURE THAT THEY ARE ELECTRIFIED
. AND WITH THAT, I URGE AND I
VOTE. SEEING NO OTHERS WISHING

ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S CONNOLLY

CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION TO

ITEM NUMBER 109. SP 43, THE
CLERK WILL READ SENATE BILL 43
BY CENTER, EGGMAN AND OTHER
SNACK LATE IN THE MENTAL HEALTH
MAIENSCHEIN YOU MAY OPEN. THANK
YOU, MADAM SPEAKER AND MEMBERS I
RISE TO PRESENT SP 43, WHICH
UPDATES THE DEFINITION OF
GRAVELY DISABLED GRAVELY
DISABLED WAS DEFINED BY THE LPS
ACT IN 1967 AND CONTINUES TO BE
DEFINED TO THIS DAY AS SOMEONE
WHO DUE TO A MENTAL DISORDER OR
CHRONIC ALCOHOLISM IS UNABLE TO
MEET THEIR BASIC NEEDS FOR FOOD
, CLOTHING AND SHELTER.
UNFORTUNATELY MUCH OF THIS WELL
INTENTIONED LAW IS NOT WORKING
AS INTENDED. TODAY. MANY OF
THOSE WHO ARE EXPERIENCING
HOMELESSNESS OR INCARCERATED ARE
ALSO DEALING WITH SEVERE MENTAL
ILLNESS. SP 43 WOULD UPDATE THE
DEFINITION OF GRAVELY DISABLED
FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 1967.
TO INCLUDE SOMEONE WITH A SEVERE
SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER AND
INCLUDE THEIR INABILITY TO MEET
THEIR NEEDS FOR NECESSARY
MEDICAL CARE AND PERSONAL
SAFETY. CURRENT LAW ALREADY
DICTATES THAT THE HISTORICAL
COURSE OF A PERSON'S MENTAL
DISORDER SHOULD BE CONSIDERED
WHEN IT HAS A DIRECT BEARING ON
THEIR DETERMINATION IS GRAVELY
DISABLED. THIS BILL WOULD ALLOW
FOR HEARSAY EXCEPTION WHEN AN
EXPERT WITNESSES OFFERING AN
OPINION DURING A CONSERVATORSHIP
PROCEEDING ONLY WHEN THE
STATEMENT IS MADE IN THE MEDICAL
RECORD BY HEALTHCARE
PRACTITIONER AND IT PERTAINS TO
A PERSON'S SYMPTOMS OR
BEHAVIORS. THE STATUS QUO IS
INCARCERATION, HOMELESSNESS AND
DEATH. IT IS UNCONSCIONABLE FOR
US TO CONTINUE TO FAIL TO UPDATE
AND OUTDATED LAW WITH THIS
RECORD OF OUTCOMES. I HOPE TODAY
WE CAN COME TOGETHER ON A
SOLUTION TO BETTER SERVE
CALIFORNIA'S MOST VULNERABLE.
THANK YOU, AND I RESPECTFULLY
REQUEST AND I VOTE
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S GALLAGHER YOU
WERE RECOGNIZED. YES THANK YOU,
MADAM SPEAKER AND MEMBERS. I
RISE IN SUPPORT OF THIS MEASURE.
YOU KNOW, FOR A LONG TIME PEOPLE
HAVE BEEN SAYING, HOUSTON, WE
HAVE A PROBLEM. AH ON OUR
STREETS. WE HAVE PEOPLE. UM. WHO
ARE IN A STATE OF COMPLETE
DELUSION, AND THEY ARE A DANGER
TO BOTH THEMSELVES AND OTHERS.
UM AND IT IS NOT COMPASSIONATE.
TO LEAVE THEM IN THAT STATE AND
TO BE CONTINUALLY IN AND OUT OF
EMERGENCY ROOMS. CONTINUALLY IN
AND OUT OF JAILS, PLACES THAT
ARE NOT ULTIMATELY THE BEST
PLACE FOR THEM. AND. FOR A LONG
TIME. PEOPLE HAVE RECOGNIZED
THAT WE NEED TO CHANGE THIS LAW.

AND MEMBERS I RISE TO PRESENT SP
6 84 ON BEHALF OF SENATOR
CABALLERO SB 6 84 WOULD WOULD
CREATE A STREAMLINED PROCESS TO
BUILD SMALL SCALE HOMEOWNERSHIP
PROJECTS SINCE 2010 CALIFORNIA'S
POPULATION GROWTH HAS FAR
EXCEEDED THE NUMBER OF NEW HOMES
BUILT. THE LACK OF NEW HOUSING
CONSTRUCTION HAS BEEN A KEY
FACTOR FOR THE STATE'S
AFFORDABILITY CRISIS. BECAUSE
SUPPLY SIMPLY HAS NOT KEPT PACE
WITH DEMAND. AS A RESULT, THE
AMERICAN DREAM OF HOME OWNERSHIP
IS NOW OUT OF REACH FOR MANY
CALIFORNIA FAMILIES, ESPECIALLY
FAMILIES OF COLOR, JUST LIKE
HOUSING AFFORDABILITY HAS DRIVEN
HOME OWNERSHIP RATES DOWN FOR
COMMUNITIES. COLOR LOCAL
PLANNING RULES HAVE ALSO CREATED
BARRIERS TO HOMEOWNERSHIP. UNDER
EXISTING LAW, THE FRAMEWORK FOR
SUBDIVIDING LAND FOR SALE, LEASE
OR FINANCING AS SET FORTH UNDER
THE SUBDIVISION MAP ACT, R S M A
, WHICH HAS BEEN ON THE BOOKS
SINCE THE MID 19 SEVENTIES. THE
S M A CREATES AN EXTENSIVE
PERMITTING AND APPROVAL PROCESS
THAT OFTEN DELAYS THE PERMITTING
AND CONSTRUCTION PHASE OF NEW
HOMES WHILE S M A IS AN
IMPORTANT TOOL FOR BOTH LOCAL
AGENCIES AND DEVELOPERS. THERE
ARE OPPORTUNITIES FOR
STREAMLINED PROCESSES TO HELP
ALLOW CONSTRUCTION TO BEGIN AT
AN EARLIER STAGE. SB 64 EXPLAINS
THE TOOLS AVAILABLE TO LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS AND DEVELOPERS TO
STREAMLINE SMALL LOTS,
SUBDIVISIONS FOR THE
CONSTRUCTION OF HOMEOWNERSHIP
PROJECTS TO CREATE MORE LOWER
COST HOMES FOR SALE.
SPECIFICALLY THIS BILL SHORTENS
THE TIME FRAME FOR DEVELOPMENT
BY AUTHORIZING LOCAL AGENCIES TO
ISSUE BUILDING PERMITS ONCE
ALTERNATIVE MAP HAS BEEN
RECORDED AND PROVIDES
MINISTERIAL APPROVAL FOR THE
SUBDIVISION OF SITES AND
CONSTRUCTION OF PROJECTS WITH
LESS THAN 10 UNITS ON PARCELS
OAN FOR MULTI FAMILY
DEVELOPMENT. SB 6 34 ALSO
INCLUDES IMPORTANT GUARDRAILS
THAT HAVE BEEN NEGOTIATING
EXTENSIVELY WITH LOCAL
GOVERNMENT STAKEHOLDERS. THESE
INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO
PROHIBITING THE DEVELOPMENT IN
ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE AREAS
, ENSURING UNITS CONSTRUCTED A
REFLECTIVE OF LOCAL OBJECTIVE
STANDARDS REQUIRING PROJECTS TO
BE SERVED BY MUNICIPAL WATER AND
SEWAGE AS WELL AS LIMITING THE
GEOGRAPHIC SCOPE OF THE BILL.
TOGETHER THESE CHANGES WILL MAKE
SMALLER HOMES EASIER, FASTER AND
LESS EXPENSIVE TO BUILD AND PUT
HOME OWNERSHIP WITHIN REACH FOR
MORE CALIFORNIANS. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR MY VOTE AND
REQUEST IMMEDIATE TRANSMITTAL TO
THE TRANSMISSION TO THE SENATE.
SEEING NO OTHERS WISHING TO
SPEAK ON THIS ITEM. THE CLERK
WILL OPEN THEM. TO THE SIDE TO
VOTE. ALL THOSE VOTES WHO DESIRE

THE SPEAKER'S OFFICE FOR 27
YEARS, THE LONGEST SERVING
SPEAKER STAFFER STARTING UNDER
SPEAKER CRUZ BUSTAMONTE IN 1997.
BUT DON'T WORRY. THIS IS NOT HER

IF YOU HAVE NOT HEARD OF ZILLA
SIGN OR TRANQ YET YOU WILL
DEFINITELY BY THE TIME WE RETURN
TO THIS FLOOR IN JANUARY, ZILLA
SCENE IS ONLY AUTHORIZED FOR USE
IN VETERINARIAN MEDICINE, BUT IT
IS INCREASINGLY BEING FOUND AS
AS AS AN ADULTERATE AND ILLICIT
DRUG COCKTAILS, INCLUDING BEING
MIXED WITH FENTANYL, COCAINE AND
HEROIN. IF YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE
NOT PREPARED FOR THE RISE OF
FENTANYL, YOU HAVEN'T SEEN
ANYTHING YET. MOST JURISDICTIONS
DON'T EVEN TEST FOR PSILOCYBIN
AND OVERDOSE CASES, ESPECIALLY
RIGHT HERE IN CALIFORNIA. IT IS
PROBABLY ALREADY BEING
CIRCULATED AND MOST OF OUR
DISTRICTS AND WE DON'T EVEN KNOW
IT'S HERE. THYLACINE HAS THE
POTENTIAL TO BE THE NEXT
FENTANYL, SO GETTING AHEAD OF
THIS DANGEROUS DRUG IS CRITICAL
TO PREVENT YET ANOTHER CRISIS. A
B 33 GIVES US THE OPPORTUNITY TO
BE PROACTIVE INSTEAD OF REACTIVE
. IF WE DO THIS RIGHT, WE WILL
SAVE THOUSANDS OF LIVES. THANK
YOU, AND I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR

PROFESSIONALS OR IN LICENSED
FACILITIES. I RESPECTFULLY ASK
YOUR I VOTE. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
PATRICK JOE PATTERSON, YOU
RECOGNIZED THANK YOU, MADAM.
SPEAKER QUESTION COULD I HAVE A
SIX MINUTES LIKE THE MINORITY
LEADER GOT LAST WEEK? PARDON ME
. I'M JOKING. UM I RISE IN
OPPOSITION TO THIS MEASURE. UM.
THE, UH ON ITS FACE. THE
LANGUAGE OF THE BILL ISN'T SO
BAD. BUT IF YOU READ THE
ANALYSIS, AND I BELIEVE THE
INTENT OF THE BILL, IT'S REALLY
TO PENALIZE PREGNANCY CENTERS IN
CALIFORNIA. AND IT'S VERY CLEAR
IN THE ANALYSIS, AND IT TALKS
ABOUT PREGNANCY CENTERS IN
CALIFORNIA PREGNANCY CENTERS AND
ESPECIALLY THE ONES THAT I KNOW
OF IN IN MY DISTRICT ARE
LICENSED MEDICAL FACILITIES
LICENSED DOCTORS WITH NURSES,
AND I THINK IT'S A WHAT'S GOING
ON IN OTHER STATES AGAIN. WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS IN
OTHER STATES AND APPLYING, UH,
THINGS THAT HAPPEN IN OTHER
STATES TO THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. THESE FACILITIES
PROVIDE SUCH IMPORTANT FREE
HEALTHCARE TO WOMEN IN ALL OF
OUR DISTRICTS AND ULTRASOUNDS.
UM WHEN. WHEN ABORTION PROVIDERS
WERE CLOSED DURING THE PANDEMIC
. THEY PROVIDED ULTRASOUNDS
BECAUSE THEY STAYED OPEN THE
WHOLE TIME. AND YES, THEY DO
PROMOTE AND THEY TRY TO HELP
WOMEN WHO, UH, TALK TO THEM
ABOUT THAT THEY ARE RESOURCES IF
THEY WOULD LIKE TO KEEP THEIR
BABY, BUT THEY DEFINITELY DON'T.
UM THEY THEY DON'T JUDGE AND I
THINK IT'S A MYTH BASED ON
WHAT'S HAPPENING IN OTHER STATES
ABOUT WHAT PREGNANCY CENTERS DO
HERE IN CALIFORNIA, AND I REALLY
THINK WE NEED TO DISPEL THAT
MYTH BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO GET
DANGEROUS, UM OF A SERVICE.
THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE
THAT THEY PROVIDE FOR WOMEN
RIGHT HERE IN CALIFORNIA, FREE
OF CHARGE, NO GOVERNMENT MONEY
AT ALL. AND THEY PROVIDE FREE
MEDICAL HEALTH CARE SERVICES FOR
WOMEN WHO ARE PREGNANT. AND WITH
THAT, I ASPIRATE NO VOTE. SEE
LET'S SEE. EXCUSE ME. ASSEMBLY
MEMBER SHELVE Ó. YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU. I JUST
WANT TO RISE AS A CO AUTHOR ON
THIS BILL. I KNOW THAT THERE WAS
A LOT OF WORK THAT WENT INTO IT,
AND IT REALLY APPRECIATE THE
AUTHOR'S WORK. UM AND STRONGLY
ASKING FOR AN I VOTE TODAY.
SAYING NO FURTHER DISCUSSION OR
DEBATE. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
BAUER-KAHAN WOULD YOU LIKE TO
CLOSE? THANK YOU, MADAM SPEAKER.
I WANT TO CLARIFY A COUPLE OF
THINGS. ONE IS THAT THE BILL
APPLIES TO ALL FACILITIES AND
ULTRASOUNDS IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. THEY WILL HAVE TO BE
DONE BY LICENSED PROFESSIONALS
OR IN LICENSED FACILITIES. IT
DOES NOT DISCRIMINATE. AND AS
OUR COLLEAGUE MENTIONED, THERE
ARE FACILITIES UNDER THE BANNER
OF CRISIS. PREGNANCY CENTERS
THAT ARE LICENSED. THIS BILL
WILL NOT STOP THEM FROM
CONTINUING TO PROVIDE
ULTRASOUNDS. BUT I CAN'T SAY
THAT AS A WOMAN WHO HAS GIVEN
BIRTH TO THREE CHILDREN AND A
PREGNANT THREE TIMES. ALL THREE
PREGNANCIES BEING COMPLICATED.
HAVING HAD AN ULTRASOUND MYSELF.
THAT WAS DETECTED AN ABNORMALITY
AND HAVING TO GO THROUGH THE
PROCESS OF FIGURING THAT OUT
UNDER THE SUPERVISED CARE OF A
LICENSED PHYSICIAN WAS CRITICAL
TO ENSURING THAT THE PRENATAL
CARE I RECEIVED WAS GOOD AND WAS
THE BEST THING FOR BOTH ME AS A
PREGNANT WOMAN, AND FOR MY NOW
13 YEAR OLD CHILD, AND SO IT IS
CRITICAL THAT WE ENSURE THAT
THESE ULTRASOUNDS WHICH AS THE
TESTIMONY AND THE HEARINGS FOR
THOSE OF YOU THAT SIT ON HEALTH
UM, HEARD ALTHOUGH NOT
HEALTHINESS, BUT IN THE OTHER IN
THE SENATE BY THE O B G, Y N S
WHO ARE THE SPONSORS OF THIS
BILL IS THESE ARE COMPLICATED
PROCEDURES THAT ALTHOUGH BEING
DONE ARE COMPLICATED, THEY ARE
TO DETECT ABNORMALITIES AND THE
LIKE, AND IT IS CRITICAL THAT WE
HAVE THAT DONE BY LICENSED
PROFESSIONALS. I WILL ALSO NOTE
THAT FOUR OTHER STATES ALREADY
DO THIS, INCLUDING NORTH DAKOTA
, WHO I IMAGINED WAS NOT DOING
SO TOO. DEAL WITH THE CRISIS
PREGNANCY CENTERS SINCE I DON'T
BELIEVE THAT THEIR LEGISLATURE
WAS OUT TO GIVE ACCESS TO
ABORTION. THE WAY WE ARE, THIS
BILL IS MERELY ABOUT ENSURING
THAT WOMEN GET ACCESS TO CARE.
AND WITH THAT, I RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR YOUR VOTE. CLERK WILL

SENATE AMENDMENTS NARROW THIS
BILL TO ONLY APPLY TO IDLE WELLS
AND WELLS PRODUCING LESS THAN 15
BARRELS A DAY, ALLOWING OTHER
TYPES OF EXTERNAL BOUNDING
BONDING AND MAKE OTHER TECHNICAL
AND CLARIFYING CHANGES. I
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST AND I VOTE
THANK YOU. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
FANGYU WERE RECOGNIZED. THANK
YOU, MADAM SPEAKER. MEMBERS.
NORMALLY I RISE TO ENCOURAGE THE
INCREASE OF DOMESTIC PRODUCTION
OF OIL AND GAS. BUT TODAY I'M
ASKING YOU TO HELP CLOSE,
ORPHANED AND ABANDONED WELLS BY
OPPOSING THIS BILL. WHEN I HAVE
WELL GOES DRY, YOU SHOULD
ABSOLUTELY BE PROPERLY PLUGGED
AND CLOSED WELLS THAT HAVEN'T
BEEN PROPERLY PLUGGED OR GETTING
IN THE WAY OF DEVELOPMENTS ARE
BECOMING EVEN MORE EXPENSIVE TO
CLOSE. FUNDING FOR ABANDONMENT
COMES FROM A FEW SOURCES. THE
OIL GAS AND GEOTHERMAL
ADMINISTRATIVE FUND AND THE
HAZARDOUS AND IDLE DESERTED,
WELL ABATEMENT FUND. BOTH WHICH
ARE FUNDED BY OIL AND GAS
COMPANIES. BUT OVER THE LAST
COUPLE OF YEARS AS THE STATE
REFUSES TO ISSUE NEW PRODUCTION
PERMITS, THOSE FUNDS THAT ARE
USED TO PLUG WELLS IN CALIFORNIA
ARE DRYING UP QUICKER THAN THE
WELLS. THEY MEAN TO CLOSE. SO
THE STATE HAS STARTED TO FOOT
THE BILL TO PLUG ABANDONED WELLS
. THE MAIN CAUSE OF ABANDONED
WELLS IS THE FINANCIAL BURDEN ON
WELL OPERATORS, BUT THIS BILL
WOULD BARRICADE OPERATORS WITH
EVEN MORE FINANCIAL CONSTRAINTS
WITH MORE CONSTRAINTS COMES MORE
BEN AND WELLS. THE EXACT PROBLEM
THIS BILL IS TRYING TO SOLVE.
DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT. THE
GOVERNOR'S OWN ADMINISTRATION
AGREES. HIS DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE STATED THAT THIS BILL
QUOTE MAY NOT ADDRESS THE
PROBLEM IT INTENDS TO SOLVE AND
COULD ACTUALLY HAVE UNINTENDED
CONSEQUENCES OF INCREASING THE
NUMBER OF ORPHAN WELLS IN
CALIFORNIA, WHICH WILL ALSO
RESULT IN INCREASED FINANCIAL
LIABILITY TO THE STATE. WHEN THE
GOVERNMENT WHEN GOVERNOR
NEWSOM'S DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE
AND I AGREE I ASK THAT YOU GIVE
CREDENCE TO ONE OR HOPEFULLY
BOTH OF US. I URGE A NO VOTE.
THINK NO FURTHER JUST GO. EXCUSE
ME. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S MURATSUCHI
. YOU'RE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH. WITH ALL DUE RESPECT
TO OUR COLLEAGUE FROM THE
BAKERSFIELD, THOSE ARE OIL
INDUSTRY TALKING POINTS. I MEAN
, THIS BILL IS ALL ABOUT HOLDING
POLLUTERS ACCOUNTABLE. OTHERWISE
THE CLEANUP FOR ABANDONED WELLS
FALLS ON TAXPAYERS IF YOU DON'T
WANT CALIFORNIA TAXPAYERS TO PAY
FOR ABANDONED WELLS HOLD THE OIL
COMPANIES ACCOUNTABLE. HAVE THEM
RESPONSIBLE TO PUT UP THE BOND
TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE
FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE ENOUGH
TO OPERATE THE OIL. WELL I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR VOTE.
SAYING NO FURTHER DISCUSSION
DEBATE. SOMETHING REMEMBER
WINNIE CAREER WOULD YOU LIKE TO
CLOSE? THANK YOU, MADAM SPEAKER
AND MEMBERS. A RECENT REPORT
FROM THE CARBON TRACKER FOUND
THAT ON THE COT THAT A COST OF
CLEANUP FOR CALIFORNIA'S ONSHORE
OIL AND GAS OPERATORS COULD
POTENTIALLY TOP AS HIGH AS $21.5
BILLION, THE REPORT FURTHER
FOUND A SERIOUS FINANCIAL RISK
TO THE STATE FROM ORPHAN WELLS.
PRODUCTION CONTINUES TO DECLINE
AND MOST REMAINING PROFIT FROM
EXISTING WELLS IS SHARPLY
DECLINING AS WELL. SO I'LL
FUTURE PROFITS WILL BE NOWHERE
NEAR SUFFICIENT TO COVER PLOT
PLUGGING AND ABANDONMENT CAUSE
BACKUP BOND FUNDING HELD BY THE
STATE IS SIMPLY AND COMPLETELY
INSUFFICIENT. THE STATE
CURRENTLY REQUIRES WELL
OPERATORS TO ONLY PUT UP A VERY
SMALL AMOUNT OF FINANCIAL
SECURITY WHEN OBTAINING A PERMIT
TO DRILL AS A RESULT, AN AVERAGE
THERE IS ONLY $1000 PER WELL,
EVEN THOUGH IT COSTS NEARLY
$70,000 TO CLEAN UP AN OIL WELL
BECAUSE OF THIS, IT'S ESTIMATED
THAT LESS THAN 1% OF THE CLEANUP
PRICE TAG IS CURRENTLY HELD BY
THE STATE AND BONDS. THERE IS AN
INCOMING TIDE OF IDLE WELLS ON
THE WAY IN EVERY PART OF OUR
STATE, ACCOMPANIED BY A FLOOD OF
RISKY TRANSFERS OF THOSE WELLS
TO SMALLER OPERATORS. THIS
LEGISLATION. IT'S ABOUT TAKING
ACTION. NOW TO INTERRUPT THAT
TREND. IT IS ESSENTIAL. WE TAKE
ACTION TO LIMIT THE ENORMOUS
FINANCIAL RISK TO THE STATE
REPRESENTED BY THE GROWING POOL
OF ORPHAN WELLS THAT SOMEONE IS
GOING TO NEED TO CLEAN UP TO PAY
TO CLEAN UP AND GUESS WHAT THE
REALITY OF THAT IS THAT IT'S ON
BLACK COMMUNITIES. IT'S ON
LATINO COMMUNITIES. IT'S ON LOW
INCOME COMMUNITIES. IN MY
DISTRICT ALONE, THERE ARE OVER
CLOSE TO 200 ORPHANED OIL WELLS
SINCE LOS ANGELES USED TO BE
KNOWN AS THE OIL CITY, THE OIL
CITY OF LOS ANGELES. THESE THIS
IS NOT HOW WE MOVE FORWARD WHEN
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT CLIMATE
CHANGE, CLIMATE, JUSTICE,
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE. THE FACT
IS, IF YOU WANT TO MAKE PROFIT.
OFTEN OIL WELL, YOU SHOULD ALSO
BE RESPONSIBLE AND IT'S CLEAN UP
AND IN ENSURING THAT IT'S CLOSED
OFF AND CAP TO ENSURE THE HEALTH
AND WELL BEING OF THE
COMMUNITIES IN WHICH YOU'RE
DRILLING, PLAIN AND SIMPLE. WE
KNOW AND WE HAVE DATA THAT THE
MAJORITY OF THOSE IMPACTED OUR
LOW INCOME COMMUNITIES OF COLOR
. THIS IS AN ENVIRONMENTALLY
JUST BILL. AND ENSURING THAT
WHILE WE CONTINUE PRODUCTION IN
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, WE ARE
ALSO ENSURING THAT THOSE OIL
PRODUCERS ARE ALSO RESPONSIBLE.
FOR THE CLEANUP AND CAPPING OF
THOSE OIL WELLS. THANK YOU. AND
WITH THAT, I RESPECTFULLY

TREASURER SAYS A B 16 04 IS
UNNECESSARY. ROBUST REGULATIONS

REDUNDANT. THE STATE AUDITOR

BARRIERS FOR PARENTS AND
FAMILIES TRYING TO GET THEIR
KIDS INTO A SCHOOL THAT BEST
FITS THEIR CHILD'S NEEDS. THAT
IS NOT WHAT WE NEED TO IMPROVE
ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE IN OUR
STATE. URGENT OF IT

A B 16 04. AND LET ME START OFF
BY SAYING THAT I SUPPORT GOOD
CHARTER SCHOOLS. I BELIEVE THERE
IS A ROLE FOR GOOD. CHARTER
SCHOOLS. BUT WHAT THIS BILL IS
TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH IS

ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S JOE PATTERSON
YOU RECOGNIZE? THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER. THANK YOU FOR THIS
LOVELY SITTING SPACE OVER HERE,
BUT I'M GOING TO SHAKE IT OFF.
AH UM, I RISE IN SUPPORT OF THIS
MEASURE, AND, UM I UNDERSTAND IS
I UNDERSTAND THAT THE LEGACY
CITIES IN THE COUNTIES HAVE
REMOVED THEIR OPPOSITION. AND
WHILE SOME CITIES BEING ON A
CITY COUNCIL AND MYSELF A LOT OF
CITIES HAD CONCERNS WITH THE
SURPLUS LAND ACT IN GENERAL, AND
I UNDERSTAND THOSE CONCERNS, BUT
THIS IMPROVES IT, ESPECIALLY
WHEN IT COMES TO LEASES AND THE
FLEXIBILITY THAT CITIES AND
COUNTIES WILL BE ABLE TO LEASE
PROPERTY THAT THEY OWN AND
CREATE SOME ECONOMIC ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT. BUT IT ALSO HELPS
CITIES UNDERSTAND BECAUSE IF
ANYBODY HAS BEEN ON A CITY
COUNCIL CELL OR OR OR A COUNTY.
OFTENTIMES THE CITY ATTORNEY'S
OR THE COUNTY COUNCILS ARE A
LITTLE BIT ON THE CONSERVATIVE
SIDE, AND THEY LIKE TO SAY NO TO
A LOT OF THINGS. THIS ACTUALLY
MAKES IT CLEAR. AH ON WHAT IS
AND ISN'T ALLOWED AND IS HELPFUL
FOR THE CITY ATTORNEY'S AND
COUNTY COUNCIL TO THE GUIDE
THEIR ELECTED OFFICIALS IN HOW
THEY'RE GOING TO DISPOSE OF
SURPLUS PROPERTY. SO WITH THAT
I'M HAPPY TO SUPPORT THIS AND I
ASKED FOR AN I VOTE. SEEING NO
OTHERS WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS
ITEM. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S THING ANY
CLOSING REMARKS? YES JUST JUST
TO CLARIFY. I REALLY APPRECIATE
THAT COMMENT FROM MY COLLEAGUE

WAHABI SP 555 THE STABLE,
AFFORDABLE HOUSING ACT. AND
BEFORE WE CAN BEGIN TO INVEST IN

BILL THAT WILL HELP US CONDUCT
THIS RESEARCH. WE KNOW THAT THE
DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT MOST
RECENT ASSESSMENT OF HOUSING
NEEDS FOUND THAT WE NEED 1.4
MILLION UNITS OF HOUSING.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING BY 2030. WE
ARE FAR FROM MEETING THIS GOAL
BECAUSE THE DEVELOPMENT OF DEED
RESTRICTED LOW INCOME AFFORDABLE
HOUSING FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS
HOVERS JUST AROUND 20,000 UNITS.
S P 555 DIRECTS HDD TO CREATE A

MEMBERS. REMEMBERS FILED FILE
ITEM. 114 SP 5 TO 5. CLERK WILL
READ. THE SENATE BILL 5 25 BY
CENTER, CARASSO AND OTHER SNACK
LATE TO EMPLOYMENT NHIÀU ARE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER AND MEMBERS. UH I RISE
TODAY TO PRESENT SB 5 TO 5 ON
BEHALF OF SENATOR DURAZO. THIS
HISTORIC PIECE OF LEGISLATION
WILL SET THE HIGHEST MINIMUM
WAGE IN THE COUNTRY. FOR HEALTH
CARE WORKERS. IT WAS AT A
MINIMUM WAGE OF $25 AN HOUR FOR
HEALTHCARE WORKERS IN OUR STATE.
IT COMES AS A RESULT OF AN
INCREDIBLE HISTORIC INVESTMENT.
THAT LABOR AND EMPLOYMENT.
GROUPS HAVE COME TOGETHER TO
NEGOTIATE AND AGREE TO I WANT TO
THANK SENATOR DURAZO. I KNOW
THAT MANY OF US HAVE BEEN
DISCUSSING THIS PIECE OF
LEGISLATION FOR MONTHS AND TO
THANK OUR SPEAKER AS WELL AND
THE SPEAKER'S STAFF. FOR THE
INCREDIBLE NEGOTIATIONS THAT
THEY'VE UNDERTAKEN ALONGSIDE
LABOR AND EMPLOYER GROUPS. THIS
BILL HAS REALISTIC TIMELINES. SO
WE MAKE SURE THAT OUR HEALTH
CARE SYSTEM CAN FULLY IMPLEMENT
THESE CHANGES AND ALSO CONTINUE
TO SERVE THE RESIDENTS OF OUR
STATE. THIS BILL WILL MAKE OUR
HEALTHCARE SYSTEM MORE RESILIENT
AND STABLE. AND HELP TO ATTRACT
WORKERS TO AN INDUSTRY THAT WE
KNOW HAS STRUGGLED TO RECRUIT
AND RETAIN STAFF. SINCE THE
PANDEMIC. THIS BILL WILL RAISE
THE WAGES FOR OVER 500,000
WORKERS IN OUR STATE. IT ISN'T
AN EXTRAORDINARY INVESTMENT IN
OUR HEALTH CARE SYSTEM. BUT IT
IS ALSO A REFLECTION OF OUR
APPRECIATION OR GRATITUDE. FOR
PEOPLE WHO DO SOME OF THE
HARDEST WORK AND TAKE CARE OF
THE CONSTITUENTS THAT ALL OF US
REPRESENT. THE FINAL VERSION OF
THIS BILL THAT YOU ARE GOING TO
BE VOTING ON TODAY REPRESENTS
AGREEMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN WORKED
OUT WITH A RANGE OF STAKEHOLDERS
TO ADDRESS CONCERNS THAT HAVE
BEEN RAISED WITH IMPLEMENTATION.
ALL WHILE STILL INVESTING IN OUR
WORKFORCE. LARGER EMPLOYERS
WOULD BEGIN INVESTING IN THE
WORKFORCE RIGHT AWAY TO ENSURE
THAT WE ARE ABLE TO STABILIZE
THE WORKFORCE BY GOING TO $23 AN
HOUR FOR THEIR HEALTHCARE
WORKERS IMMEDIATELY HEALTH
FACILITIES WITH A MIX OF MEDICAL
AND MEDICARE PATIENTS, AND RURAL
AND SMALL COUNTY FACILITIES,
WOULD HAVE MORE TIME TO GET TO
$25 AN HOUR STARTING AT $18
RIGHT AWAY AND GIVING WORKERS AN
IMMEDIATE INCREASE. IN LANGUAGE
WORKED OUT WITH THE CLINICS THEY
WOULD REACH $25 BY 2027 AND ALL
OTHER HEALTH EMPLOYERS COVERED
IN THIS BILL WOULD REACH $25 BY
2028. THIS BILL CREATES A
STATEWIDE SOLUTION. ADDRESSING
THE HEALTH CARE WORKFORCE CRISIS
AND THEREFORE WOULD PREEMPT
LOCAL ORDINANCES ON HEALTHCARE
SPECIFIC WAGES THAT ARE NOT
ALREADY IN EFFECT FOR 10 YEARS
AND PREEMPT COMPENSATION CAPS
FOR SIX YEARS. IMPORTANTLY THIS
WAGE INCREASE THAT APPLIES TO
ALL WORKERS WOULD STILL APPLY TO
HEALTHCARE WORKERS, AND THIS
MEASURE WOULD NOT IMPACT LOCAL
PUBLIC SECTOR BARGAINING.
MEMBERS THIS BILL REPRESENTS A
HISTORIC INVESTMENT IN THE
HEALTH CARE WORKFORCE. IT IS
SOMETHING THAT IS DEMONSTRATING
OUR COMMITMENT NOT ONLY TO OUR
WORKERS. BUT TO THE RESIDENTS
AND PATIENTS THAT THEY SERVE. IT
IS A MUCH NEEDED URGENT
STATEWIDE SOLUTION. THAT WILL
ALSO ACCOUNT FOR THE REGIONAL
AND LOCAL DIFFERENCES AND IS A
CRITICAL STEP TO ENSURING THAT
WE ADDRESS OUR HEALTHCARE
WORKFORCE SHORT SHORTAGE AGAIN.
I WANT TO THANK SENATOR DURAZO
AND I KNOW ALL OF US HAVE SEEN
THE EXTRAORDINARY WORK THAT HAS
BEEN DONE IN THIS HOUSE BY SO
MANY OF OUR MEMBERS BY THE
SPEAKER BY THE SPEAKER'S STAFF.
AND ALSO BY THE REPRESENTATIVES
OF LABOR IN THE HEALTHCARE
INDUSTRY THEMSELVES. THEY HAVE
SAT DOWN AT THE TABLE TO GET
THIS RIGHT. AH, WE'VE HEARD FROM
EVERYONE. HAS THIS IS MOVED
FORWARD, AND I THINK THE
AGREEMENT IN FRONT OF US IS ONE
THAT WE CAN ALL GET BEHIND THAT
WE CAN ALL BE PROUD OF THAT WILL
STRENGTHEN OUR HEALTH CARE
SYSTEM THAT WILL UPLIFT OUR
WORKERS AND THAT WILL ENSURE
THAT OUR SYSTEM IS STABLE AND
ACCESSIBLE AND STRONG FOR THE
PATIENTS WHO RELY ON THAT ON IT
WITHOUT I RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR
I VOTE ON BEHALF. OF SENATOR
DURAZO AND REQUEST AN IMMEDIATE
TRANSMITTAL TO THE SENATE.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S DOLLY YOU
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER. I RISE. THIS EVENING
AND STRONG OPPOSITION TO SB 5 TO
5. ONE SIZE FITS ALL BILL THAT
THREATENS TO RESTRICT HEALTHCARE
ACCESS FOR UNDERSERVED
POPULATIONS AND THE RULE IN
FRONTIER REGIONS OF CALIFORNIA.
EVEN WITH THE DELAYED IMPLANT
IMPLANTATION, THIS BILL WILL
HAVE DISASTROUS IMPACTS ON
INDEPENDENT MEDICAL FACILITIES,
RURAL HEALTH CARE CENTERS AND
HOSPITALS. THE RECENT AMENDMENTS
CLEARLY INDICATE THAT A DEAL HAS
BEEN MADE, LEAVING OUR RURAL
CLINICS HIGH AND DRY. THE FIRST
ASSEMBLY DISTRICT HAS MADE UP OF
11 RULE COUNTIES FROM FRONTIER
COUNTIES COVERING APPROXIMATELY
16% OF CALIFORNIA'S GEOGRAPHIC
AREA. LET ME SAY THAT AGAIN, I
REPRESENT 11 COUNTIES. 11. IN A
REGION WHERE MEDICAL FACILITIES
ARE SCARCE AND ATTRACTING
MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS AS AN
INCREDIBLE CHALLENGE. SB 5 TO 5
WOULD PUT UNDUE STRAIN ON THE
ALREADY STRUGGLING RURAL
HEALTHCARE SECTOR. S P 5 TO 5
WILL DECREASE ACCESS AND
ESSENTIAL ESSENTIAL SERVICES FOR
UNDERSERVED AND OFFERED LOWER
INCOME POPULATIONS IN MY
DISTRICT. IT WILL HAVE A
DETRIMENTAL IMPACT ON THE
CAPACITY OF OUR RULE AND
FRONTIER HEALTH CENTERS TO
PROVIDE CARE. DO TO THE
CASCADING EFFECT THESE WAGE
INCREASES WOULD TRIGGER WITHOUT
SUSTAINABLE FUNDING. ONE RURAL
HEALTHCARE NETWORK OF CLINICS
WITHIN MY DISTRICT SERVES
RESIDENTS AND SOME OF THE
STATE'S MOST REMOTE COUNTIES,
INCLUDING LASSEN, MODOC. CISCO
AND SHASTA. THEY ACCEPT ALL
FORMS OF INSURANCE BECAUSE OFTEN
THEIR CLINICS ARE THE SOLE
HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS AND THESE
COMMUNITIES. MEDICARE LIKE
MEDICAL REIMBURSES AT A FLAT
RATE. WHILE PRIVATE INSURANCE
OFFER EVEN LOWER PAYMENTS,
LEAVING THE CLINICS ON A UNABLE
TO LEVERAGE THAT LARGE ANCIENT
VOLUMES FOR NEGOTIATIONS. THIS
IS A THIS EQUATES TO $2.5
MILLION INCREASE. TO THE BUDGET
OF SEVEN CLINICS, WHICH
CURRENTLY OPERATES IN THE TOTAL
ANNUAL BUDGET OF $16 MILLION.
RURAL AREAS HAVE FEWER RESIDENTS
, OFTEN DUE TO LIMITED
EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES. BUT
THOSE WORKING IN THOSE MEDICAL
FIELDS DO SO OUT OF THE DESIRE
TO GIVE BACK TO THEIR
COMMUNITIES. I'D LIKE TO READ A
QUOTE FROM THE MOUNTAIN VALLEYS
HEALTHCARE CENTERS CEO AND A
CLOSE PERSONAL FRIEND OF MINE
PERMISSION TO READ. WITHOUT
OBJECTION. THESE PROVISIONS
WOULD LEAD TO AN EXTREME
FINANCIAL HARDSHIP, LEADING TO A
SIGNIFICANT REDUCTIONS OF
PATIENT SERVICES OR CLOSURE
ALTOGETHER. WE WORKED HARD IN
1998 TO REVITALIZE CLINICS IN
THE NORTHEASTERN SISKIYOU COUNTY
BECAUSE PATIENTS WERE GOING TO
THE EMERGENCY ROOM ACROSS THE
BORDER IN ORGAN FOR PRIMARY CARE
SERVICES. THIS LEGISLATION AS
WRITTEN WILL CLOSE MOUNTAIN
VALLEYS, HEALTHCARE CLINICS. AND
THIS SCENARIO THAT WE ONCE LIVED
WILL HAPPEN AGAIN, BUT IN MORE
COMMUNITIES THE KIDS SITUATES OF
THE FIRST ASSEMBLY DISTRICT
SHOULD NOT LOSE ACCESS TO VITAL
MEDICAL SERVICES DUE TO A ONE
SIZE FITS ALL LEGISLATION. THIS
WILL WITHOUT A DOUBT, BREAK RULE
HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS. THIS YEAR.
WE'VE EXPERIENCED HOSPITAL
CLOSURES ACROSS THE STATE,
FORCING MORE CALIFORNIA IS TO
STRUGGLE WITH ACCESS TO HEALTH
CARE. IF YOU SUPPORT THIS BILL,
YOU'RE SUPPORTING THE BILL THAT
WILL INEVITABLY SHUTTER. MEDICAL
CLINIC DOORS, PARTICULARLY AND
POOR RURAL COMMUNITIES. MEMBERS.
RIGHT NOW IN MY DISTRICT.
CURRENTLY WHERE I LIVE, YOU
DRIVE TWO HOURS TO HAVE A BABY.
THIS IS INCREDIBLY DETRIMENTAL
TO MY DISTRICT AND I, YOU KNOW,
I DON'T RISE VERY OFTEN. BUT I
AM VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS AS
YOU I THINK YOU CAN HEAR ME THIS
EVENING. SO UM, I KNOW A DEAL
HAS BEEN MADE, AND I HAD TO
STAND TODAY TO STAND FOR MY
COMMUNITIES. BUT I WILL BE A
STRONG NO. AND HOPEFULLY WHEN
IT'S SOMETHING DOES
DETRIMENTALLY HAVING THE REST OF
YOU WILL STAND WITH ME WHEN WE
NEED TO FIX IT. SO THANK YOU.
AND I ENCOURAGE, YOU KNOW
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S ALVAREZ. YOU
ARE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER. I RISE TODAY AND DON'T
OFTEN DO ON BILLS. UM BUT I
WANTED TO DAY TO RUN TO STAND
AND TO THANK THE AUTHOR, SENATOR
DURAZO. TOO OFTEN, AND, UH, DAYS
LIKE TODAY WE HAVE BILLS THAT
COME AND GO AND BUILD THAT
OFTEN. AUTHORS DON'T INVEST THE
TIME AND THE COMMITMENT THAT IT
TAKES TO MAKE A VERY DIFFICULT
ISSUE BECOME EASIER FOR ALL OF
US TO VOTE ON. AND THAT WAS THE
WORK THAT SENATOR DURAZO DID ON
THIS BILL. SHE HAD A VISION THAT
I THINK A LOT OF US AGREED WITH
WHICH WAS RAISING WAGES FOR
WORKING PEOPLE, PARTICULARLY
THOSE IN THE HEALTHCARE
INDUSTRY. BUT SHE ALSO
UNDERSTOOD THAT SOME OF US HAD
CLINICS. WHO SERVED OUR LOW
INCOME POPULATIONS WHO WOULD
HAVE OTHERWISE WOULD HAVE NO
ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE IF IT
WEREN'T FOR THOSE CLINICS, AND
THEY NEEDED TO BE PART OF THE
CONVERSATION, AND SHE SAID YES
TO THEM. SHE BROUGHT IN
HOSPITALS WHO HAVE BEEN
DISTRESSED. I ALSO HAPPEN TO
REPRESENT A COUPLE OF THOSE AND
MADE SURE THAT THE WAY THAT THIS
BILL WAS STRUCTURED ADDRESS
THEIR CONCERNS. SO I RISE TODAY
, OBVIOUSLY VERY MUCH IN SUPPORT
OF RAISING WAGES FOR WORKERS,
AND I WANT TO THANK THE WORKERS
WHO PUSHED ON THIS, BUT IN
SPECIFIC I WANT TO THANK AND
I'VE TOLD HER PRIVATELY, BUT I
THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO
RECOGNIZE THAT WHEN AN AUTHOR
WHEN A SENATOR WHEN A LEGISLATOR
LEGISLATOR KNOWS THAT IT'S A
HARD BILL THAT THEY DO THE HARD
WORK TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN IT
COMES TO US, IT'S WITH TAKING
THE INPUT OF ALL THE
STAKEHOLDERS IN MIND. AND YOU
CAN HAVE A RESULT LIKE THE ONE
WE HAVE TODAY, AND I WOULD BE
REMISS NOT TO THANK THE SPEAKER
BECAUSE ON HIS DAY WHERE HE GAVE
HIS FIRST SPEECH AS SPEAKER HE
TALKED ABOUT THIS TYPE OF WORK,
WORKING WITH OTHERS TO MAKE SURE
WE BROUGHT FORWARD PROGRESS FOR
CALIFORNIANS, BUT NOT LEAVING
ANYBODY BEHIND AND THAT'S
SIGNIFICANT AND I JUST RISE TO
RECOGNIZE THE WORK OF OUR
SPEAKER AND HAVE SENATOR
ROUSSEAU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
SOMEBODY MEMBER REZ. YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER. WHEN THIS BILL FIRST
CAME UP, I THOUGHT, WHAT A
WONDERFUL IDEA. WE'RE TAKING
CARE OF OUR WORKERS. ESSENTIAL
WORKERS. FRONTLINE WORKERS.
THESE ARE THE VERY PEOPLE THAT
WE COUNTED ON WHEN WE WENT
THROUGH COVID. WE LOST SO MANY
OF THEM. BUT THEY WEREN'T
ORGANIZED THE THEY WEREN'T
GETTING THE THEY WEREN'T GETTING
THE HELP FROM THE REST OF US.
THEY WERE NOT GETTING THE WAGES
THEY DESERVED. AND SO WHEN THIS
BILL CAME UP, I THOUGHT THIS IS
GOING TO BE A TOUGH ONE. I DON'T
SEE HOW THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN.
LIKE THE REST OF YOU. I HAD
VISITS FROM SO MANY WHO WERE
FOUR BUT SO MANY WHO ARE AGAINST
INCLUDING THE HOSPITALS, THEY
SAID. THIS IS THIS IS THE WORST
THING THAT CAN HAPPEN TO US.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO
MAKE IT. AND JUST LIKE MY
COLLEAGUE HAS INDICATED MY
COLLEAGUE FROM SAN DIEGO SO MUCH
WORK WENT INTO MAKING THIS THE
BEST BILL POSSIBLE, MAKING SURE
THAT NOT ONLY THE WORKERS WERE
TAKEN CARE OF, BUT THE ISSUES
THAT WERE PRESENTED BY THE
CLINICS BY THE HOSPITALS BY THE
OTHERS WERE ALSO ADDRESSED.
SENATOR DURAZO, MY COLLEAGUE
FROM FROM LOS ANGELES. SPENT A
WHOLE LOT OF TIME WITH A WHOLE
LOT OF PEOPLE TO MAKE SURE SHE
GOT IT RIGHT. AND I THINK THAT
ALTHOUGH IT LOOKED LIKE A DREAM
AND ENTERTAIN HERBAL DREAM
INITIALLY THE FACT THAT SHE WAS
ABLE TO GET TO THE POINT WHERE
THE HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION NOT
ONLY WENT NEUTRAL BUT SENT THEIR
NOTIFICATION THAT THEY WERE IN
FAVOR OF THIS BILL. THAT TOOK A
LOT. IT TAKES A LOT OF WORK.
IT'S HARD WORK TO GET TO A POINT
WHERE YOU'RE ABLE TO CONVINCE
THOSE WHO ARE ABSOLUTELY OPPOSED
TO LEGISLATION THAT YOU'RE
INTRODUCING TO GET THEM TO THE
POINT WHERE THEY WILL SAY NOT
ONLY WILL I GO NEUTRAL. I AM
GOING TO ASK PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR
IT. THAT IS WHERE THIS BILL IS
NOW, AND I SINCERELY APPRECIATE
THE WORK OF LABOR AND HELPING
THE WORKERS GET TO THIS POINT TO
HELP HELPING THE WORKERS TALK TO
US ABOUT WHAT IT HAS MEANT FOR
THEM NOT TO BE PAID WHAT THEY
WERE WORTH. NOT TO BE PAID WHAT
THEY WERE WORTH, AND FINALLY
IT'S GOING TO BE PUT IN PLACE IN
SUCH A WAY THAT THE WAGES WILL
BE INCREASED THAT WE WILL SHOW
OUR HEALTHCARE WORKERS HOW MUCH
WE APPRECIATE THEIR SACRIFICE.
DURING COVID, BUT EVEN OUTSIDE
OF COVID, AND WITH THAT I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR VOTE
ON SB 5 25. SOMETHING MIRROR
MURATSUCHI. YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I ALSO RISE
IN SUPPORT OF SB 5 TO 5. BUT I
DO WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE. UM THE
CONCERNS RAISED BY OUR COLLEAGUE
FROM BEAVER, YOU KNOW. I SAID
THIS BEFORE, WHEN WE WERE
DISCUSSING THIS BILL THAT YOU
KNOW, WE HAVE COMPETING
PRIORITIES HERE. WE HAVE. WE
WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR
HEALTHCARE WORKERS HAVE LIBERAL,
LIVABLE WAGES. BUT WE ALSO WANT
TO ENSURE THAT EVERY CALIFORNIAN
HAS ACCESS TO GOOD HEALTHCARE
AND, YOU KNOW I'M I'M CONCERNED
THAT THAT WHILE YOU KNOW WE ARE
ACHIEVING THIS AGREEMENT THAT
THAT ALL MEASURES, STAKEHOLDERS
APPEAR TO HAVE REACHED AN
AGREEMENT TO EITHER SUPPORT THE
BILL OR TO REMOVE THEIR
OPPOSITION, YOU KNOW, I DO WANT
TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I AM
CONTINUING HERE CONCERNS FROM
HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS ABOUT THE
IMPACT ON ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE.
AND I ALSO SO I WANTED TO JOIN
AND SUPPORT OUR COLLEAGUES CALL
FOR ANY FOLLOW UP WORK TO DO TO
MAKE SURE THAT THIS DOESN'T
IMPACT ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S WOULD YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER AND MEMBERS. IT'S
INTERESTING. THE DIFFERENT
PERSPECTIVES HERE WHEN I FIRST
HEARD ABOUT THE BILL, UM I SAID,
THERE'S NO WAY THAT THAT CAN
WORK FOR MY COMMUNITIES. UM AND
I HAVE TO SAY I'M I AM REALLY
IMPRESSED WITH THE WORK THAT HAS
GONE INTO THIS, UM, WITH ALL DUE
RESPECT TO OUR COLLEAGUE FROM
BIEBER, THIS IS NOT A ONE SIZE
FITS ALL THERE IS NO WAY I COULD
STAND UP HERE AND SAY I'M
SUPPORTING THIS BILL TONIGHT. IF
IT WAS THERE ARE DIFFERENT
LEVELS. THERE'S A THERE'S A
LOWER TIER OR ALRIGHT FOR
SMALLER, MORE RURAL HOSPITALS
THAT THAT ARE GOING TO HAVE A
HARDER TIME INITIALLY. THERE ARE
OTHER HOSPITALS IN LARGE URBAN
AREAS THAT ARE GOING TO BE ABLE
TO ACHIEVE THIS MUCH MORE
QUICKLY. THAT IS NOT A ONE SIZE
FITS ALL APPROACH. AND I THINK
THAT'S REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANT
BECAUSE SO MANY TIMES IN THIS
HOUSE WE DO THAT ONE SIZE FITS
ALL DOESN'T WORK FOR OUR
COMMUNITIES. AND SO I, LIKE MY
COLLEAGUE FROM BIEBER REPRESENT
A RURAL AREA. WE HAVE CRITICAL
ACCESS HOSPITALS THERE 35 IN THE
STATE. I HAVE SIX OF THEM IN MY
DISTRICT. I AM REALLY, REALLY
ACUTELY AWARE OF THE CHALLENGES
THAT HEALTHCARE FACES 50% OF THE
CARE THAT PEOPLE GET IN
HEALTHCARE IN MY DISTRICT. COMES
FROM RURAL CLINICS OR FEDERALLY
QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTERS OR
COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS. 50.
LIKE AND PROBABLY MORE FOR OUR
COLLEAGUE FROM BIEBER. BUT I
WILL BE WATCHING CLOSELY.
BECAUSE I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE
ASSUME THAT BECAUSE WE LIVE IN
REPRESENT RURAL AREAS THAT THE
COST OF LIVING IS LOWER THERE,
AND IT'S OFTEN NOT WHEN GASOLINE
WAS HIGH. IT WAS HIGHER IN OUR
COMMUNITIES. FOOD CAN BE HIGHER
IN OUR COMMUNITIES. SO THERE ARE
CHALLENGES THAT WE FACE THAT YOU
THAT WE'RE NOT AWARE OF. WE
STILL HAVE REAL SIGNIFICANT
CHALLENGES, WITH POTENTIAL FOR
HOSPITALS BECOMING DISTRESSED
HOSPITALS, SO WE NEED TO BE AS A
BODY. WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO
MONITOR THAT, UM AND SO I AM I
BELIEVE THAT THIS IS THIS IS THE
RIGHT PIECE OF LEGISLATION. THIS
IS CRAFTED WELL, AND I SEE THE
AUTHOR HERE AND SHE WE HAD A
VERY UNCOMFORTABLE,
UNCOMFORTABLE CONVERSATION
ACROSS THE TABLE BECAUSE OF THE
NEED TO PROTECT OUR COMMUNITIES.
WE HAVE SERIOUS WORKFORCE ISSUES
NOW. IN OUR IN OUR DISTRICTS. WE
HAVE REALLY HARD TIME GETTING
PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS. THAT'S
WHY I WAS SO PASSIONATE ABOUT
TRYING TO GET PRIME NURSE
PRACTITIONERS WITH SPECIFIC
TRAINING TO BE ABLE TO BE THERE
TO PROVIDE PRIMARY CARE. WE HAVE
A LOT OF CHALLENGES THAT A LOT
OF YOU DON'T HAVE IN LARGE URBAN
AREAS, AND WE ALSO HAVE
EARTHQUAKE RETROFIT CHALLENGES.
I'M DESPERATELY HOPING THAT
WE'RE NOT THAT THAT WE CAN
CONTINUE THAT. THIS IS NOT JUST
THE ONLY PIECE OF THIS
CONVERSATION WHEN IT WHEN A
COMMUNITY LOSES A HOSPITAL, IT
LOSES MORE THAN JUST A HOSPITAL
LOSES A MAJOR EMPLOYER. AND IT
FORCES PEOPLE TO HAVE TO GO
FURTHER AND FURTHER AND FURTHER
AWAY FROM HEALTHCARE, SO THIS IS
AN ABSOLUTELY IMPORTANT TO
RECOGNIZE HEALTHCARE WORKERS AND
SUPPORT THEM FINANCIALLY. UM AND
BUT IT IS, IS PART OF IT PART OF
A LARGER ECOSYSTEM. AND SO I
WANT TO COMMEND EVERYBODY WHO'S
WORKED SO HARD ON THIS. AND WITH
THAT, I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
YOUR I VOTE. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
MATHIS, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU. MADAM SPEAKER.
MEMBERS. I WOULD SAY QUESTION TO
THE AUTHOR, BUT WE'RE FLOOR
JOCKEYING TONIGHT, BUT IT'S MORE
RHETORICAL ANYWAY. WHERE'S THE
MONEY GOING TO COME FROM? I
THINK WE ALL AGREE THAT OUR
HEALTHCARE WORKERS ABSOLUTELY
SHOULD GET PAID MORE. THEY'RE
FANTASTIC. THEY'RE AMAZING
PEOPLE. THEY DO AMAZING WORK. I
SPENT THIS LAST WEEK. OUR FINAL
WEEKEND SESSION. MY SON,
JEFFERSON SPINA BIFIDA. EIGHT
YEARS OLD. SURGERY NUMBER EIGHT.
HE'S BEEN IN THE HOSPITAL ALL
WEEK. WE GOT REALLY USED TO GO
HOME TODAY. LET AND A LITTLE
PULL OUT HOSPITAL BED. HOLDING
HIS LITTLE HAND. THESE LAST
SEVERAL NIGHTS. THE WORKERS
THERE AT OUR HOSPITALS ARE
AMAZING. AND THEY DESERVE
EVERYTHING THAT WE CAN DO FOR
THEM. BUT WE ALSO HAVE TO LOOK
AT THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS, AND
THAT'S THE COST. AND WHERE THE
MONEY COMES FROM. AND HOW IT
GETS HANDED DOWN. WHY I'M
TREMENDOUSLY THANKFUL. THAT MY
SON HAD AN AMAZING SURGERY. I'M
NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO THE BILL.
FROM HIS HOSPITAL STAY. AND PART
OF THAT BILL IS GOING TO BE THAT
INCREASED COST. FOR THE STAFF.
IT'S GOING TO BE AN INCREASED
CAST. ON OUR INSURANCE PREMIUMS
. THE MONEY HAS TO COME FROM
SOMEWHERE. I ALSO REPRESENT A
RURAL DISTRICT. HAVE A HANDFUL
OF COMMUNITY HOSPITALS AND
CLINICS THAT ARE BARELY HANGING
ON TO WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE
SEISMIC ISSUE. MULTI BILLION
DOLLAR ISSUE. WHERE ARE AREAS
ARE GOING TO CLOSE DOWN? I'VE
ALREADY HAD A HOSPITAL IN MY
DISTRICT BEFORE CLOSED DOWN. IN
THE VALLEY. WE'VE TRYING TO
FIGURE OUT MADEIRA AND WE'VE
DONE A LOT OF STUFF THIS YEAR TO
KEEP THEM GOING. BUT ASK
YOURSELVES AS YOU CAST THIS. HOW
MANY OF YOU ALL KNOW SOMEBODY
WHO HAS MEDICAL DEBT. OR
STRUGGLE WITH MEDICAL DEBT. WHO
HAS THOSE BILLS TO PAY. AND AS
YOU GO TO CAST THIS, YEAH, WE
WANT TO MAKE SURE OUR NURSES DO
BETTER. BUT WE ALL HAVE THIS
OVERHEAD. WE ALL HAVE. A LOT OF
PEOPLE IN CALIFORNIA HAVE A LOT
OF DEBT BECAUSE WE KEEP
INCREASING THE COST OF LIVING.
SO WE HAVE THIS MINDSET. THAT
WILL JUST WILL INCREASE THE
MINIMUM AND WE'LL JUST KEEP
PUSHING IT UP. AND UP AND UP AND
UP. BUT SOMEBODY HAS TO PAY FOR
THAT INCREASE. AND AT THE END OF
THE DAY THAT INCREASES THE
BILLS. OF ALL THOSE WHO ARE
ALREADY IN MEDICAL DEBT. THAT
ALREADY HAVE TO PAY. TO KEEP
THEIR FAMILIES HEALTHY, TOO BIG
FOR THE SURGERIES THAT ARE
NEEDED. IT'S COMING OUT OF THEIR
POCKETS. ULTIMATELY AND WHEN WE
ALREADY HAVE THE HIGHEST TAXES
IN THE COUNTRY. WE ALREADY HAVE
THE HIGHEST COST OF LIVING. YEAH
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE OUR HEALTH
CO WORKERS CAN GET MORE. BUT WE
HAVE TO DO WHAT WE CAN TO LOWER
THAT COST OF LIVING AND STOP
PUSHING IT UP FROM THE BOTTOM.
AND FOR THAT, I ASK YOU FOR A NO
VOTE SUPPORT. THE FAMILIES ARE
ALREADY IN DEBT PAYING FOR
MEDICAL BILLS. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
GIBSON, YOU'RE RECOGNIZED. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH, MADAM. SPEAKER
MEMBERS, UM JUST WANT TO. FIRST
OF ALL, WE HOPE THAT MY
COLLEAGUE FROM PUERTO VILLE THAT
IS SON HAS A SPEEDY RECOVERY. UM
AND SO, UH, ONE. IT'S ALSO THANK
THE AUTHOR FOR BRINGING THIS
BILL BEFORE US CERTAINLY HAD MY
STRONG RESERVATIONS AND MY
RESERVATIONS BECAUSE I REPRESENT
MARTIN KING HOSPITAL. UM LOCATED
IN WATTS, WHERE I WAS BORN AND
RAISED. YOU SEE MARTHA KING
HOSPITAL CLOSED DOWN. AND VERY
FEW HOSPITALS IN CALIFORNIA. UM
. RISE FROM THE ACTIONS AND
REOPEN AGAIN. MY CONCERN WAS CAN
MARTHA KING HOSPITAL WHICH IS A
DISTRESSED HOSPITAL CLOSED DOWN
THERE WAS A THERE WAS A 13 YEAR
OLD BOY WHEN THE HOSPITAL CLOSED
DOWN, HE HAD ASTHMA ATTACKS ON
THE WAY TO USC. HE DIED FROM
HAVING AN ASTHMA ATTACK, AND
THAT'S THE INDICATION THAT THE
CLOSEST HOSPITAL TO THE WATTS
COMMUNITY WHERE I WAS BORN AND
RAISED IS FURTHER AWAY. AND SO
MY RESERVATIONS WAS ONE THAT
MAKING SURE THAT MARTHA KING
HOSPITALS ALREADY DISTRESSED
HOSPITAL WHO RECEIVED MONEY FROM
THAT FUN? I'M LIKE A NUMBER OF
OTHER HOSPITALS. UM DON'T CLOSE
HIS DOORS BECAUSE IF IT CLOSES
DOORS, IT WILL CERTAINLY AFFECT
THE POPULATION THAT SERVES
AFRICAN AMERICANS AND LATINOS IN
THAT SURROUNDING COMMUNITY. AND
SO I WANT TO ALSO LEARN MY VOICE
WITH OTHERS AND THANKING THE
AUTHOR FOR ONE STRIKING A DEAL
BECAUSE I KNOW THAT A LOT OF
HARD WORK WAS DONE IN THIS SPACE
. BUT I'M ALSO ENCOURAGED TO
KNOW THAT ONE WE'RE GONNA BE
WORKING TOWARDS, UM, WANTED TO
TRY TO ADDRESS OTHER DISTRESSED
HOSPITALS MOVING FORWARD SO THAT
THESE HOSPITALS CAN CONTINUE TO
PROVIDE THE KIND OF SERVICES
THAT OUR COMMUNITIES DEPENDS ON.
AND SO YOU KNOW, I'M HAPPY THAT
WE'RE HERE AT THIS POINT, BUT I
DO THINK THAT THERE'S A LOT OF
WORK THAT WE NEED TO DO. BASED
ON SOME CONVERSATION THAT PEOPLE
HAVE ALREADY INDICATED TO MAKING
SURE THAT ONE THAT WE NOT ONLY
HAVE A SUPERIOR HEALTH SERVICE
DELIVERING, BUT WE ALSO TAKE
CARE OF OUR FRONTLINE WORKERS.
MY SISTER IS 32 YEARS IN THE
MEDICAL FIELD AS A HEAD NURSE
CHARGE NURSE. UM AND THEN A
COUPLE OF DOCTORS IN THE FAMILY
AND SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
THEY'RE STILL IN A POSITION TO
PROVIDE TO BABY PROVIDE THE KIND
OF SERVICES THAT THOSE
COMMUNITIES NEED. WE ALSO NEED
TO MAKE SURE THAT ONE THAT THE
HOSPITALS WERE DISTRESSED,
CONTINUE TO THRIVE AND ALSO BE
ABLE TO PROVIDE THE KIND OF
SERVICES THAT THESE COMMUNITIES
DISABILITY, SO I RESPECTFULLY
ASKED WHAT STRONG I VOTE ON
AGAIN. THANK THE AUTHOR AND ALSO
THE FLOOR JACKET FOR BRINGING
THIS PIECE OF LEGISLATION BEFORE
US. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S BENNETT.
YOU RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER. THE CORROSIVE EFFECT OF
GROWING INCOME INEQUALITY IN THE
UNITED STATES IS ONE OF THE
BIGGEST CHALLENGES WE HAVE. WE
NEED WELL THOUGHT OUT, WELL
COMPROMISED BILLS LIKE THIS TO
INCREASE THE WAGES OF THOSE
PEOPLE AT THE BOTTOM. AND
WHATEVER WE HAVE TO DO TO TRY TO
DECREASE THE CORROSIVE EFFECTS
OF INCOME INEQUALITY ARE
APPROPRIATE HERE ON THIS FLOOR.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S EARLY YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED. I JUST WANT TO RISE
IN STRONG SUPPORT OF SB 5 TO 5
AS THE SON OF A HEALTH CARE
WORKER. I INTIMATELY UNDERSTAND
HOW LONG AND HARD THIS JOB CAN
BE A GRUELING CAN BE ON THE BODY
AND THE MIND TO BE EXPOSED TO SO
MUCH SUFFERING AND OF COURSE,
DURING THE PANDEMIC TO GO
THROUGH SO MUCH OF THAT. I JUST
WANT TO HIGHLIGHT. ONE IMPORTANT
THING IS THAT IT IS TRUE. WE
NEED DESPERATELY MUCH MORE
HEALTHCARE SERVICE AND ACCESS TO
MAKE SURE THAT IT IS A UNIVERSAL
RIGHT ACROSS CALIFORNIA, BUT WE
CANNOT ALLOW IT TO BE A RACE TO
THE BOTTOM WHERE WE ARE ALLOWING
OUR WORKERS TO BE UNDERPAID AND
OVERWORKED. JUST SO THAT SOME A
COUPLE MORE PEOPLE GET SERVICES
. IT IS NOT A SUSTAINABLE OR
MORALLY RIGHTEOUS SYSTEM. AND
THAT'S WHY THIS IS SUCH AN
IMPORTANT FIRST STEP. YES WE'LL
GET TO A DISTRESSED HOSPITALS.
YES, WE'LL GET TO ALL THE OTHER
ISSUES. BUT THIS TAKES CARE OF
THE PEOPLE WE CALLED ESSENTIAL
WORKERS AND HEROES AND $25 IS A
FLOOR. IS A GREAT START AFTER I
VOTE. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S WEBER YOU
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER. UM. I RISE TO THANK THE
AUTHOR. THIS UM IT'S A VERY
SIMPLE, NOBLE CONCEPT TO MAKE
SURE THAT THOSE PEOPLE WORKING
IN THE HEALTH CARE SPACE, UM GET
PAID WHAT THEY SHOULD UM, BUT I
KNOW IT HAS BEEN A CHALLENGE TO
GET TO WHERE YOU ARE TODAY, SO I
REALLY WANT TO I COMMEND YOU AND
EVERYONE WHO WORKED WITH YOU ON
THE BILL THAT WE WILL BE VOTING
ON SHORTLY. I WANT TO LET MY
COLLEAGUE UM. FROM THE RURAL
AREAS KNOW THAT I HEAR YOU AND I
UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERN. UM AND
I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF
US WHETHER WE VOTE ON THIS BILL
OR NOT. COMMIT TO REALLY
WATCHING WHAT'S HAPPENING WITHIN
OUR OWN. CLINICS AND HOSPITALS
IN OUR OWN AREAS. IT'S NOT A ONE
SIZE FITS ALL. AND THAT'S ONE OF
MY CONCERNS. BECAUSE I DON'T
WANT US TO CREATE A SYSTEM WHERE
WE ARE ONCE AGAIN HAVING AN
EQUITY WITHIN OUR HEALTH CARE.
THAT IF YOU'RE WORKING. AND THE
INNER CITY OR IN A RURAL AREA.
YOU GET PAID LESS THAN SOMEONE
WHO GETS WHO WORKS IN MORE
WEALTHIER AREA. BECAUSE THAT'S
GOING TO BE DIFFICULT. TO
RECRUIT AND RETAIN WORKERS AND
THE BEST IN THE FIELD. AND SO AS
WE TRY TO BREAK DOWN A LOT OF
THE INEQUITIES A LOT OF THE
DISPARITIES THAT HAS HAPPENED
OVER THE COURSE. OF CALIFORNIA'S
HISTORY. WE NEED TO MAKE SURE
THAT WE'RE NOT SETTING UP
ANOTHER ONE. INADVERTENTLY WITH
THIS PARTICULAR BILL. SO I URGE
THAT YOU SUPPORTED TODAY. IT'S
GOT SOME GREAT THINGS IN IT, AND
I THANK YOU FOR THE LOCAL
ORDINANCE. BUT I JUST ASKED FOR
YOU TO KEEP IN TOUCH. WITH THE
HOSPITALS AND CLINICS IN YOUR
AREAS. TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE
WHO DO OFTEN TIMES SEE THE
SICKEST AND TAKE CARE OF THOSE
WITH THE MOST CHRONIC ILLNESSES
ARE NOT BEING DEPLETED OF
RESOURCES IN THEIR WORKERS AND
THEIR AND IN THEIR STAFF. AND IF
THAT DOES HAPPEN, WE AS A
LEGISLATIVE BODY MUST COMMIT TO
FIXING THAT IMMEDIATELY. AND
WITH THAT I ASKED FOR YOUR I
VOTE ON SB 5 TO 5. SAYING NO
EXCUSE ME. DR BAINES. YOU
RECOGNIZED. I JUST WANTED TO
ECHO DR WEBBER'S COMMENTS AS
WELL. THANK THE AUTHOR FOR HER
WORK ON THIS, UM REMEMBER WHEN
COVID FIRST HIT AND FOR MY
FAMILY HAVING THREE FRONT LINE
PHYSICIANS. I REMEMBER MY MOTHER
BEING REALLY CONCERNED. MY
BROTHER WAS WORKING IN NEW
JERSEY. UM AT THE TIME WHERE
COVID 19 WAS HITTING REALLY HARD
. UM REMEMBER HIM COMING DOWN
WITH COVID 19 AS AN ER PHYSICIAN
. REMEMBER SEEING THE FEAR ON MY
MOTHER'S FACE? I REMEMBER MY
LIFE BEING FLIPPED UPSIDE DOWN
DURING COVID 19. I WORKED. WE
WORKED MORE THAN WE'VE EVER
WORKED IN OUR RESIDENCY CAREER
DURING COVID 19. OUR HEALTHCARE
WORKERS HAVE ARE STILL.
UNDERGOING TRAUMA FROM WHAT WE
SAW DURING COVID 19 FOR ME AS
WELL, A LOT OF THE LIVES THAT I
SAW THAT WERE LOST WORKING AT
THE FRONT LINES. THIS IS A VERY
DIFFICULT, DIFFICULT CONCEPT.
AND AS A PERSON THAT WORKS IN
RURAL CLINICS AS A HEALTH CARE
PROVIDER IN RURAL CLINICS. IT IS
VERY CONCERNING TO MAKE SURE
THAT OUR RURAL CLINICS STAY
OPEN. AND THAT THEY HAVE ALL THE
RESOURCES. SO WHAT I'M TRYING TO
SAY IS OUR WORK IS NOT DONE.
THIS IS JUST STARTING. AND WE
NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE
CONTINUE THIS HARD WORK AND WE
CONTINUE MAKING SURE WE DO
EVERYTHING WE CAN TO INCREASE
HEALTH CARE ACCESS AND TO
SUPPORT OUR RURAL
INFRASTRUCTURES. WE ALL GO TO
BREAK AFTER TONIGHT. I GO BACK
TO THE CLINIC. THIS IS REAL. AND
OUR WORK IS NOT OVER AND WE WILL
CONTINUE TO WORK. I WILL SUPPORT
THIS TODAY. BUT THAT'S WHERE MY
COMMITMENT IS THAT WE'RE GOING
TO CONTINUE WORKING TO MAKE SURE
OUR RURAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND
HEALTHCARE STRENGTHEN. SAYING NO
FURTHER DISCUSSION OR DEBATE.
SOME OF THEM ARE MCKENNEY WOULD
LIKE TO CLOSE. THANK YOU MEMBERS
FOR YOUR COMMENTS, AND FOR THE
REMINDER THAT THIS IS NOT THE
END OF THIS CONVERSATION. THERE
IS SO MUCH AS WE'VE HEARD THAT
WE STILL NEED TO DO THAT. WE
NEED TO CONTINUE TO DO TO MAKE
SURE THAT THIS IS DONE RIGHT AND
THAT WE CONTINUE TO INVEST AND
IMPROVE OUR HEALTH CARE SYSTEM.
WITH THAT SAID WE ABSOLUTELY CAN
DO THIS AND WE MUST DO THIS
TODAY. THERE'S NOTHING MORE
NOBLE OR ESSENTIAL THAN TAKING
CARE OF PEOPLE WHO ARE SICK. AND
WE HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF THE
PEOPLE WHO DO THAT WORK. WE HAVE
A RESPONSIBILITY TO. WE HAVE A
MORAL RESPONSIBILITY TO, BUT WE
ALSO HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO
INVEST IN THEM TO STABILIZE THE
SYSTEM. WHAT WE KNOW IS THAT A
THIRD OF PEOPLE WHO WORK IN
HEALTHCARE RIGHT NOW ARE
CONSIDERING LEAVING THE
PROFESSION. AND THE NUMBER ONE
REASON THAT THEY GIVE FOR
LEAVING THE PROFESSION IS LOW
RATE LOW WAGES. AND SO IF WE
DON'T INVEST IN THESE FOLKS,
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE VACANCIES
AND THERE'S GOING TO BE NOBODY
TO PROVIDE THAT CARE. SO WE DO
THIS BECAUSE IT'S THE RIGHT
THING TO DO. WE DO THIS BECAUSE
WE NEED TO DO IT. AND THANKS TO
THE INCREDIBLE WORK OF SENATOR
DURAZO OF OUR SPEAKER. OF THE
WORKERS THEMSELVES AS HE HIÂU,
CALIFORNIA AND THE EMPLOYERS WHO
CAME TOGETHER CALIFORNIA
HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION IN SUPPORT
OF THIS AS YOU HEARD, CALIFORNIA
CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION
IN SUPPORT, WE HEARD ABOUT THE
RURAL COUNTIES IN THE URBAN
COUNTIES. BOTH OF THEM SUBMITTED
A LETTER SAYING THAT THEY THINK
THAT THE TIMELINES IN THIS BILL
ARE REALISTIC OPPOSITION REMOVED
FROM THE CLINICS. THIS IS DONE
THE RIGHT WAY. IT'S DONE IN A
THOUGHTFUL, NUANCED WAY THAT
PROTECTS OUR HEALTHCARE SYSTEM
WHILE UPLIFTING OUR WORKERS. WE
HAVE SO MANY PEOPLE TO THANK FOR
THEIR HARD WORK AND GETTING THIS
RIGHT, BUT WITH THIS VOTE, WE DO
THE RIGHT THING FOR OUR
HEALTHCARE WORKERS. WE DO THE
RIGHT THING FOR THE RESIDENTS
THAT WE SERVE, AND TODAY
CALIFORNIA WILL MAKE HISTORY. BY
VOTING TO SEND FORWARD A PIECE
OF LEGISLATION THAT WILL RAISE
THE MINIMUM WAGE FOR HEALTHCARE
WORKERS, ONE OF THE MOST
ESSENTIAL AND IMPORTANT
PROFESSIONS IN OUR STATE TO THE
HIGHEST IN THE NATION WITHOUT I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR VOTE
ON CONCURRENCE, AND THANK YOU,
SENATOR RAZA. CLERK WILL OPEN
THE ROLE. ALL THOSE VOTERS ARE
TO GO. ALL THOSE VOTES WHO
DESIRE TO VOTE. ALL THOSE VOTERS
DESIRE TO VOTE. CLERK WILL CLOSE
THE ROLE. ISAIAH 59. NOS 11
WITHOUT OBJECTION, IMMEDIATE
TRANSMITTAL TO THE SENATE.
WE ARE NOW GOING TO LIFT THE
CALL. ON FILE ITEM 28 A B 11 67.
CLERK WILL POST.
ALL THOSE VOTERS ARE TO VOTE.
ALL THOSE PHOTOS ARE TO VOTE.
BECAUSE THE ROLE. IS 42 NO 17.
SENATOR MAN'S ARE CONCURRED IN.
FILE NUMBER 89. SP 7 49. CLERK
WILL READ. SENATE BILL 7 49 BY
CENTER SMALLWOOD CUEVAS
INOCULATING THE CRIMINAL
PROCEDURE, THE CLEARING THE
URGENCY THEY'RE UPSET EFFECT
IMMEDIATELY. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
TAKING YOU RECOGNIZE. THANK YOU,
MADAM SPEAKER I RISE TO PRESENT
SP 49 ON BEHALF OF SENATOR
SMALLWOOD QUAVERS. THIS IS A
VERY SIMPLE BILL. THIS BILL
DEFECT. THIS BILL EXTENDS THE
DEADLINE INDEFINITELY FOR
QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS TO FILE
PETITIONS FOR RECORDS,
CLASSIFICATION OR RE SENSING.
THIS PROCESS HAD LAPSED. AS OF
LAST NOVEMBER, WHICH WAS A
PREVIOUS BILL DONE BY MY FORMER
COLLEAGUE, ASSEMBLY MEMBER
SHIRLEY WEBER PASSED IN 2016. IN
THE PAST FEW YEARS WE'VE SEEN
OVER A MILLION PEOPLE WHO WERE
LOW LEVEL NONVIOLENT OFFENDERS
GO THROUGH THIS PETITION PROCESS
TO REDUCE THEIR SENTENCES. THIS
CREATES A STREAMLINED APPROACH,
WHICH WE'VE BEEN USING. FOR A
NUMBER OF YEARS, WHICH HAS SINCE
LAPSED. NOW. IF PEOPLE WANT TO
EXERCISE THEIR LEGAL RIGHTS,
THEY HAVE TO JUMP THROUGH HOOPS.
AND PROVIDE A SENSE OF GOOD
CAUSE IN ORDER TO GET THEIR
RIGHTS AND TO BE ABLE TO REDUCE
THEIR SENSES. THIS DEFINITION IS
INCONSISTENT. IT GOES COUNTY BY
COUNTY. AND AGAIN. WE SHOULD BE
MAKING IT EASIER FOR PEOPLE TO
EXERCISE THEIR RIGHTS. NOT
HARDER. AND JUST TO BE CLEAR
INDIVIDUALS WITH VIOLENT OR SEX
OFFENSES ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR
THEIR RELIEF. AND OF COURSE,
COURTS CAN STILL EXERCISE
JUDICIAL DISCRETION AND DENIED A
PETITION, WHICH IS WHAT THE
PROCESS HAS BEEN. THIS BILL DOES
NOT EXPAND OR CHANGE ANY
ELIGIBLE. THE SO NOBODY WHO
WASN'T ELIGIBLE BEFORE IS
ELIGIBLE WHEN THIS BILL GETS
SIGNED. SO AGAIN, THIS BILL DOES
NOT CHANGE ANY ELIGIBILITY. THIS
IS MERELY A STREAMLINED APPROACH
TO MAKE SURE INDIVIDUALS CAN
EXERCISE THEIR LEGAL RIGHTS. I
ASKED FOR I BUILT ON SB 749.
ASSEMBLY MEMBER WHEN YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED THANK YOU, MADAME
SPEAKER MEMBERS AS SOME OF YOU
MAY KNOW, I AM THE WIFE OF A
POLICE OFFICER. AND HE GOES OUT
EVERY DAY TO PROTECT OUR
COMMUNITY. BUT LET ME BE CLEAR.
I HAVE MAJOR QUALMS WITH PROP
47. DISAGREE WITH THE MANY
CRIMES THAT IT RECLASSIFIED,
SUCH AS INCREASING THE THRESHOLD
OF PETTY THEFT TO $950, WHICH
HAS LED TO RAMPANT RETAIL THEFT.
OR HOW PERPETRATORS OF THESE
LOWER LEVEL CRIMES ARE NO LONGER
SWABS FOR DNA, RESULTING IN A
HUGE HIT TO OUR NATIONAL DNA
DATABASE. EVOLVE READ ABOUT IT.
YOU'VE ALL SEEN IT. D N A HAS
SOLVED MANY MURDER, MURDER AND
RAPE CASES UP AND DOWN OUR
STATE. THAT BEING SAID. I DO,
HOWEVER, BELIEVE THAT
INDIVIDUALS THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY
CONVICTED OF CRIMES SUCH AS
WRITING OF FRAUDULENT CHECK OR
POSSESSION OF SMALL AMOUNTS OF A
CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE SHOULD
REMAIN ELIGIBLE TO PETITION THE
COURT. FOR REDUCTION OF THEIR
PRIOR FELONY SENTENCE. MEMBERS.
EVEN INDIVIDUAL GOT CUT TODAY
WITH POSSESSING LESS THAN ONE
OUNCE OF MARIJUANA. TODAY. WITH
LESS THAN ONE OUNCE OF
MARIJUANA. THEY WOULD RECEIVE A
MISDEMEANOR. HOWEVER. IF THEY
WERE CAUGHT PRIOR TO POP 47.
THEY COULD STILL BE SERVING
SIGNIFICANT TIME IN PRISON.
RIGHT NOW. TODAY. FOR SOMETHING
THAT IS CONSIDERED A MISDEMEANOR
TODAY. THIS DOESN'T MAKE SENSE
TO ME, AND IT SHOULDN'T MAKE
SENSE TO YOU. BY SUPPORTING THIS
MEASURE TODAY. I AM IN NO WAY
ENDORSING THE MAJOR FLAWS OF
PROP 47 47 NEEDS TO BE FIXED.
AND OUR ASSEMBLY PUBLIC SAFETY
COMMITTEE NEEDS TO ADDRESS THESE
FLAWS. I AM SIMPLY STATING. THAT
PERSONS THAT HAVE COMMITTED LOW
LEVEL OFFENSES LIKE THE ONE I
PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED. SHOULD
HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PETITION
THE COURT FOR A REDUCED SENTENCE
AND THAT THE COURT SHOULD MAKE
THAT DETERMINATION. MADAM
SPEAKER PERMISSION TO READ A
LIST. WITHOUT OBJECTION. I'M
GONNA GO THROUGH THIS LIST REAL
QUICK HERE AND YOU'RE GONNA HEAR
MANY OF THESE ASSOCIATIONS.
ORGANIZATIONS AND GROUPS THAT
ARE FROM ALL OF YOUR DISTRICTS.

IN 2016, THE ASSEMBLY ASCENDED
EXTENDED THIS PROVISION UNDER A
B 27 65 FOR ADDITIONAL 5 15
SECONDS. THE BILL PASSED 58 TO
19 IN THE ASSEMBLY. I WILL BE
SUPPORTING THIS. I URGE AND I
VOTE AND I HOPE YOU'LL JOIN ME
AS WELL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THERE'S SOMETHING WEIRD
MURATSUCHI YOU RECOGNIZED. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH. AS A FORMER
PROSECUTOR. I NEVER SUPPORTED
PROPOSITION 47. BUT I WILL BE
SUPPORTING THIS MEASURE. AYE.
STRUGGLED. WITH THIS VOTE. UM.
SIMILAR TO OUR COLLEAGUE FROM
SACRAMENTO. BUT THE BEST
ARGUMENT THAT I HEARD FROM OUR
SENATOR FROM LOS ANGELES. THE
AUTHOR OF THIS BILL. IS THAT THE
BEST ANTI CRIME STRATEGY IS A
GOOD JOB. AND HOUSING. AND I
KNOW AS A FORMER PROSECUTOR. HOW
DIFFICULT IT IS TO GET A JOB AND
HOUSING. WHAT THE FELONY
CONVICTION. AND SO. WHILE I
NEVER SUPPORTED PROPOSITION, 47
AND I JOINED MY COLLEAGUE FROM
SACRAMENTO AND CALLING FOUR.
RESTORING SOME BALANCE IN OUR
PUBLIC SAFETY LAWS. ALMOST 60%
OF CALIFORNIA VOTERS DID PASS
PROPOSITION 47. TO LOWER. THESE
IDENTIFIED CRIMES FROM FELONIES
TO MISDEMEANORS. AND AS LONG AS
THAT IS. WHAT CALIFORNIA VOTERS
PASSED. I FEEL THAT, UH THIS IS
. A PRUDENT ANTI CRIME STRATEGY.
FOR THOSE WHO ARE ELIGIBLE TO
REDUCE THEIR CONVICTIONS FROM
FELONIES TO MISDEMEANORS. TO BE
ABLE TO GET ON WITH THEIR LIVES.
AND SO I ASKED FOR I VOTE.
MAJORITY LEADER BRIAN YOU WERE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER AND COLLEAGUES. I DIDN'T
PLAN ON SPEAKING, BUT I COULD
NOT MISS THE OPPORTUNITY. TO
JOIN MY COLLEAGUE FROM MANHATTAN
BEACH. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT
MEASURE. THIS IS ABOUT
IMPLEMENTATION. IT'S ABOUT
POLICY IMPLEMENTATION. IT'S
ABOUT FOLLOWING THROUGH ON THE
RIGHT THING. IT IS A CRIME
REDUCTION STRATEGY. IT IS AN
EXTENSION OF SOMETHING WE HAD
ALREADY DONE THAT LAPSED IN
NOVEMBER OF 20. 22 IT'S AN
IMPORTANT MEASURE FROM MY
SENATOR FROM LOS ANGELES AND I
STRONGLY ALSO ASK FOR YOUR VOTE.
REMEMBER DIXON, YOU WERE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MADAM
CHAIR. I'M CONFUSED BECAUSE I
KNOW THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH.
POLICE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION

IMPORTANT INFORMATION. THANK YOU

I RISE TO PROUDLY PRESENT A. J R
EIGHT, WHICH CALLS ON THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO REFRAIN
FROM REAUTHORIZING SECTION 702
OF THE FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE
SURVEILLANCE ACT. SECTION 702
ALLOWS THE GOVERNMENT TO GATHER
AND USE INFORMATION WITHOUT A
WARRANT. WHICH IS THEN USED TO
PROSECUTE INCARCERATED
INDIVIDUALS. SECTION, 702 IS
SOLD TO THE PUBLIC AS A TOOL TO
COMBAT TERRORISM. AND TARGETS
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE INFORMATION
. THIS TERM IS SO VAGUE. IT HAS
BEEN INTERPRETED BROADLY
RESULTING IN THE MASS
SURVEILLANCE OF AMERICAN
CITIZENS. SINCE 9 11 MUSLIMS
HAVE BEEN DISPROPORTIONATELY
TARGETED BY SECTION 702 AND
MULTIPLE COURTS HAVE CONCLUDED
THESE WARRANTLESS SEARCHES WERE
IN FACT ON CONSTITUTIONAL IN
FACT, THE UNITED STATES
GOVERNMENT HAS A TERRIBLE TRACK
RECORD OF MISUSING SURVEILLANCE
CAPABILITIES TO TARGET
MARGINALIZED GROUPS, POLITICAL
DISSIDENTS, POLITICAL CANDIDATES
AND ACTIVISTS. THE INFORMATION
COLLECTED BY SECTION 702 IS
STORED IN A DATABASE FOR YEARS
AND IN SOME CASES INDEFINITELY
WHERE THE FBI, CIA AND NSA
ROUTINELY SEARCHED THROUGH AND
GAIN INFORMATION ABOUT AMERICAN
CITIZENS AND ABOUT FRANKLY ALL
OF US HERE TODAY. IN A RECENTLY
UNCLASSIFIED COURT RULING. IT
WAS FOUND THAT BETWEEN JUST ONE
YEAR FROM 2020 TO 2021, THE FBI
MISUSED THEIR SURVEILLANCE
CAPABILITIES BY OVER 278,000
TIMES. A GR EIGHT URGES CONGRESS
TO REFRAIN FROM REAUTHORIZING
SECTION 702 LET'S PUT AN END TO
WARRANTLESS SEARCHES AND THE

CHAIR AND COLLEAGUES. I'VE BEEN
BRIEFED WITH ALL OF MY OTHER
BILLS TO SAVE MY TIME FOR THIS
PARTICULAR BILL TO EXPLAIN WHAT
IT DOES OR WHAT IT DOESN'T.
MAYBE 13 73 IS BACK FROM SENATE
CONCURRENCE AND I WANT TO BEGIN
BY CLEANING UP YOUR
MISCONCEPTION. I'VE HEARD FROM
SOME OF MY COLLEAGUES HERE AS
WELL. THAT THIS BILL HAS CHANGED
DRAMATICALLY, OR WAS IT GOOD AND
AMEND IN THE SENATE, WHICH IS
FAR FROM ACCURATE? THIS BILL
CONTAINS THREE PARTS OF THE SAME
THREE PARTS THAT YOU HAVE SEEN
SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. CONTAINS
THREE PARTS WHEN I LEFT HERE IN
MAY, AND HERE WE ARE AGAIN TODAY
THE CREATION OF A CENTRAL
PROCUREMENT ENTITY AT DEPARTMENT
OF WATER RESOURCES ESTABLISHING
UTILITY PAYMENTS FOR THE
STATEWIDE RELIABILITY RESERVE.
AND CHANGES TO THE CPU SEES
ENFORCEMENT OF RESOURCE
PROCUREMENT. THE MAY VERSION WAS
THE ASSEMBLY COUNTERPROPOSAL TO
THE REPRESENTED, UH, BUDGET
PROPOSAL THAT WE'VE SEEN IN
BUDGET HEARINGS. MINIMUM HAS
TAKEN THE SENATE HELPED REFINE
THESE PIECES OF THE BILL BASED
ON CONVERSATIONS WITH MANY OF
YOU, THE ADMINISTRATION AND
STAKEHOLDERS THANKS TO THE
FEEDBACK OF MANY OF YOU,
ESPECIALLY A NUMBER OF JOINT CO
AUTHORS, THIS BILL HAS IMPROVED
SIGNIFICANTLY. THE AMENDMENTS
FROM WHEN YOU LAST SEEN THIS
BILL HAVE MADE MODEST BUT
IMPORTANT CHANGES TO HOW THIS
WILL BE IMPLEMENTED. I'M JUST
GOING TO CONCLUDE BY SAYING
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR
COLLABORATION ON THIS PARTICULAR
PIECE OF POLICY AND RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR YOUR VOTE. ASSEMBLY
MERITING YOU RECOGNIZED. THANK
YOU, MADAM SPEAKER. I JUST WANT
TO THANK OUR AUTHOR FROM
COACHELLA FOR SHEPHERDING THIS
BILL THROUGH AS HE MENTIONED
THIS WAS A BUDGET PROPOSAL. WE
WERE HERE LAST YEAR. WE WERE
VERY WORRIED ABOUT BLACKOUTS AND
FIRES AND HOW WE WOULD BE ABLE
TO KEEP THE LIGHTS ON. GOVERNOR
PROPOSED A CENTRAL PROCUREMENT
STRUCTURE. WHICH WAS VERY OPEN
ENDED. I'D SAY IT'S MUCH OF A
BLANK CHECK WHERE HE COULD
PROCURE ANY KIND OF ENERGY FROM
ANYWHERE. ONE OF OUR MAJOR
CONCERNS. WOULD HE BE COMPETING
WITH ALL OF OUR LOADS SERVING
ENTITIES? BECAUSE IF YOU HAVE
THE STATE TRYING TO BUY THE SAME
ENERGY THAT PG AND E OR SMUD OR
EDISON OR SDG ANY OR ANY OF OUR
PUBLIC POWER LIKE L, A DWP. THE
PRICES GO UP WHEN YOU'RE BUYING
THE SAME ENERGY. THIS HAS BEEN
MUCH MORE NARROWED. ITS FOCUSED
ON CLEAN ENERGY IS FOCUSED ON
LONG TERM CLEAN ENERGY IS GONNA
HELP US REACH OUR 100% CLEAN
ENERGY GOALS, AND, MORE
IMPORTANTLY, IT'S GOING TO HAVE
A LONG TERM VIEW. MAKE SURE THE
STATE PLAYS A VERY POSITIVE ROLE
IN KEEPING THE LIGHTS ON.
KEEPING THE LIGHTS ON IN THE
LONG TERM, NOT JUST IN THE SHORT
TERM EMERGENCIES REALLY WANT TO
JUST THANK OUR AUTHOR, BUT ALSO
ALL OF OUR COMMITTEE STAFF, MY
COMMITTEE STAFF AS WELL AS ALL
THE LEGISLATIVE STAFF WHO REALLY
WORKED VERY HARD FOR THIS LAST
YEAR. TO GET THIS PROPOSAL INTO
EXCELLENT SHAPE. IT'S A GREAT
PROPOSAL. RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR I
VOTE ON A B 13 73. SOME OF THE
MEMBER WOULD YOU ARE RECOGNIZED
THANK YOU, MADAM SPEAKER AND
MEMBERS I RISE TODAY IN STRONG
SUPPORT AND ALSO AS A PRINCIPAL
CO AUTHOR OF THIS BILL. WE MUST
MEET OUR RENEWABLE ENERGY GOALS
AND ENSURE GRID RELIABILITY.
OFFSHORE WIND IS A PART OF HOW
WE'LL GET THERE. I'M SURE WIND
AND GEOTHERMAL PROJECTS REQUIRE
YEARS BEFORE THEY BECOME
OPERATIONAL, AND RENEWABLE
ENERGY DEVELOPERS DESERVE AN
ASSURANCE THAT ONCE HE'S ENERGY
PROJECTS ARE BUILT, THERE WILL
BE A BUYER FOR THAT ENERGY. WE
NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT PROCESS
IS NOT A MINUTE LONGER THAN IT
HAS TO BE. OTHERWISE WHY WOULD
WE EXPECT DEVELOPERS TO COMMIT
SUCH A SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT
AND LONG TERM COMMITMENT? IF
THERE'S NO ONE TO BUY THE CLEAN
ENERGY THAT THEY PRODUCE? THAT'S
WHY PROCUREMENT IS SO HIS SO
ESSENTIAL. MAYBE 13 73, WHICH IS
THE RESULT OF MONTHS OF HARD
WORK DONE BY THIS LEGISLATURE,
AND GOVERNOR NEWSOM WILL ADDRESS
THAT CONCERN. IT WILL ENSURE
THAT THERE WILL BE A BUYER OF
THESE ENERGY TIES BY AUTHORIZED
AUTHORIZING THE CPUC TO STEP IN
AND PROCURE CLEAN ENERGY
RESOURCES WHEN OUR UTILITIES ARE
UNABLE TO DO SO. SPECIFICALLY
THERE ARE THREE PROVISIONS IN
THE BILL BEFORE US THAT WE'RE
NOT IN THIS BILL WHEN WE VOTED
ON IT EARLIER THIS YEAR, AND I'D
LIKE TO SHINE A LIGHT ON THOSE
IT ENSURES THAT A SKILLED AND
TRAINED WORKFORCE WILL ENSURE
WOULD BE USED TO PERFORM ALL
CONSTRUCTION WORK FOR PROJECTS
RELATED TO ENERGY DEVELOPMENT
COVERED BY THE BILL. AND FOR OUR
COASTAL COMMUNITIES THAT
REQUIRES DWR TO EVALUATE
OFFSHORE WIND DEVELOPERS,
ECONOMIC AND LOCAL COMMUNITY
IMPACT. AND IT INCLUDES $6
MILLION IN INVESTMENT FOR

YOU, MADAM SPEAKER COLLEAGUES I
RISE IN SUPPORT OF A B 4 36 AS A
PROUD CO AUTHOR OF THIS BILL.
AND I WANT TO THANK MY AUTHOR.
MY AUTHOR, THE AUTHOR, MY FRIEND
FROM SAN DIEGO FOR WORKING ON
THIS IMPORTANT ISSUE. MODESTO
CALIFORNIA MY HOMETOWN IS THE
PLACE WHERE AMERICAN GRAFFITI
THE MOVIE WAS FILMED. IT IS THE
HOMETOWN OF THE FILMMAKER GEORGE
LUCAS, WHO BROUGHT TO THE BIG
SCREEN THAT AMERICAN CLASSIC
CRUISING IN MODESTO IS BLOOD
ISN'T BARISTAS BLOOD? IT IS
CALIFORNIA'S BLOOD AND A ROOTED
PART OF OUR CULTURE. IT IS FAR
PAST TIME WE REMOVED THE STIGMA
AND CRIMINALITY OF THE CRUISING
LIFESTYLE. THE FACT IS MEMBERS.
A VOTE AGAINST THIS BILL IS JUST
A VOTE AGAINST CHILL VIBES AND
GOOD TIMES. AND AS WE HAVE SEEN
ALL WEEK ON THIS FLOOR CLEARLY
WE'RE ALL ABOUT CHILL VIBES AND
GOOD TIMES. I RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR YOUR VOTE. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
THREE OF US. YOU'RE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU, MADAM SPEAKER AND
MEMBER AS I STAND AND STRONG
SUPPORT OF A B 4 36, BECAUSE I
BELIEVE CRUISING IS NOT A CRIME.
UH, YOU KNOW A COUPLE OF YEARS
AGO HERE ON THIS FLOOR, PROBABLY
AROUND THIS TIME I READ AN
ARTICLE ABOUT NATIONALS CITY, UH
, IN SAN DIEGO AREA AND HOW THE
LOW RIDER CLUBS THERE WERE
FIGHTING, UM, FOR THEIR CITY TO,
YOU KNOW, BAN OR STOP THE BAN ON
CRUISING, AND IT REALLY INSPIRED
ME BECAUSE I GREW UP IN THE SAN
FERNANDO VALLEY OF LOS ANGELES,
WHERE I SAW CAR CLUBS, LOWRIDERS
AND HOW HOW IT'S. IT'S A VERY
EXPENSIVE HOBBY, RIGHT. IT'S UH
, IT'S CULTURAL FOR A LOT OF THE
MEMBERS OF THESE GROUPS. WE HAVE
SOLO WRITERS. AND I'M A BIG FAN
OF THE CARS AND HAVE WORKED VERY
CLOSELY WITH THE CAR CLUBS IN MY
DISTRICT. UM AND I SEE THE PRIDE
THAT THEY HAVE IN IN CRUISING
THEIR CARS AND ALSO THE THINGS
THAT THEY DO FOR OUR
COMMUNITIES. UM, AND HOW THEY
TAKE. ALSO THEY TAKE PRIDE IN
THE COMMUNITY WORK. UH AND YOU
KNOW, SO LAST YEAR, I INTRODUCED
A RESOLUTION A CR 1 76 THAT
ENCOURAGED LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO
WORK WITH THEIR LOW RIDER CLUBS
. AND YOU KNOW, AT FIRST, PEOPLE
THOUGHT IT WAS A JOKE. UH AND I
EVEN HAD STAFF, REACH OUT TO MY
STAFF AND ASK WHY IS YOUR MEMBER
DOING THIS? THIS IS NOT
NECESSARY. WHAT IS THIS, BUT IT
ALSO CREATED COALITIONS
STATEWIDE OF LOWRIDER CLUBS THAT
FINALLY SAW THEMSELVES BEING
REPRESENTED HERE. IN THE
LEGISLATURE BECAUSE IN THE
ASSEMBLY ABOUT 30 YEARS AGO OR
MORE THAN 30 YEARS AGO, THIS IS
WHERE THE BILL WAS PASSED. THAT
WOULD ALLOW LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO
BAN CRUISING. UM SO I'M VERY
PROUD TO STAND HERE TODAY AND
SUPPORT. I WANT TO THANK THE
MEMBER FROM SAN DIEGO FOR
BRINGING THIS SPILL. UM, AND
IT'S ONE OF THE FIRST
CONVERSATIONS I EVER HAD WITH
HIM AS A NEW MEMBER, AND HE TOLD
ME I WANT TO RUN THE BILL ON
CRUISING AND I JOINED HIM. UM,
AND WE'RE AT THE FINISH LINE NOW
. NOW IT'S IT WILL BE UP TO THE
GOVERNOR. IF YOU ALL SUPPORT
THIS TODAY, SO THANK YOU VERY
MUCH, AND I URGE AND I VOTE ON
THIS. SOMEBODY MEMBER RAMOS,
YOU'RE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU,
MADAM SPEAKER. I RISE IN SUPPORT
OF A B 436, WHICH REPELS THE
PROHIBITION ON CRUISING. IT ALSO
REMOVES THE AUTHORIZATION FOR
LOCAL AUTHORITIES TO REGULATE
CRUISING. SAN MARTINO COUNTY HAS
A RICH HISTORY OF ENJOYING,
CRUISING AND USING THE FABLED
HIGHWAY ROUTE 66 AS PART OF THIS
LOW RIDING CULTURE. THE CAR
CLUBS AND LOW RIDER CULTURE ARE
PARTICULARLY POPULAR IN SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA WITH MANY LATINO CAR
CLUBS BUT ALSO LATINA CAR CLUBS
AND NOT ONLY SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
BUT THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA IS
TIME THAT WE EMBRACE ONE ANOTHER
AND SHARE IN THIS GREAT RICH
CULTURE OF CRUISING BECAUSE ALL
MY FRIENDS DRIVE A LOW RIDER AND
IT'S TIME TO SUPPORT THIS BILL
AND MOVE FORWARD POSE. I ASK FOR
YOUR VOTE. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
CHOLERA. YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. I
WOKE ME UP. I LIKE THAT. ALL
RIGHT? UM I RISE IN STRONG
SUPPORT OF MAYBE 4 36. I WANT TO
THANK THE AUTHOR FOR HIS WORK ON
THIS, UM, IN FACT, JUST A FEW
DAYS BACK ON JUNE 1ST. I'M SORRY
. SEPTEMBER 1ST, UH, SAN JOSE
CELEBRATED ITS FIRST EVER
LOWRIDER DAY. AND I CERTAINLY
WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO THE
UNITED LOWRIDER COUNCIL OF SAN
JOSE AND ALL THE OTHER
COUNCILORS FROM AROUND THE STATE
WHO HAVE LOBBIED VIGOROUSLY ON
THE DECRIMINALIZATION AND
ACCEPTANCE AND CELEBRATION OF
LOWRIDER CULTURE AT THE EVENT,
OUR COLLEAGUE FROM SAN DIEGO,
AND THIS LEGISLATION WAS
SPECIFICALLY REFERRED TO AS SUCH
A GROUNDBREAKING PIECE OF
LEGISLATION, WHICH IT IS, IF YOU
LOOK AT OUR STATE'S HISTORY, SAN
JOSE HAS A LONG HISTORY OF LOW
RIDER CULTURE. IN FACT, I JUST
SAW A NEWS CLIP THE YEAR FROM
THE YEAR THAT I MOVED TO SAN
JOSE IN 1978, A STORY IN KING
WHERE IN THE DAYTIME, IT'S A
CALM, QUIET INTERSECTION AT
NIGHTTIME. UM IT WILL BECOME THE
SELF PROCLAIMED LOWRIDER CAPITAL
OF THE WORLD. AND IN FACT, THE
YEAR BEFORE THAT, IN 1977
LOWRIDER MAGAZINE WAS STARTED BY
THREE SOUNDS. A STATE STUDENTS
IN SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA. AND SO
THIS IS A VERY PROUD MOMENT FOR
ALL OF US AS CALIFORNIANS TO
CELEBRATE AND I WOULD
RESPECTFULLY ASK ALL OF OUR
COLLEAGUES TO RIDE LOW AND SLOW.
AND VOTE AYE. ON A B 4 36.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S CERVANTES,
YOU'RE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU,
MADAM SPEAKER AND MEMBERS TODAY
I RISE AS A PROUD CO AUTHOR OF
ASSEMBLY BILL 4 36 AND THINK MY
COLLEAGUE FROM SAN DIEGO FOR
BRINGING THIS IMPORTANT MEASURE
FORWARD. SINCE THE 19 SEVENTIES
. THESE ONGOING BANDS ON
CRUISING ACROSS VARIOUS CITIES
IN CALIFORNIA HAVE BEEN
TARGETING OUR BLACK AND BROWN
COMMUNITIES FROM SELF EXPRESSION
THAT BRING UNITY TO MANY ACROSS
OUR STATE. DURING THE CHICANO
ART MOVEMENT, MANY CHICANOS
EXPRESSED THEIR CULTURAL VALUES
THEIR BELIEFS THEIR STORIES TO
THE ART EMBELLISHED ON THEIR
VEHICLES. AND THROUGH THIS
PASSAGE FOR A BEFORE, 36. NOT
ONLY WILL WE ALLOW MULTICULTURAL
COMMUNITIES TO PRESERVE A VITAL
HISTORY LEGACY, BUT MORE
IMPORTANTLY, UNITY. AND SO
COLLEAGUES ARE RESPECTFULLY ASK
THAT YOU JOIN US IN SUPPORTING
THIS MEASURE TODAY AND BY
VOTING, AYE. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
WENDY CARILLO. YOU'RE RECOGNIZED

OPINION FROM LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL

THANK YOU, MADAM SPEAKER. I RISE
TODAY TO REQUEST THAT WE ADJOURN
IN MEMORY OF DEREK BROWN. WHO
PASSED AWAY ON AUGUST 22ND AT
THE AGE OF 73. DEREK WAS A
SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSMAN COMMITTED
VOLUNTEER BELOVED HUSBAND,
FATHER AND GRANDFATHER AND
DEEPLY RESPECTED COMMUNITY
LEADER IN THE SAN FERNANDO
VALLEY. BORN IN SOUTH AFRICA IN
1949 DEREK IMMIGRATED TO THE
UNITED STATES IN 1980 WITH HIS
WIFE, LYNETTE, AND TWO YOUNG
CHILDREN. THEY ARRIVED IN LOS
ANGELES WITH NO FRIENDS, NO
FAMILY AND NO JOBS. DESPITE THE
PROFOUND CHALLENGES AND RISKS,
THE BROWNS LEFT SOUTH AFRICA
BECAUSE THEY WERE DISGUSTED BY
THE APARTHEID REGIME. AS LYNETTE
RECALLS, THEY MOVED TO AMERICA
BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T WANT THEIR
KIDS TO GROW UP IN APARTHEID OR
TO THINK THAT THEY WERE BETTER
THAN ANYBODY ELSE. THEY WANTED
TO TEACH THEM THAT EVERYONE IS
EQUAL. THE COUPLE EVENTUALLY
SETTLED IN ENCINO, WHERE DEREK
BUILT UPON HIS EXPERIENCE IN
BUSINESS AND ACCOUNTING TO HELP
FOUND AMERICAN PHARMACEUTICAL
PARTNERS INCORPORATED. DEREK
HELD NUMEROUS LEADERSHIP
POSITIONS IN THE COMPANY,
INCLUDING CFL, CEO VICE CHAIRMAN
AND DIRECTOR THROUGH HARD WORK
AND INGENUITY. DERRICK HELPED
GROW A PP FROM A PRIVATELY HELD
VIRTUAL FIRM TO A MAJOR PUBLIC
COMPANY LISTED ON THE NASDAQ,
ULTIMATELY EMPLOYING OVER 1200
PEOPLE AND DELIVERING LIFESAVING
PHARMACEUTICAL PRODUCTS. DESPITE
HIS EXTRAORDINARY SUCCESS AS A
BUSINESSMAN, DEREK WAS PERHAPS
MOST DISTINGUISHED BY HIS
INCREDIBLE CONTRIBUTIONS TO
PHILANTHROPY AND COMMUNITY
LEADERSHIP, PARTICULARLY WITHIN
THE LOS ANGELES JEWISH
COMMUNITY. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH
HIS BELOVED WIFE, LYNETTE. DEREK
WAS AN ACTIVE AND ENTHUSIASTIC
LEADER IN NUMEROUS JEWISH
CHARITIES AND CAUSES SERVING AS
A MEMBER OF THE PACK VALLEY
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE CO CHAIR OF
THE JEWISH FEDERATIONS CARING
FOR JEWS IN NEED INITIATIVE AND
A BOARD MEMBER AT L. A JEWISH
HEALTH. THROUGH THIS WORK, DEREK
TOUCHED COUNTLESS INDIVIDUALS
HELPING THE POOR SENIORS AND
PEOPLE WITH SPECIAL NEEDS TO
LIVE BETTER, HEALTHIER AND MORE
MEANINGFUL LIVES. DEREK'S
PROFOUND COMMITMENT TO ZIONISM
TO TIKKUN OLAM AND TO COMMUNITY
SERVICE INSPIRED MANY, INCLUDING
HIS WONDERFUL CHILDREN, JOLIE,
KARLEE AND DANIEL, WHO ARE
THEMSELVES DEEPLY RESPECTED
COMMUNITY LEADERS AND ADVOCATES
IN LOS ANGELES. RABBI JONATHAN
SACKS OF BLESSED MEMORY TAUGHT
THAT TO LIVE A MEANINGFUL LIFE.
EACH OF US MUST IMAGINE THAT WE
ARE A LETTER IN THE SCROLL OF
HUMAN HISTORY. TO LIVE A GOOD
LIFE, A LIFE INFUSED WITH
PURPOSE AND MEANING. WE MUST
JOIN WITH OTHERS TO MAKE A
FAMILY. AND WITH OTHER FAMILIES
TO MAKE A COMMUNITY WITH OTHER
COMMUNITIES TO MAKE A PEOPLE.
AND THEN WITH PREVIOUS
GENERATIONS TO CONTINUE THE
HUMAN STORY. DEREK'S LIFE
REFLECTED THAT WISDOM AND
EVERYTHING THAT HE DID. BUILDING
A LIFE INFUSED WITH LOVE OF
FAMILY AND A DEEP AND ABIDING
CONNECTION TO COMMUNITY AND TO
JEWISH PEOPLE. HOOD. DEREK BROWN
WAS A PARTICULARLY VIBRANT AND
IMPORTANT LETTER IN THE SCROLL.
A TRUE MENCH AND HE WILL BE
DEEPLY MISSED. MAY HIS MEMORY BE
ELEMENT BLESSING. PLEASE JOIN
WITH ME TODAY IN A JOURNEY IN
THE MEMORY OF DEREK JOHN BROWN.

MADAM SPEAKER. MEMBERS I RISE
WITH A HEAVY HEART TO ADJOURN IN
THE MEMORY OF JOHN LEAHY, WHO
WAS SENSELESSLY AND TRAGICALLY
MURDERED. AUGUST 23RD AT COOK'S
CORNER IN TRIBUTE CO. CANYON.
JOHN WAS JUST 67 YEARS OLD. HE
SHOULD NOT BE DEAD. HIS WIFE,
NATALIA SHOULD NOT BE A WIDOW
AND HIS THREE SONS, JOHNNY, RYAN
AND BRANDON SHOULD NOT BE
WITHOUT THEIR FATHER. ALL JOHN
DID WRONG WAS TO ATTEND AN $8
SPAGHETTI NIGHT, BUT SOME OF HIS
FRIENDS TO LISTEN TO SOME MUSIC
AND HAVE A BEER AT COOK'S
CORNER. AND UM, NEWS OF THIS
TRAGEDY REALLY HIT HOME AND
STRUCK A CHORD FOR FOLKS ALL
ACROSS THE COMMUNITY, INCLUDING
ME AND MY FAMILY, BECAUSE MY
HUSBAND AND HIS FRIENDS
REGULARLY STOP AT COOK'S CORNER
ON THEIR WEEKEND CYCLE RIDES.
THIS REALLY COULD HAVE BEEN ANY
ONE OF US AND, UH, OUR HEARTS
AND OUR HEARTS JUST GO OUT TO
JOHN AND HIS FAMILY IN THIS
MOMENT OF TRAGIC LOSS. JOHN
GRADUATED FROM CAL POLY SAN LUIS
OBISPO AND FROM HARVARD
UNIVERSITY. HE WAS A LANDSCAPE
ARCHITECT AND URBAN PLANNER FROM
IRVINE, WHO HAD DESIGNED
PROJECTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
DURING HIS LONG CAREER, JOHN WAS
BELOVED BY HIS FRIENDS AND HIS
FAMILY. HE WAS ALWAYS CHEERFUL
AND INTERESTED IN WHAT YOU HAD
TO SAY. HE LOVED PLAYING GUITAR
, GOLFING AND PLAYING POKER, AND
MOST OF ALL, HE LOVED HIS SONS.
ABOVE HIS DESK. JOHN HAD A QUOTE
BY HENRY DAVID THOREAU, AND HE
READ IT EVERY SINGLE DAY.
HOWEVER MEAN YOUR LIFE IS MEET
IT AND LIVE IT. OUR PRAYERS ARE
WITH JOHN'S FAMILY AS THEY COME
TO TERMS WITH THIS TRAGIC LOSS.
MAY HIS MEMORY BE A BLESSING.

SP 567 ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S MY
MAKIN, ER YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
CLERK WILL READ THE BILL 5 67 BY
CENTER, TERRAZZO AND OTHER SNACK
LATER THE TENDENCY MCKENNA YOU
ARE RECOGNIZED AGAIN. THANK YOU,
MADAM SPEAKER SP 567, THE
CALIFORNIA HOMELESSNESS
PREVENTION ACT BY SENATOR DURAZO
WILL PROTECT LOW INCOME RENTERS
FROM UNJUST EVICTIONS AND
UNREASONABLE RENT INCREASES. THE
NUMBER OF CALIFORNIA'S
EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS HAS
GROWN BY 57% SINCE 2010, WITH
HIS LATEST STATE COUNT, GROWING
TO MORE THAN 170,000 PEOPLE IN
2019, WE PASSED MONUMENTAL
TENANT PROTECTIONS WITH THEN
ASSEMBLY MEMBER CHOOSE A B 14
18. SB 567 WILL ENSURE THAT THE
PROVISIONS OF THOSE PROTECTIONS
ARE CARRIED OUT IN GOOD FAITH,
AND TENANTS HAVE ACCESS TO THEM
THE BILL BEFORE YOU HAS TWO
PRINCIPAL COMPONENTS FIRST SP
567 ADDRESSES GLARING LOOPHOLES
WITHIN EXISTING PROVISIONS TOO
VAGUE AND DIFFICULT TO ENFORCE,
LEAVING TENANTS SUSCEPTIBLE TO
EXPLOITATION THAT INCLUDES BROAD
, NO FAULT EVICTIONS.
CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE TENANTS HAVE
BEEN UNJUSTLY EVICTED AND
LANDLORDS. SIMPLY STATING THEIR
INTENT. TO HAVE A FAMILY MEMBER
INTEND TO MOVE IN. THERE ARE NO
EXISTING MECHANISMS TO ENSURE
THESE CIRCUMSTANCES ARE CARRIED
OUT IN GOOD FAITH. SB 567
PROVIDES NECESSARY DUE PROCESS
TO ENSURE THAT SUCH NO FAULT
EVICTIONS ARE LEGITIMATE THAT A
LANDLORD OR FAMILY MEMBER IS
INDEED MOVING INTO THE UNIT.
SECOND SP 567 PROVIDES
ENFORCEABILITY FOR EXISTING
PROTECTION, SO TENANTS ARE ABLE
TO FIGHT UNJUST EVICTIONS
THROUGH ACCESS TO PUBLIC AND
PRIVATE ENFORCEMENT. S P 567
PROVIDES CALIFORNIA HOUSING
STABILITY AND REDUCES THE NUMBER
OF PEOPLE ON THE BRINK OF
HOMELESSNESS. HOMELESSNESS UM, I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR I
VOTE. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S WICKS YOU
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER AND MEMBERS. I KNOW IT'S
LATE, SO I'M NOT GOING TO GIVE A
THREE HOUR LECTURE WITH A POWER
POINT. I'LL KEEP IT BRIEF. I
RISE IN SUPPORT OF SB 567. I WAS
A JOINT AUTHOR. A COUPLE OF
YEARS AGO I ON A B 14 82, WHICH
WAS A LANDMARK BILL THAT MANY OF
YOU VOTED ON TO REALLY WORK TO
PROTECT AGAINST THE MOST
EGREGIOUS ACCOUNTS OF RENT
GOUGING. UM, AND WHILE THAT HAS
BEEN EFFECTIVE, WE KNOW THAT
THERE ARE CLEAR LOOPHOLES THAT
THAT'S WHAT THIS BILL THAT SEEKS
TO DO IS TO TIGHTEN THOSE
LOOPHOLES TO ENSURE THAT OUR
RENTERS ARE PROTECTED. AND WHEN
YOU LOOK AT THE NEED FOR THIS,
WE HAVE 100 AND 74,000 HOMELESS
FOLKS ON OUR STREETS IN
CALIFORNIA TONIGHT, 174,000
PEOPLE TONIGHT RIGHT NOW. ON OUR
STREETS IN CALIFORNIA, SO I RISE
ON BEHALF OF THEM. I RISE ON
BEHALF OF THE FACT THAT THE
MAJORITY OF THOSE FOLKS
EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS ARE
BECAUSE THEY CAN'T AFFORD THE
RENT. THE RENT IS TOO HIGH.
THAT'S WHY THEY'RE ON THE
STREETS. I RISE BECAUSE 80% OF
OUR LOW INCOME. UH UM WORKING
CLASS FAMILIES ARE WRITTEN,
BURDENED IN THIS STATE, AND I
RISE BECAUSE 59% OF AMERICANS
ARE ONE PAYCHECK AWAY FROM BEING
HOMELESS. SO DOING EVERYTHING WE
CAN TO PROTECT PROTECT. OUR
RENTERS IS CRITICAL. WE'VE BEEN
A LOT OF WORK IN THIS BODY TO
STREAMLINE TO FUND A LOT OF, UH
GOOD PROGRAMS TO BUILD MORE
HOUSING. THIS IS ANOTHER
CRITICAL PILLAR TO ENSURE THAT
OUR TENANTS ARE PROTECTED. SO I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AND I VOTE
AND I WILL SAY I WANT TO THANK
OUR COLLEAGUE FROM LOS ANGELES
FOR BEING THE FLOOR JOCKEY ON
THIS AND SENATOR DURAZO FOR
DRIVING THIS AND GETTING THE
APARTMENT ASSOCIATION NEUTRAL ON
THIS BILL. THAT IS NOT AN EASY
THING TO DO. AND I SAY THAT IS
THE HOUSING CHAIR. THERE'S A LOT
OF STAKEHOLDERS INVOLVED, AND SO
SHE IS A MAGICIAN THIS YEAR AND
ALL THE BIG BILLS THAT SHE HAS
CARRIED AND IT WAS RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR AN I VOTE.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S WENDY CARILLO,
YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU,
MADAM SPEAKER AND MEMBERS. I
RISE IN STRONG SUPPORT OF SB 567
, A CRITICAL PIECE OF
LEGISLATION TO PROTECT TENANTS
FROM EVICTIONS AND CURB OUR
HOMELESSNESS CRISIS EVERY YEAR.
THE DISTRESSING REALITY UNFOLDS
THAT ONE IN 25 RENTERS FACES THE
THREAT OF EVICTION. FEMALE BLACK
AND LATINO RENTERS ARE
DISPROPORTIONATELY BURDENED BY
EVICTION AND THE CONSTANT THREAT
OF LOSING THEIR HOMES FOR THOSE
WHO MANAGED TO AVERT EVICTIONS,
THEY'RE RELIEVED AS OFTEN
OVERSHADOWED. BY FINES AND FEES
AND ADDITIONAL WEIGHT THAT
INFLATES THEIR MONTHLY HOUSING
COSTS BY MORE THAN 20. THIS
FINANCIAL STRAIN CAN BE A CLOSE
CASE AS A STAGGERING 90% OF
RENTERS NAVIGATE THE LABYRINTH
OF EVICTION PROCEEDINGS WITH
LEGAL REPRESENT WITHOUT LEGAL
REPRESENTATION IN A STATE WHERE
VACANCY RAINS RATES REMAIN
HISTORICALLY LOW. THE
CONSEQUENCE OF EVICTION IS
IMMEDIATE HOMELESSNESS WITH FEW
OPTIONS BACK INTO STABLE HOUSING
WITHIN ONE'S MEANS. THE TURNER
CENTER REVEALS AN ALARMING
STATISTIC FOLLOWING A ONE YEAR
LEASE 57% OF PROPERTIES WERE
ADVERTISED WITH RENTAL INCREASES
THAT SURPASS THE PREVIOUS ABBY
FOR 14 82 CAP. EVEN LANDMARK
LEGISLATION THAT WE HAVE
APPROVED AND THOUGHT FOR CAN BE
FRAUGHT WITH UNFORESEEN
LOOPHOLES IN LOS ANGELES ALONE
OVER 40,000 EVICTION NOTICES
HAVE GONE OUT THIS YEAR ALONE.
CALIFORNIA'S DESPERATE NEED FOR
AN INCREASE IN MARKET RATE AND
AFFORDABLE HOUSING. AFFORDABLE
HOUSING IS KEY CANNOT BE DENIED
. WE MUST EXPLORE INNOVATIVE
STRATEGIES TO BUILD HOUSING
THROUGHOUT THE STATE. BUT AS WE
CHART FORWARD WITH THIS PATH, WE
MUST PRIORITIZE PROTECTION OF
TENANTS IN THEIR CURRENT HOMES.
AND WITH THAT, I RESPECTFULLY
REQUEST AND I VOTE ON SB 567.
SOME REMEMBER HENNY, YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER. I RISE IN SUPPORT OF SB
567 AND I TAKE MY COLLEAGUES
FROM LOS ANGELES FOR THEIR
LEADERSHIP. THIS IS AN
INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT MEASURE. WE
AS WE KNOW I HAVE A HOMELESSNESS
CRISIS IN OUR STATE, HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE IN OUR STATE
LIVING ON THE STREET. WE HAVE
THE MOST HOMELESSNESS AND THE
HIGHEST RATE OF HOMELESSNESS OF
ANY STATE IN THE COUNTRY AND THE
WE NEED TO GET THE FOLKS WHO ARE
ON THE STREET RIGHT NOW INTO
HOUSING INTO SHELTER. WHAT WE
KNOW IS EVERY DAY EVERY WEEK
EVERY MONTH, MORE AND MORE
PEOPLE ARE FINDING THEMSELVES
OUT ON THE STREET. AND SO EVEN
IF WE HELP THE PEOPLE WHO ARE
OUT THERE NOW THE THING THAT WE
NEED TO DO MOST FUNDAMENTALLY,
IS MAKE SURE PEOPLE DON'T BECOME
HOMELESS. TO BEGIN WITH THAT
STARTS WITH KEEPING PEOPLE IN
THEIR HOMES IF WE CAN IN IN A
WAY THAT ENSURES THEY ARE NOT
EVICTED, UNJUSTLY, AND THAT'S
WHAT THIS BILL WILL DO. I THINK
IT DOES IT IN A SMART WAY IN A
FAIR WAY, AND I APPRECIATE
EVERYONE WHO'S COMING COME
TOGETHER, THE AUTHORS THE
ADVOCATES AND THE APARTMENT
ASSOCIATION AND OTHERS TO COME
TO AN AGREEMENT. HERE I AM THE
CHAIR OF OUR RENTERS CAUCUS HERE
. WE STARTED THIS YEAR. AS YOU
ALL KNOW, THE FIRST EVER RENTERS
CAUCUS LEGISLATIVE RENTALS
CARCASS. THERE ARE FOUR MEMBERS
OF THAT CAUCUS HERE IN THIS BODY
. PEOPLE WHO DO NOT OWN HOMES
AND IDENTIFY AS RENTERS. AH AND
WE REPRESENT ALSO THE OVER 40%
17 MILLION PLUS RENTERS IN OUR
STATE. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US
REPRESENT RENTERS. AND I THINK
WHETHER YOU'RE A RENTER OR
HOMEOWNER, OUR LANDLORD OR
WHATEVER IT IS, YOU CAN GET
BEHIND THIS, UH AND WE CAN ALL
BE A CHAMPION FOR RENTERS TODAY
AND ALSO IN CONFRONTING OUR
HOMELESSNESS CRISIS AND
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR A VOTE.
SAYING NO FURTHER DISCUSSION.
EXCUSE ME. HELLO MEMBERS. WE
CAN'T LET FAMILIES GET PUSHED
OUT ON THE STREETS. IT
DESTABILIZED THEIR LIVES. KIDS

AFFECTS THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE

FEDERAL MINIMUM WAGE TO MINIMUM
AGE TO PURCHASE A FIREARM FROM
18 TO 21 INSTITUTE, A REASONABLE
WAITING PERIOD FOR ALL GUN
PURCHASES AND BAN THE CIVILIAN
PURCHASE OF ASSAULT WEAPONS. WE
INTENTIONALLY CRAFTED THE
RESOLUTION IN A WAY TO ENSURE
THAT CONCERNS ABOUT A RUNAWAY
CONVENTION CANNOT OCCUR. THIS
RESOLUTION NARROWLY DEFINES THE
PURPOSE FOR THE CONSTITUTIONAL
CONVENTION AND THE TYPES OF
MEASURES TO BE CONSIDERED. THE
REVOLUTION ALSO PROVIDES THAT
CALIFORNIA'S VOTE TO CREATE THE
CONVENTION WILL BECOME VOID IF
AMENDMENTS ARE BROUGHT FORWARD
ON SUBJECTS OTHER THAN THOSE
SPECIFIED. WITH THE SUPPORT OF
THE PEOPLE ACROSS ALL POLITICAL
IDEOLOGIES WHO OVERWHELMINGLY
SUPPORT THESE MEASURES WE CAN
AND WILL GET THIS DONE.
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR I VOTE
ON THE HISTORIC SJ R SEVEN.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S LACKEY. YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER. I FEEL OBLIGATED AS ONE
OF THE FEW ELECTED
REPRESENTATIVES IN THIS
LEGISLATURE. WHO IS REQUIRED TO
TRAIN. TRAINED WITH AND CARRY A
GUN EVERY SINGLE DAY AS A LAW
ENFORCEMENT OFFICER. THERE'S A
FUNDAMENTALLY FLAWED PREMISE AND
FRAMING THIS MEASURE AROUND GUN
VIOLENCE. IN FACT, I HESITATE TO
USE THE TERM GUN VIOLENCE
BECAUSE THE TERM IS A
DISINGENUOUS MISNOMER. HOW CAN A
GUN BE VIOLENT? A GUN IS A TOOL.
AND THE TOOL IS ONLY AS
DANGEROUS AS THE INDIVIDUAL
WIELDING IT. THE HARSH REALITY
IS THAT THIS MEASURE FAILS TO
ADDRESS THAT THIS MEASURE FAILS
TO ADDRESS IS THAT BEHAVIOR IS
RESPONSIBLE FOR SO CALLED GUN
VIOLENCE. CALIFORNIA HAS MORE
THAN 100 GUN LAWS ON THE BOOKS.
BUT MASS SHOOTINGS, GUN RELATED
TRAGEDY CONTINUE TO PERSIST.
20,022. AW, 37% MORE HOMICIDES
BY FIREARM COMPARED TO THE 10
YEAR LOW FOR THIS FIGURE IN 2019
, ACCORDING TO THE CALIFORNIA
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. WITHOUT
RECOGNITION AND PUNISHMENT OF
CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR. IT IS NAIVE
TO BELIEVE THAT COMMON SENSE GUN
CONTROL WILL STOP CRIMINALS FROM
OBTAINING AND USING GUNS TO MAKE
TO COMMIT CRIME. THE BUREAU OF
JUSTICE STATISTICS REPORT AS
MUCH IN THEIR 2019 REPORT ON THE
SOURCE AND USE OF FIREARMS. BEEN
INVOLVED. THAT WERE INVOLVED IN
CRIMES 90% OF STATE AND FEDERAL
PRISONERS WHO POSSESSED A GUN
DURING THEIR OFFENSE DID NOT
OBTAIN IT FROM A RETAIL STORE.
IT'S FICTION. THE LEGAL FIREARM
OWNERS COMMIT EVEN A FRACTION OF
CRIMES CARRIED WITH IT WITH
WITHOUT I'M SORRY, CARRIED OUT
WITH A GUN. THAT'S BECAUSE WITH
THE PROPER TRAINING AND CARE GUN
CAN BE A TOOL FOR PUBLIC SAFETY
PROTECTION AND DE ESCALATION.
THE WAY I SEE IT, POSSESSING A
GUN. IS A GREAT RESPONSIBILITY,
THE SAME KIND OF RESPONSIBILITY
THAT ONE HAS AN OPERATING A
MOTOR VEHICLE. A CAR CAN ALSO BE
A DEADLY WEAPON IN THE HANDS OF
AN UNTRAINED OR IRRESPONSIBLE
DRIVER. BUT WITH ADEQUATE
INSTRUCTION OF RESPONSIBLE USE
OF CAR SIMPLY BECOMES AN
EXTENSION OF THE USER. IT CAN BE
AN INCREDIBLE TOOL. CALIFORNIA'S
APPROACH TO GUN CONTROL IS FAR
FROM PERFECT. AND I THINK AND I
THINK WE SHOULD BE LESS
PRESCRIPTIVE ABOUT HOW WE FIX A
PROBLEM NATIONALLY THAT WE
HAVEN'T EVEN FIXED YOUR OWN
CITIES AND COUNTIES. I HOPE THAT
IN THE FUTURE WE CAN BE A LITTLE
MORE OPEN MINDED ABOUT ACTUALLY
ADDRESSING THE ROOT CAUSES OF
VIOLENT ACTS COMMITTED WITH
FIREARMS. WHAT WE SEE
TRANSPIRING IN OUR STATE AND
COUNTRY IS TRAGIC. I DO ADMIT
THAT AND I SUPPORT REAL
CONVERSATIONS AND SOLUTIONS
ABOUT HOW WE CAN MAKE THAT
CHANGE. STR SEVEN IS NOT ONE OF
THOSE SOLUTIONS IN MY OPINION.
BESIDES WHAT DO YOU THINK I
WOULD SAY TO THAT? DOES A
SCORPION STING WHEN FIGHTING
BACK? THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A
SONG ANYWAYS. I WILL NOT BE
SUPPORTING THIS BILL.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S GIBSON, YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU VERY MUCH,
MADAM SPEAKER. AH AND MEMBERS
FIRST OF ALL WANT TO I RISE AS A
PROUD CO AUTHOR OF AS J. R
SEVEN. BY MY COLLEAGUE, SENATOR
WAHA. I WANT TO ALSO THANK MY
FRATERNITY BROTHER. CAPITAL.
ASIDE FROM LOS ANGELES FOR
FLORIDA, SHOCKING THIS MEASURE
BEFORE US TO THIS EVENING. AS J
. R SEVEN WOULD BE WOULD REQUEST
CONGRESS. TO CALL FOR A
CONSTITUTIONAL UM, THE
CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. TO
PROPOSE A NEW CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMENT. THIS AMENDMENT I
WOULD ADD SENSIBLE. UNDERSCORE
SENSIBLE GUN REGULATIONS TO THE
CONSTITUTION. THIS IS NOT JUST,
UH, BILL THAT'S HALF HAZARD.
LEE. UH IT STRENGTHENS, BUT IT
STRENGTHENS OUR SECOND
AMENDMENT, RIGHT? IT IS NOT. IT
IS NOT A LOT TO ASK FOR. FOR
UNIVERSAL BACKGROUND CHECK. IT
IS NOT ALLOWED TO ASK FOR
WAITING PERIODS WHEN PURCHASING
A GUN IT IS NOT ALLOWED TO ASK
FOR TO BAN GHOST GUNS IN THIS
COUNTRY. IT IS NOT ALLOWED TO
ASK FOR BANNING CONCEALED CARRY
. IT IS NOT A LOT TO ASK FOR RED
TO PROVIDE RED FLAG LAWS. IT IS
NOT TO ASK NOT ALLOWED TO ASK
FOR WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO
BANNING ASSAULT WEAPONS IN THIS
COUNTRY. MEMBERS I AM TIRED OF
HEARING MEN, WOMEN AND MOSTLY
CHILDREN. THE FUTURE OF
CALIFORNIA. DYING. AT GUN
VIOLENCE. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. IT
IS OUR DUTY AS WELL AS OUR
RESPONSIBILITY. TO ACT NOW. NO
MORE MASS SHOOTINGS. NO MORE
BEING SCARED TO GO TO THE
GROCERY STORE. NO MORE SCARED TO
GO TO OUR CHURCHES. OUR SOCIAL
PLACES OF GATHERING SUCH AS
CLUBS. OR EVEN FOR OUR CHILDREN
TO GO TO SCHOOL. THIS LAST WEEK.
ON SATURDAY, TALKING THE
BACKGROUND TAKE IT OUTSIDE. THIS
LAST WEEK. 700 MOTHERS IN MY
DISTRICT JOINED ME. IN WHAT.
WELL, WE'VE HAD AND SEEN UPTICK
WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO GUN
VIOLENCE 700 MOTHERS. OR WHO ARE
IN MOURNING. WORTH MARCHING 2.5
MILES WITH ME AND OTHER PEOPLE,
MOTHERS AND BLACK MOTHERS WHO
ARE STILL MOURNING THE LOSS OF
THEIR CHILDREN. AND THESE
CHILDREN DIED OF GUN VIOLENCE,
NOT JUST IN MY COMMUNITY, BUT
PEOPLE CAME FROM OAKLAND AND
FROM SAN FRANCISCO TO JOIN IN
AND ELEVATE THEIR VOICES. THESE
MOTHERS CARRIED A CASKET. AND WE
WERE FOLLOWING BEHIND A HEARSE.
TO SIMPLY SAY NO MORE VIOLENCE.
NO MORE GUN VIOLENCE. ENOUGH IS
ENOUGH. FOR THE FAMILIES WHO ARE
STILL MOURNING THE LOSS OF A
LOVED ONES DUE TO A SENSELESS
GUN VIOLENCE TO THE FRIENDS WHO
LOST THEIR THEIR OWN CHILDHOOD
FRIENDS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD WHO
THEY GREW UP WITH DUE TO GUN
VIOLENCE. THE BROKEN HEARTS, THE
TEARS THE LAST TIME THAT THEY
WILL SEE AND SAY GOODBYE TO
THEIR LOVED ONES. I WANT TO
THANK OUR GOVERNOR FOR TAKING A
BOLD STEP. OTHER GOVERNORS AND
OTHER STATES ARE NOT DOING THIS.
TALKING ABOUT CREATING ANOTHER
AMENDMENT TO OUR CONSTITUTION TO
SPEAK TO GUN VIOLENCE TO PUT IN
SENSIBLE GUN LEGISLATION THAT
WILL HOPEFULLY DECREASE THE GUN
VIOLENCE NOT ONLY IN CALIFORNIA
, BUT AROUND THIS COUNTRY. IT'S
THE RIGHT THING TO DO. AND IF
YOU IF YOU DON'T KNOW ANYONE OR
ANY FAMILY. THAT IS EFFORTS THAT
HAS EVER SUFFERED THE LOSS OF A
OF A OF A LOVED ONE DUE TO GUN
VIOLENCE. KEEP ON LIVING.
BECAUSE AT THE RATE WE'RE GOING
EVERY TIME WE LISTEN TO OUR NEWS
MEDIA. WHAT ARE TV? READ A
NEWSPAPER OR LISTEN TO THE RADIO
. WE'RE FINDING OUT THERE ARE
MASS SHOOTING TAKING PLACE ALL
OVER THIS COUNTRY. AND IT'S TIME
FOR CALIFORNIA LEAD IN
CALIFORNIA CAN DO SECONDS.
CALIFORNIA CAN DO THIS AND THIS
MEASURE THAT'S BEFORE US TODAY
IT IS DESERVING FOR EVERYONE TO
GO UP AND HAVE I VOTE TO BABY TO
TRY SOMETHING WE NEVER TRIED
BEFORE. DO SOMETHING. BREAK OUT
OF THE BOX, TAKE OFF THE LIMITS
AND SAVE OUR BABIES. I
RESPECTFULLY ASKED FOR A STRONG
I VOTE. ON S J. R SEVEN. SOME
REMEMBER GABRIEL, YOU RECOGNIZED
. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MADAM
SPEAKER. I RISE IN SUPPORT OF SJ
R SEVEN. IT'S UH NEVER EASY TO
FOLLOW OUR COLLEAGUE FROM CARSON
, WHO SPEAK SO POWERFULLY AND SO
ELOQUENTLY TO THESE ISSUES, AND
IT HAS BEEN SUCH A LEADER, BUT I
DO WANT TO ASSOCIATE MYSELF WITH
SOME OF HIS COMMENTS IN
PARTICULAR, THANKING OUR
GOVERNOR FOR HIS BOLD
LEADERSHIP. THE GOVERNOR IS
RIGHT. WE DO NEED AN ALL OF THE
ABOVE APPROACH HERE TO THE ISSUE
OF GUN VIOLENCE. THIS IS AS WE
HAVE REFLECTED MANY TIMES ON THE
FLOOR, THE LEADING CAUSE OF
DEATH OF CHILDREN IN THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA. LET ME SAY
THAT AGAIN. GUNS ARE THE LEADING
CAUSE OF DEATH OF CHILDREN, THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. IT IS
NOT CANCER. IT IS NOT CAR
ACCIDENTS. IT'S NOT FENTANYL. IT
IS GUNS, AND IT IS NOT ALWAYS
BEEN THAT WAY. AND IT IS A
UNIQUELY AMERICAN PHENOMENON. WE
HEAR ALL OF THESE EXCUSES THAT
THEY IT'S MENTAL HEALTH. IT'S
VIOLENT VIDEO GAMES. IT'S ALL OF
THESE OTHER THINGS. SURE THOSE
ARE THINGS THAT WE SHOULD THINK
ABOUT. BUT ALL OF THOSE THINGS
EXIST IN OTHER COUNTRIES. THEY
HAVE POVERTY AND OTHER
COUNTRIES. THEY HAVE CHALLENGES
OF MENTAL HEALTH AND OTHER
COUNTRIES. THEY HAVE VIOLENT
VIDEO GAMES AND OTHER COUNTRIES.
WHAT THEY DO NOT HAVE IS
CHILDREN BEING SLAUGHTERED IN
SCHOOLS WITH WEAPONS OF WAR.
WHAT THEY DO NOT HAVE IS YOUNG
PEOPLE AND BEING SLAUGHTERED IN
HOUSES OF WORSHIP IN MOVIE
THEATERS IN PLACES WHERE THEY GO
TO CONGREGATE. THIS IS A
UNIQUELY AMERICAN PHENOMENON,
AND WE NEED TO DO MORE TO
ADDRESS IT. AND CALIFORNIA UNDER
THIS GOVERNOR'S LEADERSHIP HAS
BEEN ON THE FOREFRONT OF THAT.
WE HAVE WORKED HARD TO PUSH
COMMON SENSE GUN SAFETY LAWS. WE
NEED TO DO MORE OF THAT. WE ARE
SENDING A VERY GOOD PACKAGE OF
LAWS TO THE GOVERNOR'S DESK. BUT
WE WILL CONTINUE TO THINK ABOUT
ALL OF THE APPROACHES THAT WE
CAN DO THIS AND THIS IS AN
IMPORTANT PART OF THE PUZZLE WE
NEED IN ALL OF THE ABOVE
APPROACH, SO I WANT TO THANK MY
COLLEAGUES FOR BRINGING FORWARD
THIS THIS MEASURE. I WANT TO
THANK OUR GOVERNOR FOR HIS BOLD
LEADERSHIP. IF YOU CARE ABOUT
THE SAFETY OF YOUR KIDS, IF YOU
CARE ABOUT THE SAFETY OF YOUR
COMMUNITIES I STRONGLY REQUEST
IN. I VOTE ON SJ R SEVEN.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S TING YOU
RECOGNIZED THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER. AH I FIRST CAME TO THIS
BODY. AND WAS SWORN IN IN 2012.
AND RIGHT BEFORE I GOT SWORN IN.
THERE WAS A HORRIFIC SHOOTING AT
AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN
CONNECTICUT CALLED SANDY HOOK.
AND I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT
WHEN I CAME HERE 10 YEARS AGO.
THAT THAT WAS GOING TO BE THE
WORST SHOOTING THAT WE COULD
EVER EXPERIENCE WE COULD THINK
ABOUT. BECAUSE WHAT WHAT DOES IT
TAKE FOR OUR COUNTRY? TO NOT
SECURE OUR SCHOOLS THAT AS A
PARENT AT THAT POINT. MY
YOUNGEST MY MAGAZINES IN
PRESCHOOL, MY OLDEST IN
KINDERGARTEN. AND THAT WE HAVE
TO WORRY ABOUT THE SAFETY OF OUR
CHILDREN. WHEN WE GO TO SCHOOLS.
WE HAVE SOME OF THE SAFEST. GUN
LAWS HERE IN CALIFORNIA, AND
IT'S WORKING. WE HAVE SOME OF
THE LOWEST INCIDENTS PER CAPITA
OF GUN VIOLENCE IN THE ENTIRE
COUNTRY, BUT WE CAN'T DO IT
ALONE. THAT'S WHAT THIS HAS JR
IS ABOUT. IT'S CALLING ON THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO WORK WITH
US. Tð MAKE SURE THAT WHAT'S
HAPPENING IN CALIFORNIA CAN
ACTUALLY HAPPENED. IN OTHER
PARTS OF THE COUNTRY. THERE'S A
BAND AT THE NIH THAT THEY CANNOT
DO ANY RESEARCH ON GUN VIOLENCE
. THAT'S WHY CALIFORNIA FUNDS U.
C. DAVIS TO DO GUN VIOLENCE
RESEARCH. THEY DO SOME OF THE
ONLY GUN VIOLENCE RESEARCH IN
THE ENTIRE COUNTRY. IN THE
ENTIRE COUNTRY BECAUSE IT'S
BANNED AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL.
BECAUSE WE CAN'T TALK ABOUT IT.
BECAUSE THE NRA HAS CONGRESS
COMPLETELY LOCKED DOWN. WE CAN
TALK ABOUT SAFE STORES. THAT'S
ONE OF THE FIRST BILLS THAT I
DID SAFE STORAGE WHEN WE GO WHEN
WE WENT THROUGH THE LEGISLATION
HERE IN THIS BODY. IT WAS
CONTROVERSIAL STATE STORES TO
MAKE SURE GUNS ARE SAFELY
STORED, ESPECIALLY AROUND
CHILDREN. GIVING A GUN TO A
CHILD. IS DANGEROUS. WHY BECAUSE
THE CHILD DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO
DO WITH IT. SO IF YOU LAY A GUN
OUT IN THE CHILD TAKES IT TAKES
IT TO SCHOOL. DOES SOMETHING
STUPID? IT'S NOT BECAUSE THE
CHILD WAS IRRESPONSIBLE BECAUSE
THE PERSON WHO LAY THE GUN DOWN
AS IRRESPONSIBLE. WHEN I
CHAMPION GUN VIOLENCE,
RESTRAINING ORDERS. YOU KNOW ALL
I HEARD FROM THE NRA BECAUSE
AGAIN WITH ALL RESPECT MY
COLLEAGUE FROM LANCASTER AND I
REALLY DO RESPECT HIS OPINION
ABOUT THIS. THEY ALWAYS TALK TO
PEOPLE ALWAYS TALK ABOUT. LET'S
GET THE GUNS OUT OF THE HANDS OF
THE WRONG PEOPLE. WELL, THAT'S
WHAT GUN VIOLENCE. RESTRAINING
ORDERS ARE. RED FLAG LOSS,
GETTING THE GUNS OUT OF THE
HANDS OF THE WRONG PEOPLE. BUT
AGAIN, WE HAD THE DEBATE ON THIS
FLOOR WHEN WE HAD THE DEBATE
GOING THROUGH EACH OF THE
COMMITTEE'S YOU DIDN'T SEE THE N
R A AND THE GUN LOBBY EMBRACED
THAT BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THEY
ALWAYS TALK ABOUT. NO, THEY
OPPOSE IT. BECAUSE IT'S ALWAYS
SOMETHING WRONG WITH EVERY
SINGLE PIECE OF LEGISLATION THAT
WE DO. THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING
WRONG. BECAUSE THERE'S NO
LEADERSHIP FROM THAT SIDE OF THE
AISLE. THERE'S NO LEADERSHIP
ABOUT SOLUTIONS. BECAUSE WHY?
BECAUSE THEY WANT TO SELL YOU
GUNS. THEY WANT ALL OF US TO BUY
GUNS. THAT'S THE SOLUTION. THAT
IS THE SOLUTION. IT'S NOT ABOUT
MAKING SURE THAT THE RIGHT FOLKS
HAVE GONE TO A RESPONSIBLE. IT'S
NOT ABOUT MAKING SURE THE WRONG
PEOPLE DON'T HAVE GUNS. IT'S
ABOUT MAKING MONEY. SO AGAIN, WE
CANNOT DO IT ALONE. THAT'S WHAT
THIS CRITICAL RESOLUTIONS
ABSOLUTELY ABOUT. WE NEED TO
MAKE SURE THAT OTHER STATES JOIN
US. SO WE HAVE A FEDERAL
SOLUTION. SO THAT OTHER
INDUSTRIAL COUNTRIES THAT HAVE
ALREADY TAKEN THIS ISSUE ON IN
OUR SUCCEEDING WHETHER YOU'RE IN
GERMANY OR JAPAN OR ENGLAND.
THAT WE HAVE A NATIONAL SOLUTION
. WE DON'T HAVE THE STATE
SOLUTION. WE HAVE A NATURAL
SOLUTION. IT'S NOT REALLY
APPLAUD. OUR SENATOR FROM THE
EAST BAY FOR BRINGING THIS
FORWARD OUR PUBLIC SAFETY CHAIR
HERE IN THIS BODY FOR BRINGING
THIS FORWARD RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR I VOTE ON SJ R SEVEN. SAYING
NO FURTHER DISCUSSION AND DEBATE
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S JOHN SAWYER,
WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE? THANK
YOU AND I TRULY AND GRATEFUL FOR
ALL COMMENTS. I THINK IN MANY
WAYS WE ALL ARE ON THE SAME PAGE
TO ENSURE THAT WE PROVIDE A SAFE
PLACE FOR EVERYONE WHEN IT COMES
TO GUNS. A FEW WEEKS AGO, THREE
BLACK MEN WERE SHOT AND KILLED
IN JACKSON, PHIL, FLORIDA. THE
21 YEAR OLD WHITE GUNMAN. HAD
POSTED RACIST WRITINGS ONLINE.
HAD BEEN INVOLVED IN A DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE INCIDENT THAT RESULTED
IN A 911 CALL. AND HAD
PREVIOUSLY BEEN BEEN PLACED ON A
72 HOUR HOLD FOR MENTAL ILLNESS.
YET HE STILL WAS ABLE TO
PURCHASE IS ASSAULT WEAPON.
EMBLAZONED WITH A SWASTIKA. ALL.
COMPLETELY LEGAL. THIS IS A
LEGAL. NONCRIMINAL INDIVIDUAL
ABLE TO GET A WEAPON. BUT
BECAUSE THERE WERE NO LAWS AND
PLACE TO KIND OF HAVE CHECKS AND
BALANCES. SO THAT WE COULD HAVE
A SAY IN THE SECOND AMENDMENT, A
WELL REGULATED WELL REGULATED. S
J. R WILL STRENGTHEN THE SECOND
AMENDMENT AND THEN SURE, PEOPLE
ARE SAFE IN EVERY COMMUNITY IN
AMERICA THIS BOWL, BUT FAIR
RESOLUTION CALLS ON OTHER STATES
TO JOIN US AND PROTECTING SOME
OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAYS OF
REDUCING GUN VIOLENCE. WHAT DO
WE LOOK AT ALL THE PIVOTAL
MOMENTS IN OUR COUNTRY, WHETHER
IT BE CIVIL RIGHTS FOR AFRICAN
AMERICANS WHAT IT'D BE VOTING
RIGHTS FOR WOMEN, WHETHER IT BE
MARRIAGE RIGHTS FOR LGBT Q. PLUS
AN INTERRACIAL COUPLES. THERE
WERE PEOPLE WHO SAID EACH WOULD
NEVER HAPPEN. NOT ONLY DID WE
IGNITE EACH CONVERSATION, BUT WE
DID SO BY HAVING THE PEOPLE THE
PEOPLE DRIVE THE CONVERSATION IN
A CONSTRUCTIVE WAY. AND
ULTIMATELY, WE ACHIEVED THIS
HISTORIC FEATS. WITH THE SUPPORT
OF THE PEOPLE ACROSS ALL
POLITICAL IDEOLOGIES WHO
OVERWHELMINGLY SUPPORT THESE
MEASURES AGAIN. WE CAN AND WILL
GET THIS DONE. WE LEGISLATE
BECAUSE WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT
NOW? AND RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A
SERIOUS GUN VIOLENCE PROBLEM IN
AMERICA. THAT IS WHY I'M PROUD
TO JOIN MY COLLEAGUE, SENATOR
WAHABI. AND WE REALLY NEED TO
THANK OUR GOVERNOR. AND

ESTABLISHES THE IMPERIAL VALLEY
HEALTHCARE DISTRICT IN THE
COUNTY OF IMPERIAL THE PURPOSE
OF THIS DISTRICT IS TO
CONSOLIDATE AND COORDINATE
MEDICAL SERVICES TO IMPROVE
HEALTHCARE ACCESS AND COST
SAVING BENEFITS FOR RURAL AND
MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED
COMMUNITIES. ACCESS TO
HEALTHCARE AND IMPERIAL COUNTY
IS AT SERIOUS RISK. THE ONLY TWO
EXISTING HOSPITALS THAT SERVE
THE COUNTY HAVE SEVERE FINANCIAL
DEBT AND OBLIGATIONS FOR THE
FUTURE THAT WE DO NOT SEE A
CLEAR PATHWAY TO SOLVENCY. AT
THE SAME TIME, THE BILL WOULD
HELP ENSURE THAT BOTH HOSPITALS
NOT ONLY KEEP THEIR DOORS AND
LIGHTS OPEN BUT WILL BE
PROVIDING THE RESIDENTS OF AN
IMPERIAL COUNTY STABILITY WHEN
IT COMES TO THE HEALTH CARE
ISSUES IN THE REGION. REMEMBER I
WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU THAT THIS
BILL HAS BEEN ONE OF THE BILLS
THAT I HAVE SPENT THE MOST TIME
WORKING ON AS IT RELATES TO WHAT
WE'VE ALL TAKEN AN OATH FOR
WHICH IS PROTECTING THE HEALTH
AND WELL BEING OF OUR
COMMUNITIES. THIS BILL RECEIVED
40 VOTES IN THE SENATE. AND THE
LAST TIME THREE QUARTERS OF THE
BOARD LIT UP HERE. AND YET WE
STILL HAVE MEMBERS OF OUR
COMMUNITY IN MY DISTRICT WHO
DOUBT THAT OUR INTERVENTION DUE
TO THEIR LACK OF ACTION. THEIR
INACTION AND THEIR FAILURE FOUR
TIMES TO MERGE AND CONSOLIDATE
THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM IN THE
BEST INTERESTS OF OUR COMMUNITY
THAT SACRAMENTO'S INTERVENTION
SHOULD NOT BE TAKING PLACE. BUT
MEMBERS YOU ALL KNOW THAT WHEN
THESE ISSUES PERCOLATE, AND THEY
RISE TO THE LEVEL OF SACRAMENTO
THAT WE HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO
TAKE THIS ACTION AND SO I HOPE
THAT YOU CAN STAND WITH ME TO
IMPROVE THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF
HEALTH CARE IN OUR DISTRICT BUT
ALSO TO SEND A STRONG MESSAGE TO
THOSE FEW FOLKS WHO ARE HAVING A
LITTLE BIT OF HEARTBURN THAT
SACRAMENTO'S INTERVENING THIS
STRONG MESSAGE THAT YOU WILL
HELP ME SEND TO THEM IS TO LET
THEM KNOW THAT THEIR INACTION IS
WHAT HAS US HERE TONIGHT. TAKING
THIS VERY CRUCIAL ACTION, AND I

TO RESOLVE EMPLOYER COMMUNITY
CONCERNS AROUND THE CONTENT OF A
B 257 FROM 2022 WHILE PRESERVING
FAST FOOD WORKERS HARD FOUGHT
EFFORTS TO SECURE A SEAT AT THE
TABLE. AND IT MEANS TO RAISE
STANDARDS. THE JOINT LIABILITY
PROVISIONS OF HB 12 28 WILL BE
REPLACED WITH AN UPDATED VERSION
OF A B 257 FAST FOOD COUNCIL
THAT WILL GO INTO EFFECT
PROVIDING THE REFERENDUM IS
WITHDRAWN BY JANUARY. 1ST OF
2024. A B 12 28 IS A HISTORIC
BILL THAT CREATES A $20 AN HOUR
MINIMUM WAGE FOR OVER 600,000
FAST FOOD WORKERS ACROSS THE
STATE. THE INCREASE TAKES EFFECT
IN APRIL OF NEXT YEAR.
THEREAFTER THE COUNCIL MAY
ESTABLISH MINIMUM WAGES FOR FAST
FOOD RESTAURANT EMPLOYEES THAT
TAKE EFFECT ON AN ANNUAL BASIS
BEGINNING ON JANUARY. 1ST 2025
THE HOURLY MINIMUM WAGE
ESTABLISHED BY THE COUNCIL MAY
INCREASE ON AN ANNUAL BASIS BY
NO MORE THAN 3.5. THE COUNCIL
MAY BE MAY ELECT TO SET MINIMUM
WAGE STANDARDS THAT VARY BY
REGION. MAYBE 12 28, AS AMENDED
, AFFIRMS THAT THE PURPOSE OF
THE FAST FOOD COUNCIL IS TO
DEVELOP MINIMUM FAST FOOD
RESTAURANT EMPLOYMENT STANDARDS
, INCLUDING AN APPROPRIATE
STANDARDS ON WAGES AND WORKING
CONDITIONS. THE BILL ENSURES
THAT THERE IS EQUAL
REPRESENTATION ON THE COUNCIL
BETWEEN THE FAST FOOD RESTAURANT
INDUSTRY. THE FRANCHISEES AND
THE REST OF THE WHERE THE
RESTAURANT OWNERS AS WELL AS THE
FAST FOOD EMPLOYEES AND EMPLOYEE
ADVOCATES. FINALLY, A B 12 28.
INDICATES THAT THE COUNCIL DOES
NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO CREATE
OR AMEND STATUTES, WHICH IS THE
SAME AS A B 257 AND THE COUNCIL
CANNOT SET REGULATIONS CREATING
NEW PAID TIME OFF BENEFITS, SUCH
AS PAID SICK, LEAVE OR PAID
VACATIONS OR PREDICTABLE
SCHEDULING. I'D LIKE TO THANK
THE GOVERNOR. AND TOGETHER WITH
LABOR ON BEHALF OF THE
FRANCHISEE WORKERS AND THE
COALITION OF FRANCHISEE AND

CONSTITUENTS LIVING IN THE

FEW YEARS. WE ALSO KNOW THE
CONNECTION BETWEEN HOMELESSNESS

ADDITIONAL 1.5 BILLION HAS BEEN
ADDED EXCLUSIVELY FOR CITIES AND

THESE INVESTMENTS WILL GO EVEN
FURTHER WITH THE PROPOSED

APPROVAL. ON THE MARCH 5TH 2024
PRIMARY BALLOT AS A SINGLE
MEASURE DESIGNATED AS
PROPOSITION ONE. THANK YOU AND I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN I VOTE.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S SHARE OF Ó.
YOU RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU,
MADAME. SPEAKER MEMBERS. UM I
RISE AS THE CHAIR OF THE
MILITARY AND VETERANS AFFAIRS
COMMITTEE, AND I WANT TO SUPPORT
THIS BILL AND ALSO THANK THE
AUTHOR FROM MY COLLEAGUE FROM
1000 OAKS FOR HER WORK FOR YEARS
TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. SHE HAS
BEEN WORKING SO HARD TO MAINTAIN
FUNDING FOR HOMELESSNESS
PREVENTION PROGRAMS AND
SPECIFICALLY FOR VETERANS. UM I
ACTUALLY CO FOUNDED AN
ORGANIZATION ON HOMELESSNESS AND
WE WOULD DO WE DO REGULAR
OUTREACH EVERY WEEK AND WHEN I
WAS DOING OUTREACH ONE WEEK ON
MY ROUTE, IT WAS FOURTH OF JULY
AND I ENCOUNTERED A VETERAN IN
THE PARK WHO HAD JUST LOST HIS
HOUSING JUST BECOME HOMELESS ON
JULY 4TH. THIS SHOULD NOT BE
HAPPENING IN OUR STATE. I KNOW
THAT WE HAVE DONE SO MUCH AS A
STATE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE
ADDRESSING HOMELESSNESS AND
HOMELESSNESS AMONG VETERANS HAS
ACTUALLY BEEN DROPPING SINCE
2014 AND IT'S BECAUSE OF THE
INVESTMENTS THAT WE HAVE BEEN
MAKING AS A STATE. AND SO WE
KNOW THAT THE VETERANS HOUSING
AND HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION
PROGRAM HAS BUILT THOUSANDS OF
UNITS OF VETERAN HOUSING FOR
THEIR FAMILIES SINCE ITS PASSAGE
IN 2014, AND THERE'S A GOOD
CHANCE THAT THEY'RE VHP FUNDED
UNITS IN YOUR DISTRICT
HOMELESSNESS AMONG CALIFORNIA
VETERANS HAS FALLEN, BUT WE KNOW
THAT THE PROGRAM STARTED WITH
$650 MILLION AND THE FINAL ROUND
OF GRANT AWARDS JUST HAPPENED
AND ARE NOW PENDING AND IT'S
ABOUT TO RUN OUT OF MONEY. SO
THIS IS CRITICAL FUNDING THAT WE
NEED OVER A BILLION DOLLARS THAT
IS GOING TO GO TO VETERANS WHO
ARE HOMELESS AT RISK OF
HOMELESSNESS OR SUFFER FROM
MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE
ABUSE DISORDERS. I KNOW THE
AUTHOR WORKED REALLY CLOSELY AND
TIRELESSLY OVER THE SUMMER WITH
THE ADMINISTRATION, H C D AND
CAL VET AS WELL AS THE HOUSING
AND VETERANS AFFAIRS COMMITTEE.
I'M CONFIDENT THAT THIS BILL
WILL MAKE A PROFOUND DIFFERENCE
IN THE LIFE OF THOSE MOST IN
NEED AND RESPECTFULLY. I ASK FOR
YOUR VOTE. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
GALLAGHER YOU RECOGNIZED? YES.
THANK YOU, MADAM SPEAKER AND
MEMBERS. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE
MAKE INVESTMENTS IN MENTAL
HEALTH FACILITIES AND BEDS. THAT
IS CERTAINLY A KEY THING THAT WE
SHOULD HAVE BEEN WORKING ON FOR
QUITE SOME TIME. UM. I'M PRETTY
TORN ON THIS BECAUSE YES,
CERTAINLY WANT TO SEE THAT
INVESTMENT, BUT WE ALSO LAST
YEAR HAD $100 BILLION SURPLUS.
$100 BILLION. DO WE PUT ANY OF
THAT INTO MENTAL HEALTH
FACILITIES. IT WOULD SEEM THAT
IF THAT WAS A PRIORITY, WE WOULD
HAVE DONE THAT. AND WE DID. AND
AS I SAID EARLIER, WHEN WE WERE
TALKING ABOUT A C A 13 AND A C A
ONE. THE PROBLEM IS NOT MONEY.
THE PROBLEM IS HOW WE SPEND IT.
AND THE PROBLEM IS WHAT WE'RE
GETTING OUT OF THE MONEY THAT IS
BEING SPENT. AND UNTIL WE REALLY
FACE THAT REALITY I THINK WE'RE
JUST GOING TO HAVE MORE OF THE
SAME. THE OTHER PROBLEM, AS I
SAID BEFORE. IS THE VOTERS DON'T
TRUST YOU. WE PASSED A BOND, A
WATER BOND. IN 2014. THEY WERE
SUPPOSED TO BUILD ALL THIS NEW
WATER STORAGE, NOT ONE. PROJECT.
NEW WATER STORAGE PROJECT HAS
BEEN BUILT. NOT ONE. WE HAVEN'T
EVEN BROKEN GROUND. SITES
RESERVOIR STILL STALLED. IN THE
BUREAUCRACY. SO TRYING TO SAY
THAT THIS BOND IS GOING TO SOLVE
THAT ISSUE. IS GOING TO GET THAT
DONE AND PATTING OURSELVES ON
THE BACK LIKE I'VE SEEN US DO SO
MANY TIMES BEFORE. ON THIS FLOOR
ON THE LAST NIGHT. SAYING YOU
SOLVED HOMELESSNESS. YOU SOLVED
HOUSING. YOU HAVEN'T. AND IF THE
PAST IS ANY INDICATOR, THIS BOMB
WON'T DO IT EITHER. ALL IT WILL
DO IS IN DEBT. US MORE. IN A
STATE WHERE WE ALREADY HAVE TOO
MUCH DEBT. SO AS THE GOAL
LAUDABLE, YES, BUT THE
IMPLEMENTATION IS TERRIBLE.
THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF THINGS
ADDED LAST MINUTE HERE THAT I
THINK ARE VERY QUESTIONABLE AS
WELL. AND DOING THIS AT THE 11TH
HOUR. I'VE ALWAYS SAID IN THE
LAST NIGHT OF SESSION, ANYTHING
PAST EIGHT O'CLOCK IS PROBABLY
NOT GOOD. YEAH. HERE WE ARE. SO
IT'S AH. I AM TORN ON THIS, AND
I THINK IT JUST HAS TO BE SAID
PEOPLE DON'T TRUST THAT THIS
MONEY IS GOING TO GET SPENT THE
WAY IT SHOULD. WE ALL AGREE THAT
WE NEED MORE MENTAL HEALTH BEDS.
BUT WE PROBABLY COULD HAVE DONE
THAT WITH THE MONEY THAT WE HAD
LAST YEAR. AND I'M JUST REALLY
NOT SURE. IF I CAN SUPPORT THIS
TONIGHT, THANK YOU. SEEING NO
FURTHER DISCUSSION OR THE BIG I
STILL REMEMBER IRWIN. WOULD YOU
LIKE TO CLOSE? I CERTAINLY WOULD
LIKE TO CLOSE THERE HAS BEEN A
SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT IN
HOMELESSNESS OVER THE LAST FEW
YEARS, AND THIS BOND IS A BOND
IS EXACTLY THE TYPE OF VEHICLE
YOU WOULD LIKE TO USE FOR
INFRASTRUCTURE. THIS IS ALSO A
BOND THAT HAS IS USING CURRENT
PROGRAMS THAT HAVE BEEN VERY
SUCCESSFUL. THE BEACH BEACH, IT
PROGRAM, THE HOME KEY PROGRAM
AND THE VHP PROGRAM, AND I THINK
THAT REALLY INCREASES OUR CHANCE
OF SUCCESS. NOBODY HERE SAID. WE
ARE GOING TO SOLVE HOMELESSNESS.
BUT WE NEED TO MAKE A VERY GOOD
FAITH EFFORT. WE MADE VERY BAD
DECISIONS 50 YEARS AGO AND ALONG
THE WAY TO PUT US IN THE
SITUATION THAT WE'RE IN, AND IT
IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE TO DO
NOTHING THIS EVENING, SO I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR I
VOTE. SEE NO FURTHER DISCUSSION
CLERK WILL OPEN THE ROLE. WE
DECIDED TO VOTE ALL THOSE VOTES
WHO DESIRED ABOUT MEMBERS. THIS
IS A 54 VOTE BILL. CLERK WILL
CLOSE THE ROLE. I 63 NO. SEVEN.
SENATOR MENS ARE CONCURRED IN.
WITHOUT OBJECTION, WE WILL
RETURN TO MOTIONS AND
RESOLUTIONS TO ALLOW THE
MAJORITY LEADER TO MAKE EMOTION.

ACCOLADES AND NATIVE AMERICAN
ASSOCIATION ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
RAMOS YOU RECOGNIZED THANK YOU,
MADAM SPEAKER TODAY I PRESENT A
B 3 89 A BILL THAT WOULD HOLD
THE CAL STATE UNIVERSITIES
ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR FAILURES
TO REPATRIATE NATIVE AMERICAN
REMAINS. BUT LET ME EXPLAIN HOW
THIS ALL STARTED WITH THE AUDIT
THAT WAS COMPLETED. IT STARTED
WITH A SAN JOSE PROFESSOR. THERE
WAS HOLDING THE SKULL OF NATIVE
AMERICAN ANCESTORS IN HER HANDS.
AND KEPT SAYING THAT IT WAS GOOD
TO BE BACK AMONGST OLD FRIENDS
AS A PROFESSOR HOLDING OUR
NATIVE AMERICAN REMAINS. THAT IS
SOMETHING THAT'S DEPLORABLE, AND
WE SHOULD NOT STAND FOR HERE IN
2023. THAT LED TO AN AUDIT
REQUEST IN 2022, AND THE AUDIT
WAS COMPLETED IN JUNE. 2023
WHICH IDENTIFIED BLATANT
DISRESPECT FOR THE REPATRIATION
PROCESS BY THE CALIFORNIA STATE
UNIVERSITY SYSTEM. THAT
IDENTIFIED OVER 700,000 NATIVE
AMERICAN REMAINS THAT STILL HAVE
NOT BEEN REPATRIATED BACK TO
CALIFORNIA'S FIRST PEOPLE, EVEN
THOUGH A LAW IN 1995 CALLED FOR
UNIVERSITIES AND CAL STATE
UNIVERSITIES TO MOVE FORWARD IN
THAT AREA OVER 30 YEARS AND
NOTHING HAS BEEN MOVED FORWARD.
AS A MATTER OF FACT, THE AUDIT
IDENTIFIED THAT ONLY 6% OF THOSE
REMAINS WERE REPATRIATED BACK.
THIS BILL 83 89 WILL START TO
HOLD THE CALIFORNIA STATE
UNIVERSITIES ACCOUNTABLE.
FOLLOWING THE RESULTS OF THE
AUDIT. THE BILL WOULD ALSO
PROHIBIT PROHIBIT THE CAL STATE
UNIVERSITY SYSTEM TO USE NATIVE
AMERICAN REMAINS OR CULTURAL
ITEMS FOR THE PURPOSES OF
TEACHING. WE HAVE TO COME
TOGETHER AS A STATE OF
CALIFORNIA AND STAND TOGETHER
WITH CALIFORNIA'S FIRST PEOPLE
TO SAY THAT HOLDING THE SCARS
AND THE BONES OF OUR PEOPLE IS
NOT ACCEPTABLE ANYMORE IN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA. IT IS TIME
FOR THE STATE TO STAND SIDE BY
SIDE WITH CALIFORNIA'S FIRST
PEOPLE TO BRING OUR PEOPLE BACK
HOME FOR A PROPER REBURIAL. THIS
IS WHAT A B 3 89 STANDS FOR. AND
I ASKED FOR EACH AND EVERY ONE
OF YOUR SUPPORT AND STANDING
WITH CALIFORNIA'S FIRST PEOPLE.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S GARCIA, YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER AND COLLEAGUES. I DON'T
KNOW THAT I COULD SAY IT MORE
CLEAR THAN THAT. BUT I DO WANT
TO STAND WITH OUR COLLEAGUE IN
SOLIDARITY AND TO ALL OF THE
FIRST PEOPLES OF CALIFORNIA WHO
HAVE HAD TO ENDURE. THIS
SHAMEFUL PRACTICE. THAT WAS
ALLOWED AT ONE POINT IN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA, AND THAT
REMAINS UH, NOT A TOP PRIORITY
FOR OUR UNIVERSITY SYSTEMS. TO
ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. THIS AUDIT
WAS, I THINK AN EMBARRASSMENT.
FOR THE ENTIRE CAL STATE SYSTEM.
WHO HAS BEEN TOLD TIME AND TIME
AGAIN. THAT THE PRACTICES AND
THE POLICIES OF RETAINING NOT
JUST ARTIFACTS, BUT THE REMAINS.
BUT THE FIRST PEOPLE'S ANCESTORS
FOR PURPOSES OF STUDYING AND
DEMONSTRATION IS A PRACTICE THAT
NO LONGER AND THAT SHOULD HAVE
NEVER EXISTED. IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. I WANT TO JUST
SUPPORT THE WORK THAT OUR
COLLEAGUE IS DOING. THE JOINT
AUDIT COMMITTEE WHO SHED LIGHT
ON THIS ISSUE AND OUR LEADERSHIP
IN BOTH HOUSES THAT ALLOWED FOR
THIS ISSUE TO MOVE AS QUICKLY AS
IT HAS THE AUDIT TOOK PLACE
SEVERAL WEEKS AGO, OR AT LEAST
THE DISPLAY OF IT. AND THE
ACTION THAT'S TAKING PLACE TODAY
. COMMEND THE AUTHOR AND REALLY
RESPECT THE WORK THAT HE'S DOING
ON BEHALF OF THE FIRST PEOPLES
OF CALIFORNIA AND RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR MY VOTE.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S. MATHIS. EXCUSE
ME. I DIDN'T SEE YOU THERE.
THANK YOU. MADAME SPEAKER
MEMBERS ARE, THE AUTHOR SAID IT
PROBABLY BETTER THAN ANY OF US.
I THINK I DEFINITELY AGREE WITH
THAT WHAT THIS AUDIT SHOWED. IS
THE MASSIVE DISRESPECT TO OUR
INDIGENOUS PEOPLE. BONES AND
BOXES. OF ANCESTORS. IMAGINE IF
THAT WAS YOUR FAMILY. YOUR
GRANDPARENTS. THIS BILL IS ABOUT
MAKING SURE. THAT THE HONOR AND
THE RESPECT IS GIVEN. THE AUTHOR
IS DONE THIS AT AN EXTREME RATE.
TO GET THIS DONE. I APPRECIATE
EVERYBODY THAT HELPED THAT
HAPPENED. I KNOW. MY FAMILY AT
THE TOOLEY RIVER. TRIBE IS
DEFINITELY APPRECIATIVE AND THE
OTHER TRIBE. SANTA ROSA TACHI
YOKA. PEOPLE ARE EXTREMELY
APPRECIATIVE IN MY DISTRICT. WE
HAVE TO DO MORE. WE HAVE TO BE
ACCOUNTABLE AS GOVERNMENT. TO
RIGHT THESE WRONGS. THIS IS
DEFINITELY A SMALL STEP. A STEP
THAT SHOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN
DONE. YEARS AND YEARS AGO. SO
AGAIN, I THINK THE AUTHOR, I
THINK ALL OF YOU FOR JOINING US
IN THIS EFFORT TO RIGHT THIS
WRONG. SEEING NO OTHER DEBATE OR
DISCUSSION. WOULD YOU LIKE TO
CLOSE? THANK YOU, MADAM SPEAKER
AND COLLEAGUES WHO SPOKE AND TO

THANK YOU, MADAME SPEAKER
MEMBERS. I'M PRESENTING A B 1 26
BILL, WHICH WILL REAUTHORIZE AND
MODERNIZE THE CLEAN
TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM AT THE
CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION,
THE AIR QUALITY IMPROVEMENT
PROGRAM AT THE CALIFORNIA AIR
RESOURCES BOARD AND THE ENHANCED
FLEET MODERNIZATION PROGRAM AT
THE BUREAU OF AUTOMATIC MOTIVE
REPAIR. THESE PROGRAMS ARE SOME
OF THE OLDEST CLEAN
TRANSPORTATION PROGRAMS IN
STATUTE AND THE FEES THAT FUND
THESE PROGRAMS ARE SET TO EXPIRE
AT THE END OF THIS YEAR. THE
SMOG ABATEMENT. VEHICLE
REGISTRATION AND LEGAL
IDENTIFICATION FEES THAT HAVE
BEEN IN PLACE SINCE 2007. MAYBE
1 26 CONTINUES THIS INVESTMENT
BY SECURING OVER $2 BILLION IN
FUNDING TO HELP TRANSITION THE
TRANSPORTATION SECTOR TOWARD
CLEANER VEHICLES, INFRASTRUCTURE
AND THE MOBILITY OPTIONS BY
RIYADH REAUTHORIZING THESE FEES
UNTIL 2035 THE BILL DOES NOT
INCREASE THE COST CONSUMED,
CONSUMERS WILL PAY. IT'S SIMPLY
EXTENDS AN EXISTING SUNSET DATE.
I DO WANT TO THANK THIS IS THE
FINAL AGREEMENT. THAT I HAVE FOR
YOU TODAY IS BETWEEN THE
ASSEMBLY SENATE AND THE
GOVERNOR'S OFFICE. MANY OF YOU
HAD CONCERNS REGARDING THE LAST
ITERATION OF THIS EXTENSION IN A
B 2 41, AND WE WORKED HARD OVER
THE LAST FEW MONTHS TO ADDRESS
THESE CONCERNS. ISSUES REGARDING
ACCOUNTABILITY, TRANSPARENCY,
GOVERNMENT OVERSIGHT AND
CREATING A FAIR PLAYING FIELD
FOR ALL TECHNOLOGIES WERE ALL
BROUGHT UP AND ADDRESSED IN THE
FOLLOWING WAYS. TODAY. THIS BILL
REQUIRES A 15% OF THE CLEAN
TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM. FUNDS
ARE ALLOCATED ANNUALLY TO
HYDROGEN REFUELING
INFRASTRUCTURE UNTIL 2030
ESTABLISHES A PREFERENCE FOR
CLEAN HYDROGEN. THAT IS THE
LEAST CARBON INTENSIVE AND IS
CONSISTENT WITH A CLEAN HYDROGEN
FEDERAL TAX CREDIT. ENSURES THAT
GRANTS THROUGH THIS PROGRAM ARE
RELEASED AT LEAST 90 DAYS AFTER
THE START OF THE FISCAL YEAR AND
INCLUDES ACCOUNTABILITY MEASURES
ON BOTH HYDROGEN AND E V.
CHARGING STATIONS THAT REQUIRE
DATA TO BE REPORTED TO THE
CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION TO
MONITOR THE RELIABILITY OF THE
STATIONS. WITH THIS FINAL
AGREEMENT, MAYBE 1 26 STRIKES A
BALANCE BETWEEN EMERGING
TECHNOLOGIES AND FREE MARKET
PRINCIPLES THAT ARE DICTATING
OUR CLEAN TRANSPORTATION FUTURE.
THIS BILL IS SUPPORTED BY
COALITION OF ENVIRONMENTAL
JUSTICE GROUPS. VEHICLE
MANUFACTURERS, EVIE CHARGING
STATION PROVIDERS. PUBLIC HEALTH
ADVOCATES UTILITIES, CLEAN
ENERGY SUPPORTERS, CONSUMER
ADVOCATES, SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS
AND FLEET OPERATORS. A B 1 26
WILL INCENTIVIZE DEPLOYMENT OF
ZERO EMISSION INFRASTRUCTURE FOR
BOTH BATTERY, ELECTRIC AND FUEL
CELL VEHICLES IN THE LIGHT,
MEDIUM AND HEAVY DUTY VEHICLE
SECTORS WILL PROVIDE LOW INCOME
CONSUMERS WITH INCENTIVES TO
REPLACE THEIR OLDER POLLUTING
VEHICLES OR PROVIDE CLEAN
MOBILITY OPTIONS. AND IT WILL
REDUCE POLITICS POLLUTANTS IN
AREAS OF THE STATE WITH THE
WORST AIR QUALITY AND ENSURE
THAT FUNDING IS PRIORITIZED AND
COMMUNITIES THAT NEED IT. THE
MOST. I WANT TO THANK SPEAKER
RIVAS AND HIS STAFF. ESPECIALLY
CHASE FOR FACILITATING
NEGOTIATIONS AND HELPING ADDRESS
OUTSTANDING ISSUES. I WOULD ALSO
LIKE TO THANK ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
ONE CARILLO, JACKIE YEAR WHEN
JOSH LOWENTHAL AND DAVID ALVAREZ
AND ALL OF THEIR STAFF FOR THEIR
CONTRIBUTIONS TO GETTING US TO
THE POINT WHERE WE ARE TODAY.
FINALLY I WOULD LIKE TO THANK MY
PARTNER IN THIS EFFORT, SENATOR
LENA GONZALEZ FOR ALL OF HER
WORK ON THIS ISSUE ALONGSIDE ME
OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS. I'M
PROUD OF THE BILL WE HAVE BEFORE
US TODAY, AND I RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR YOUR VOTE. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
ALVAREZ. YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU. MADAM
SPEAKER. I WANT TO THANK OUR
COLLEAGUES FROM MARIA'S FOR THE
BILL. AND I ALSO WANT TO TALK
ABOUT WHAT THE SPILL SIGNIFIES
BEYOND ALL THE THINGS THAT SHE
TALKED ABOUT. WE OFTEN IN THIS
BODY. SET LOFTY GOALS. WE SET AN
AGENDA ABOUT WANTING TO REACH
CERTAIN GOALS IN THE FUTURE. BUT
OFTEN TIMES I WOULD SAY THE
MAJORITY OF TIMES WE DON'T FOCUS
ON HOW TO GET THERE. WE WANT TO
GET TO A CLEAN ENERGY FUTURE.
AND THAT REQUIRES US MAKING
INVESTMENTS IN A WAY THAT IS
THOUGHTFUL. THAT'S WHAT THIS
BILL DOES. IT RECOGNIZES THAT
ELECTRIC VEHICLES ARE A
SIGNIFICANT PART OF THE FUTURE
OF OUR CLEAN OF OUR CLEAN
TRANSPORTATION FOR THE FUTURE OF
CALIFORNIA. BUT IT ALSO
RECOGNIZED THAT A SEGMENT OF
THAT CLEAN TRANSPORTATION FUTURE
INCLUDES HYDROGEN FUELED
VEHICLES. THAT IS VERY
IMPORTANT. THAT'S WHAT THIS BILL
IS ABOUT. IT ALSO RECOGNIZES
THAT IF YOU'RE GOING TO GET
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA FOR THE
PRIVATE SECTOR TO DEVELOP
INFRASTRUCTURE THAT THAT
INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS TO WORK. IT
CAN'T JUST BE SITTING THERE IDLY
NOT PRODUCING WHAT IT IS
INTENDED TO PRODUCE WITH THESE
TAXPAYER DOLLARS. THAT'S THE
SECOND PART OF IT THE THIRD
THERE NEEDS TO BE ACCOUNTABILITY
, ACCOUNTABILITY ON THOSE
TAXPAYER DOLLARS ACCOUNTABILITY
TO THOSE WHO RECEIVE THEM AND
ACCOUNTABILITY FOR ALL OF US
THAT WE REMAIN FOCUSED ON THAT
CLEAN TRANSPORTATION FUTURE WITH
THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT EXIST
DRIVEN BY THE MARKET. I AM
REALLY PROUD OF THE WORK THAT
WAS DONE. THE EFFORT THAT WAS
PUT INTO THIS, IT COULDN'T HAVE
HAPPENED. UM, THIS IS NOW
SOUNDING LIKE A RUNNING THEME
WITHOUT THE LEADERSHIP OF OUR
SPEAKER. WHO'S DETERMINED TO
MAKING SURE THAT WE MAKE
DECISIONS BASED ONE ON DATA ON
FACTS AND AN ACCOUNTABILITY AND
TRANSPARENCY FOR THE FUTURE. I'M
PROUD TO STAND IN SUPPORT OF
THIS BILL BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT
THIS BILL IS ABOUT. IT'S ABOUT
GETTING US TO WHERE WE NEED TO
BE TO MAKE SURE WE ARE A CLEAN
CALIFORNIA INVESTING IN OTHER
WAYS THAT WE CAN GET THERE AND I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR VOTE.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S SAYING YOU
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER. I JUST WANTED TO RISE
IN SUPPORT OF MAYBE 1 26 WANT TO
THANK OUR AUTHOR AS WELL AS ALL
MY COLLEAGUES WHO REALLY SPENT
COUNTLESS HOURS NEGOTIATING THIS
AND THANK OUR SPEAKER. THANK THE
SPEAKER'S OFFICE FOR REALLY
PUTTING THIS DEAL TOGETHER. UM
THIS IS ACTUALLY A VERY, VERY
GOOD DEAL. THIS ENSURES THE
FUTURE FOR CLEAN TRANSPORTATION
ENSURES THAT WE ALSO LOOK AT
OTHER TYPES OF TECHNOLOGY,
HOPEFULLY MORE FOR FLEETS AND
LARGER, HEAVIER DUTY VEHICLES. I
THINK THAT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE
FOR THAT PARTICULAR. JUST WANT
TO THANK THE AUTHOR. THERE'S A
LETTER TO THE JOURNAL THAT SHE
PENNED JUST TO CLARIFY THERE'S A
SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE MONEY
SET ASIDE FOR DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES AND LONG TERM
COMMUNITIES. AND JUST MAKING
SURE THAT THAT DEFINITION IS AS
BROAD AS POSSIBLE SO THAT ALL OF
OUR DISADVANTAGED AND LOCAL
COMMUNITIES CAN PARTICIPATE IN
THAT AND REALLY GET THE HELP
THAT THEY NEED FOR CLEANER AIR
AND CLEANER VEHICLES TO REALLY
APPRECIATE THAT. THANK YOU.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S CREEK CARILLO.
THANK YOU, MADAM. SPEAKER AND
MEMBERS RISE IN SUPPORT OF A B 1
26. MEMBERS THIS BILL WILL
EXTEND THE CLEAN TRANSPORTATION
PROGRAM, WHICH DELIVERS ROUGHLY
$100 MILLION A YEAR TO CLEAN
TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE.
THAT WE HAVE ANY HOPE OF
REGIONAL CLIMATE GOALS. THIS
INFRASTRUCTURE IS DESPERATELY
NEEDED. ESPECIALLY THE SPANISH
COMMUNITIES, LIKE THE ONES THAT
I REPRESENT. I WOULD LIKE TO
THANK THE AUTHOR FOR A
WILLINGNESS TO WORK WITH ME ON
THIS BILL AND ALL THE OTHER
MEMBERS. IN TRANSPORTATION
COMMITTEE. I RAISED CONCERNS
ABOUT A LACK OF OPPORTUNITY FOR
HYDROGEN INFRASTRUCTURE IN EARLY
VERSION OF THE BILL. I WOULD
ALSO LIKE TO THANK MY COLLEAGUE
FROM SAN DIEGO. VENTURA. WHO
WORKED TOGETHER FOR WEEKS TO
STRIKE A BALANCE THAT YOU SEE
HERE TODAY. AND I ESPECIALLY
WANT TO THANK THE SPEAKER AND
HIS STAFF FOR THEIR TIRELESS
WORK TO HELP US FIND THE FIND
THE COMPROMISE. MEMBERS THIS WAS
A TOUGH NEGOTIATION. IN A HARD
FOUGHT COMPROMISE. OUR DISTRICT
NEEDS THIS PROGRAM TO TRANSITION
, THE CLEAN TRANSPORTATION
FUTURE. WE ALL WANT TO SEE. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR VOTE.
THANK YOU. CELLULAR ROSALIE, YOU
ARE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER. I RISE IN OPPOSITION TO
THIS BILL. I REPRESENT A
COMMUTER DISTRICT. UH, DISTRICT
IN WHICH DRIVING IS NOT A LUXURY
. IT'S A NECESSITY. PEOPLE HAVE
TO GET UP AND GO TO WORK. THE
AFFORDABILITY CRISIS IN
CALIFORNIA IS ALREADY
INTOLERABLE. AND NOW WE'RE
ADDING MORE FEES TO CAR
REGISTRATION DUES FEES, WHICH
AREN'T AVERAGE OF OVER $300 A
YEAR. FOR THE AVERAGE
CALIFORNIAN. MOST PEOPLE MY
DISTRICT ARE PAYING 5 $600 FOR
EVERY CAR EVERY YEAR. PEOPLE
CANNOT AFFORD THIS. SO I IMPLORE
MY COLLEAGUES TO STOP ADDING
EXPENSES AND FEES ON HARD
WORKING CALIFORNIANS. THEY
CANNOT AFFORD IT. THIS WILL
LIKELY PASS. VOTERS WILL HAVE A
SAY AT THE BALLOT BOX ON THIS
AND OTHER ISSUES. HOPEFULLY UM,
COMING UP SOON, IT'S GOING TO BE
A FIGHT. AGAINST THE FOUR
AGAINST CALIFORNIA BEING ON
AFFORDABLE. WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO
FIGHT, BUT WE'RE READY FOR IT.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S IRWIN, YOU WERE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER. I RISE AS A CO AUTHOR
ON A B 1 TO 6. IT IS CRITICAL
THAT WE REAUTHORIZE THE CLEAN
TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM, BUT IT
WAS EQUALLY AS IMPORTANT THAT WE
TOOK OUR TIME TO GET IT RIGHT.
LESS THAN 5% OF OUR CARS ARE
ZERO EMISSION VEHICLES AND WHILE
WE'RE MAKING GREAT PROGRESS WITH
ELECTRIC VEHICLES, I CAUTION US
AGAINST PUTTING ALL OUR EGGS IN
ONE BASKET. THIS BILL CONTINUES
TO SUPPORT LIGHT DUTY HYDROGEN
VEHICLES. THIS IS CRUCIAL
BECAUSE CARBS ESTIMATING THAT IN
ORDER TO MEET OUR CLEAN
TRANSPORTATION GOALS, WE WILL
NEED 3 MILLION LIGHT DUTY
HYDROGEN VEHICLES ON THE ROAD BY
2045. THIS BILL WILL ALSO HELP
THE PUSH TO LOW CARBON HYDROGEN
BY PRIORITIZING PROJECTS THAT
LOSE USE CLEANER SOURCES OF
HYDROGEN. FURTHER A B 1 TO 6
WILL HOLD EVIE CHARGING
COMPANIES ACCOUNTABLE FOR
CHARGERS AS AN E V DRIVER
MYSELF. I FIND IT ENDLESSLY
FRUSTRATING WHEN I PULL UP TO A
PUBLIC TV CHARGER, AND IT'S
BROKEN. THIS UNFORTUNATELY
HAPPENS REPEATEDLY ACROSS
COMPANIES, COMPANIES ACROSS
COMPANIES AND ACROSS THE STATE.
WE NEED ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THESE
CHARGING COMPANIES. THAT HAVE
AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE
RECEIVING BILLIONS OF TAX
DOLLARS FOR THEIR CHARGING
INFRASTRUCTURE. IF WE EXPECT
DRIVERS TO MAKE THE SWITCH A B 1
26 IS A MUCH NEEDED STEP IN THE
RIGHT DIRECTION AS IT EMPOWERS
THE ENERGY COMMISSION TO COLLECT
DATA FROM CHARGING COMPANIES AND
SHARE IT WITH THE PUBLIC SO
DRIVERS CAN FIND WORKING
CHARGERS. WE WON'T BE ABLE TO
ACHIEVE OUR GOALS UNLESS WE MAKE
IT EASY AS EASY TO CHARGE AS AS
IT IS TO FIND A GAS STATION. I
WANT TO THANK MY COLLEAGUE FROM
SAN BERNARDINO AND ALL MY
COLLEAGUES IN THE WORKING GROUP
AND THE SPEAKER'S OFFICE AND HIS
STAFF FOR WORKING
COLLABORATIVELY TO HELP RENEW
THIS IMPORTANT PROGRAM AND I ASK
FOR YOUR VOTE. THANK YOU. SAYING
NO FURTHER DISCUSSION OR DEBATE
ASSEMBLY MEMORIES. WOULD YOU
LIKE TO CLOSE? YES. THANK YOU,
MADAM SPEAKER. I FIND IT
INTEREST. I FIND IT INTERESTING
THAT WE SAY THAT THERE ARE
HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS BEING PAID
BY OUR CONSTITUENTS FOR THIS
FEE. I WANT YOU TO KNOW ITS $16
A YEAR. WE'VE BEEN PAYING THIS
SINCE 2007. IT WILL SIMPLY
CONTINUE CONTINUE FOR ANOTHER 10
YEARS. I WANT TO THANK ALL THE
STAKEHOLDERS WHO WORKED WITH US
ON THIS. WHO WORKED TIRELESSLY
REPRESENTING THEIR RESPECTIVE
GROUPS. UM AND FOR RECOGNIZING
THAT COMPROMISE WAS SOMETHING
THAT HAD TO BE PART OF THIS
DEAL. AND AS A POINT OF PERSONAL
PRIVILEGE, I'D LIKE TO THANK
MATT AND BRANDON FROM MY OFFICE
FOR THEIR WORK IN MAKING SURE
THAT WE TOOK CARE OF THIS. WHEN
WE TALK ABOUT ACCOUNTABILITY,
IT'S ACCOUNTABILITY, NOT JUST
FOR THE E V CHARGING STATIONS
BUT ALSO FOR THE HYDROGEN
REFUELING STATIONS. EVERYBODY
WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. THERE
WILL BE TRANSPARENCY ALL THE WAY
AROUND, AND WE WILL BE
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MONEY THAT
WE'RE SPENDING FOR EACH OF
THESE, AND WITH THAT, I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR I

THANK YOU, MADAM SPEAKER. I HAVE
SOME GOOD NEWS TO ANNOUNCE. I
THINK THIS IS THE LAST BILL OF
THE NIGHT OR MAYBE THE SECOND TO
THE LAST FILM. AND ALSO WE HAVE
A MONUMENTAL, UH, PROPOSAL
BEFORE US TONIGHT TO EXPAND
HIGHER EDUCATION ACCESS IN
CALIFORNIA THROUGH OUR COMMUNITY
COLLEGES. THIS MEASURE WAS DEAD
A FEW WEEKS AGO, ROSE FROM THE
ASHES LIKE THE PHOENIX THINK,
TOO, THANKS TO THE SPEAKER'S
OFFICE THAT THE SENATE AND THE
GOVERNOR AND THE UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA TO BRING IT ABOUT.
AND HISTORIC OPPORTUNITY TO
EXPAND HIGHER EDUCATION VIA OUR
COMMUNITY COLLEGES OVER A DECADE
AGO, OUR U. S SENATOR ALEX
PADILLA, AS A MEMBER OF THE
LEGISLATURE CREATED THE
ASSOCIATE DEGREE FOR TRANSFER
FOR CSU STUDENTS, UNFORTUNATELY
, HASN'T BEEN THERE FOR YOU SEE
STUDENTS. THAT'S WHY ONLY 2% OF
U. C STUDENTS GRADUATE IN TWO
YEARS AND TRANSFER. TO 2% OF
COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENTS
GRADUATING TWO YEARS AND
TRANSFER TO A èC. THIS IS THE
OPPORTUNITY ONCE AND FOR ALL, TO
CREATE ONE SYSTEM, A STREAMLINED
SYSTEM FOR COMMUNITY COLLEGE
STUDENTS TO GO TO EITHER A UC OR
CSU AND GET A FOUR YEAR DEGREE
THROUGH OUR LEGISLATURE AND
THROUGH THE LEADERSHIP OF OUR
BUDGET COMMITTEE, AND ALL OF YOU
WERE GREATLY EXPANDING èC
ACCESS AND THIS WILL MAKE SURE
IT'S FURTHER, UM, EXPANDED FOR
OUR COMMUNITY. COLLEGE STUDENTS
ARE HARDWORKING COMMUNITY
COLLEGE STUDENTS THROUGHOUT
CALIFORNIA. RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
YOUR RIVAL. THANK YOU.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S SANTIAGO.
YOU'RE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU,
MADAM SPEAKER. I JUST WANTED TO
CONGRATULATE OUR COLLEAGUE FROM
SACRAMENTO BECAUSE IT'S UNDER
ESTIMATED TO SAY THAT THIS IS A
BIG DEAL. THERE HAVE BEEN SOME
MONUMENTAL LEGISLATION AROUND
ACCESS. THE ASSOCIATE DEGREE FOR
TRANSFER WAS A BIG DEAL FOR OUR
COMMUNITIES. DUAL ENROLLMENT WAS
A BIG DEAL. THIS LEGISLATURA
ALSO DELIVERED FREE COMMUNITY
COLLEGE. BUT THE WHAT? WHAT
WE'RE ABOUT TO VOTE ON IS
MONUMENTAL BECAUSE WHAT IT SAYS
IS ONE THIRD OF THE U. C
STUDENTS. WILL COME FROM
COMMUNITY COLLEGES AND WHAT THAT
MEANS IS ALL THOSE STUDENTS FROM
OUR COMMUNITIES WHO NEED WHO ARE
GETTING THAT SECOND CHANCE. WHO
MAYBE DIDN'T HAVE THE RESOURCES
DURING HIGH SCHOOL. OR MAYBE
DIDN'T GET THOSE GRADES DURING
HIGH SCHOOL FOR WHATEVER REASON.
THOSE STUDENTS NOW GET AN
OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO THE U. C
SYSTEM. IN IN A WAY THAT WE HAVE
NEVER IMAGINED BEFORE. NOW THIS
PROGRAM STARTS AT U. C. L. A AND
THEN IT EXTENDS TO THE REST OF
THE COMMUNITY THAT THE REST OF
THE U. C SYSTEM. BUT I CAN'T. I
JUST WANTED TO CONGRATULATE
BECAUSE THE WORK THAT YOU'RE
DOING SHOULD NOT BE
UNDERESTIMATED IN THE
TRANSFORMATION THAT YOU'LL HAVE
IN OUR COMMUNITIES BY GIVING
ACCESS. TWO STUDENTS FROM
COMMUNITY COLLEGE. OTHERWISE
NEVER WOULD HAVE GOTTEN THAT
OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO UC SYSTEM.
WITH THAT? I RESPECTFULLY ASK
AND I VOTE. SAYING NO FURTHER
DISCUSSION. OR DEBATE. WOULD YOU
LIKE TO CLOSE, SO I JUST WANT TO
CLOSE BY ALSO RECOGNIZING OUR
COLLEAGUE FROM, UH, MOUNTAIN
VIEW, AUTHORED LEGISLATION TO
PUT THIS IN PROCESS. PUT THIS IN
IN, UM, IN THE POSITION WHERE
WE'RE HERE TONIGHT TO PUT IT
ACROSS THE FINISH LINE, SO THANK
YOU AND RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
YOUR VOTE. WILL OPEN THE ROAD.
FATHER'S VOTE WHO DESIRE TO
VOTE. ALL THOSE VOTES WHO DESIRE
TO VOTE ALL THOSE VOTES WHO
DESIRE TO VOTE? CIRCLE. CLOSE
THE ROLE. I 76 NO. ZERO THEN
AMENDMENTS ARE CONCURRED IN
