MOVING TO BUSINESS ON THE DAILY
FILE FILE ITEM 40 AB 1850 BY
ASSEMBLY MEMBER PELLERIN. THE
CLERK WILL READ. ASSEMBLY BILL,
1850 BY ASSEMBLY MEMBER PELLERIN
AND OTHERS. AN ACT RELATING TO
STATE GOVERNMENT. ASSEMBLY
MEMBER PELLERIN, YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MR.
SPEAKER, AND MEMBERS, GET READY
TO ROLL OUT THE SLIME CARPET.
DID YOU KNOW THAT CURRENTLY
THERE IS NO STATE SLUG? WITH
YOUR SUPPORT, I HOPE TO CHANGE
THAT. AB 1850 RECOGNIZES THE
HISTORICAL SCIENTIFIC AND
CULTURAL APPRECIATION OF THE
BANANA SLUG BY DESIGNATING IT AS
THE CALIFORNIA'S OFFICIAL STATE
SLUG. IT WAS INTENTIONALLY
NUMBERED AFTER THE YEAR
CALIFORNIA BECAME A STATE. THE
BANANA SLUG IS AN ICONIC SYMBOL
OF CALIFORNIA'S FAMED TEMPERATE
RAINFOREST, AND AN EXAMPLE OF
THE RAPID EVOLUTION THAT HAS
MADE CALIFORNIA EXTREMELY
BIOLOGICALLY DIVERSE DUE TO ITS
QUIRKY APPEARANCE AND NAME, THE
BANANA SLUG IS HIGHLY POPULAR
AMONG BOTH CHILDREN AND ADULTS
IN CALIFORNIA. BANANA SLUGS ARE
LARGELY ENDEMIC TO THE STATE AND
CAN BE FOUND IN ECOSYSTEMS
THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA, BUT YOU
MOST CERTAINLY CAN FIND THEM AT
BIG BASIN AND HENRY COWELL STATE
PARKS AND THE 28TH ASSEMBLY
DISTRICT. I'M GRATEFUL TO THE
COAUTHORS OF THIS BILL, WHO ALSO
REPRESENT AREAS OF THE STATE
WHERE BANANA SLUGS LIVE. SOME OF
YOU ARE PROUDLY WEARING YOUR
BANANA SLUG SOCKS TODAY, SO
THANK YOU. CURRENTLY THERE ARE
AT LEAST SIX SPECIES OF BANANA
SLUGS FOUND AND RECORDED WITHIN
CALIFORNIA, OF WHICH ONLY ONE
SPECIES, THE PACIFIC BANANA
SLUG, IS FOUND OUTSIDE THE
STATE. IN 1986, THE UNIVERSAL TÊ
OF SANTA CRUZ ADOPTED THE BANANA
SLUG AS ITS OFFICIAL MASCOT,
WHICH HAS HAD CULTURAL RIPPLES
SINCE THEN, INCLUDING A
SHOWCASING OF THE MASCOT IN THE
1994 MOVIE PULP FICTION. WE
RECENTLY SPONSORED AN ART
CONTEST IN MY ASSEMBLY DISTRICT
AND RECEIVED SOME GORGEOUS
ARTISTIC RENDERINGS OF OUR
BELOVED SLUG WITH MR. SPEAKER,
WITH YOUR PERMISSION, I'D LIKE
TO SHOW SOME OF THE INCREDIBLE
WORKS OF ART SUBMITTED BY YOUTH
IN MY DISTRICT. WE HAVE THIS
BEAUTIFUL ONE HERE WITH A DRAGON
. WE HAVE LOVELY ONES HERE. THIS
IS A DIGITALLY CREATED SLUG THAT
WE GOT THIS ONE ALSO SHOWCASES
OUR STATE. POPPY THIS ONE REALLY
PULLS UP THAT BANANA THEME.
WE'VE GOT ANOTHER ONE USING THAT
THEME AS A YUMMY. SO COOL. AND
THEN WE HAVE OUR AWARD WINNER
BANANA SLUG ON THE BEAUTIFUL
LEAF. SO THE BANANA SLUG IS NOT
ONLY THE SUBJECT OF GREAT ART,
BUT IT IS ALSO HIGHLIGHTED IN
SONGS. I WON'T SING IT FOR YOU
TODAY. IN FACT, THERE IS EVEN A
BANANA SLUG STRING BAND. AND AS
A SPECIAL TREAT FOR MY
COLLEAGUES TODAY, YOU WILL FIND
MILK AND DARK CHOCOLATE MOLDED
INTO BANANA SLUGS IN OUR MEMBERS
LOUNGE. THESE CHOCOLATES ARE
MADE BY A LOCAL CHOCOLATIER IN
SANTA CRUZ. MCKENZIE'S
CHOCOLATES. WHILE THERE ARE MANY
GREAT SYMBOLS OUT THERE TO
REPRESENT CALIFORNIA, I THINK
THE BANANA SLUG WILL BE
ESPECIALLY ICONIC. AND FOR THESE
REASONS AND MORE, I RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR YOUR AYE VOTE IN SUPPORT
OF AB 1850 AND THEN I'LL HAVE AN
INTRODUCTION. AND NOW, SEEING
AND HEARING NO FURTHER DEBATE,
CRAWLING OR SLITHERING TO A
MICROPHONE, THE CLERK WILL OPEN
THE ROLL. ALL THOSE VOTE WHO
DESIRE TO VOTE. ALL THOSE VOTE
WHO DESIRE TO VOTE. ALL THOSE
VOTE WHO DESIRE TO VOTE. THE
CLERK WILL CLOSE THE ROLL AND
TALLY THE VOTES. AYES 68. NOES.
ONE MEASURE PASSES, ASSEMBLY
MEMBER PELLERIN. THANK YOU, MR.
SPEAKER. MEMBERS I AM HONORED.
TODAY I WANT TO INTRODUCE THE
ICONIC SAMMY THE SLUG, THE
OFFICIAL MASCOT OF UC SANTA
CRUZ, WHO MAY SOON GET A JOB
PROMOTION AS A FUTURE AMBASSADOR
FOR OUR STATE. EVERYONE, PLEASE
JOIN ME IN WELCOMING SAMMY THE
SLUG WHO. THANK YOU. ASSEMBLY
MEMBER PELLERIN IN SOLIDARITY,
REPRESENTING THE NORTH COAST,
WHERE WE HAVE A LOT OF BANANA
SLUGS. I AM WEARING MY BANANA
SLUG SOCKS SO THANK YOU. MOVING

MEMBER SILVA, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED
FOR YOUR GUESTS INTRODUCTIONS.
THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER. JOINING
US TODAY IN THE GALLERY AND THE
REAR OF THE CHAMBERS ARE MEMBERS
OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF
THE CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF FAMILY
PHYSICIANS. PLEASE JOIN ME IN
WELCOMING THEM TO THE ASSEMBLY.
THANK YOU. ASSEMBLYMAN SHABO,
AND WELCOME TO YOUR GUESTS, WHO
CAN BE EASILY RECOGNIZED BY
THEIR WHITE COATS
.
MOVING ON TO FILE ITEM 61 AB
1986 BY ASSEMBLY MEMBER BRIAN.
THE CLERK WILL READ. ASSEMBLY
BILL, 1986 BY ASSEMBLY MEMBER
BRIAN. AN ACT RELATING TO
PRISONS. MR. BRIAN, YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MR.
SPEAKER, AND COLLEAGUES, I RISE
TO PRESENT AB 1986. I'M CURIOUS
IF ANYBODY KNOWS WHAT THE
MERRIAM-WEBSTER VISUAL
DICTIONARY, FRIDA KAHLO'S THE
PAINTINGS, THE KITE RUNNER, LADY
GAGA'S BORN TO BE FREE AND
NELSON MANDELA'S PRISONER IN THE
GARDEN ALL HAVE IN COMMON. I'LL
JUMP TO THE END FOR YOU. YOU
CAN'T READ THEM IN A CALIFORNIA
STATE PRISON. CONTRASTINGLY,
MIND KAMPF BY ADOLF HITLER. THE
CLANSMAN, A HISTORICAL ROMANCE
OF THE KU KLUX KLAN AND EVERY
WHITE NATIONALIST LITERATURE,
NOVEL CELEBRATING THE KU KLUX
KLAN IS NOT FOUND ON CDCR'S
PRISON BOOK BANNED. EVEN WORSE
THAN THAT IS WE ALL DIDN'T KNOW
THAT. AND NEITHER DO THE PEOPLE
OF CALIFORNIA, BECAUSE THE
PRISON BOOK BANNED IS NOT
PUBLICLY PRODUCED. THERE IS NO
TRANSPARENCY AND THEREFORE THERE
IS NO ACCOUNTABILITY. WHAT AB
1986 DOES IS IT CREATES A
PROCESS BY WHICH THIS LIST OF
BANNED LITERATURE IS PUT ONLINE
AND CREATES A MECHANISM WITH THE
OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY OR THE
INSPECTOR GENERAL THAT WOULD
ALLOW FOR BOOKS TO BE REMOVED
FROM THIS LIST IF THEY DO NOT
SERVE THE PENOLOGICAL INTEREST,
OR IF THEY SEEM TO ONLY APPEAR
ON THIS LIST BECAUSE THEY WERE
WRITTEN BY BLACK AUTHORS OR
OTHER AUTHORS OF COLOR. THIS
BILL HAS NO OPPOSITION, AND I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR AYE
VOTE. THANK YOU. ASSEMBLY MEMBER
BRIAN, SEEING AND HEARING NO
FURTHER DEBATE. OH, EXCUSE,
ASSEMBLY MEMBER WILSON, YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MR.
SPEAKER. MEMBERS, I RISE IN
SUPPORT OF AB 1986 COAUTHORED, I
MEAN AUTHORED BY A MEMBER OF THE
BLACK CAUCUS AND COAUTHORED BY
ALL MEMBERS OF THE BLACK CAUCUS.
I STAND AS CHAIR, NOTING THAT
THIS BILL IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT
AS IT RELATES TO REPARATIONS.
THIS IS ONE OF THE REPARATIONS,
PRIORITY PACKAGE BILLS. WE KNOW
THAT THIS IS A MULTI YEAR EFFORT
TO MOVE THE NEEDLE IN THIS SPACE
AND TO MAKE UP FOR YEARS OF
DISCRIMINATION, GENERATIONS OF
DISCRIMINATION AND RACISM AND
START TO REMOVE THE LEGACY OF
SLAVERY IN CALIFORNIA. AND WITH
THAT, I, ON BEHALF OF THE ENTIRE
BLACK CAUCUS, ASK FOR YOUR AYE
VOTE. THANK YOU. ASSEMBLY MEMBER
WILSON, WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE
MR. BRIAN? YES. MR. SPEAKER,
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER AND
CALIFORNIA. WE DON'T BAN BOOKS.
WE DON'T DO IT IN OUR SYSTEMS OF
HIGHER EDUCATION, AND WE
SHOULDN'T DO IT IN OUR CRIMINAL
LEGAL SYSTEM. KNOWLEDGE IS
TRANSFORMATION. KNOWLEDGE IS
HEALING. THE FACT THAT WE'VE
DEPRIVED FOLKS WHO ARE
INCARCERATED OF THE ABILITY TO
TRANSFORM THEIR LIVES THROUGH
THOUGHTFUL LITERATURE THAT HELPS
THEM UNDERSTAND THE WORLD AROUND
THEM, AND EVEN THE CONDITIONS
THAT LED TO THEIR CONFINEMENT IS
APPALLING. WHAT'S EVEN WORSE IS
WE DO THIS PROCESS IN THE DARK.
WITH AB 1986, WE WILL FINALLY
BRING BOTH TRANSPARENCY TO THIS
PROCESS AND ACCOUNTABILITY. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR AYE
VOTE. THANK YOU. ASSEMBLY MEMBER
BRIAN, THE CLERK WILL OPEN THE
ROLL. ALL THOSE VOTE WHO DESIRE
TO VOTE ALL THOSE VOTE WHO
DESIRE TO VOTE. ALL THOSE VOTE
WHO DESIRE TO VOTE. THE CLERK
WILL CLOSE THE ROLL AND TALLY
THE VOTES. AYES 67. NÓ ZERO.
MEASURE PASSES. SENATE. THIRD
READING FIVE LINES 83 THROUGH
90. PASS AND RETAIN ON THE ON
THOSE ITEMS. MEMBERS A QUORUM
CALL IS STILL IN PLACE. WE ARE
MOVING TO ADJOURNMENTS AND
MEMORY. I ASK THAT YOU PLEASE

TO PERMISSION TO, THOSE THOSE
