THANK YOU. HONORABLE CHAIR, AND,
COLLEAGUES, NOW THAT EVERYONE'S
IN THE MINDSET FOR VOTING, I, I
WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT AB 2199.
I'D LIKE TO BEGIN BY THANKING
COMMITTEE STAFF FOR YOUR WORK ON
THIS BILL. I WILL BE ACCEPTING
THE COMMITTEE'S AMENDMENTS TO
ADD A 2035 SUNSET DATE AND ADD
THAT THIS BILL DOES NOT APPLY TO
PROJECTS THAT MAY CAUSE A
SUBSTANTIAL ADVERSE IMPACT TO
TRIBAL CULTURAL RESOURCES, AS
DEFINED AS DEFINED IN SECTION 21
074. IN 2018, I AUTHORED
LEGISLATION TO PROVIDE A CEQA
EXEMPTION FOR INFILL HOUSING
PROJECTS WITHIN UNINCORPORATED
AREAS OF A COUNTY TO BE A TOOL
TO HELP ADDRESS OUR HOUSING
CRISIS. PRIOR TO THIS, THERE WAS
ALREADY AN EXEMPTION FOR INFILL
PROJECTS, BUT ONLY IN CITIES.
THE EXEMPTION IN MY PREVIOUS
BILL, WHICH SUNSETS NEXT YEAR
INCORPORATED THE SAME NARROW
CONDITIONS AS THE EXEMPTION IN
CITIES, AS WELL AS PROVIDED
FURTHER LIMITATIONS TO PREVENT
SPRAWL. AS THE COMMITTEE
ANALYSIS NOTES, THE EXEMPTION
HAS BEEN USED FOR NINE PROJECTS,
RANGING FROM 10 TO 98 UNITS, FOR
A TOTAL OF 378 UNITS. AS
CALIFORNIA CONTINUES TO FACE A
HOUSING CRISIS, A B 2199 WOULD
EXTEND THIS EXISTING TOOL TO
PROMOTE INFILL HOUSING PROJECTS
IN OUR COUNTIES WITHOUT
ADVERSELY IMPACTING THE
ENVIRONMENT. I RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR AN AYE VOTE AND I'M JOINED
TODAY BY CHRIS LEE ON BEHALF OF
URBAN COUNTIES OF CALIFORNIA.
GOOD AFTERNOON, CHAIR BRIAN AND
MEMBERS CHRIS LEE HERE ON BEHALF
OF THE URBAN COUNTIES OF
CALIFORNIA, WE'RE AN ASSOCIATION
OF 14 OF THE MOST POPULOUS
COUNTIES IN CALIFORNIA, AND WE
WERE PLEASED TO BE THE SPONSOR
OF AB 2199. WE WORKED WITH THE
ASSEMBLY MEMBER, BERMAN BACK IN
2018. ON 1804, AND AS THE
ASSEMBLY MEMBER NOTED, UNTIL
THAT TIME, THERE REALLY WASN'T A
SIMILAR INFILL EXEMPTION UNDER
SEQUA FOR HOUSING PROJECTS IN
UNINCORPORATED AREAS. IT'S
SOMETHING WE'VE BEEN PUSHING
FOR, FOR A LONG TIME. IF YOU
LOOK AT THE AREAS WHERE THIS
EXEMPTION HAS BEEN USED, THEY'RE
REALLY LIKE CITIES. IF YOU
LOOKED AT THE MAP AND YOU YOU
WEREN'T A BIG MAP NERD LIKE ME,
YOU'D PROBABLY THINK THAT IT WAS
WITHIN CITY LIMITS, BECAUSE
THESE HAVE TO BE SMALL SITES.
THEY HAVE TO BE COMPLETELY, NOT
COMPLETELY SUBSTANTIALLY
SURROUNDED BY URBAN USES. AND
HAVE TO BE DENSELY DEVELOPED, AT
LEAST AS DENSE AS THE
SURROUNDING PROPERTIES. AND SO
BOTH IN URBAN COUNTIES WHERE YOU
HAVE REALLY SIGNIFICANT
POPULATIONS THAT SOMETIMES LIVE
IN THE UNINCORPORATED AREAS, AS
WELL AS IN MORE RURAL AREAS LIKE
LAKE COUNTY, HAS USED THIS
EXEMPTION FOR AN AFFORDABLE
HOUSING PROJECT IN A REALLY
SMALL COMMUNITY CALLED
KELSEYVILLE, SO WE THINK IT'S
REALLY VALUABLE IF WE'RE GOING
TO BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE OUR
CLIMATE GOALS AND OUR AFFORDABLE
HOUSING GOALS TOGETHER, TO HAVE
A REGULATORY INCENTIVE, EVEN IN
UNINCORPORATED AREAS, TO DRIVE
THAT DEVELOPMENT TO THE PLACES
THAT ARE MOST ENVIRONMENTALLY
BENEFICIAL, WHERE THERE'S
RESOURCES, WHERE THERE'S
SCHOOLS, WHERE THERE'S
INFRASTRUCTURE THAT YOU CAN
ALREADY USE. AND FOR THOSE
REASONS, WE'RE PROUD TO SUPPORT
AB 2199 AND ASK FOR YOUR AYE
VOTE. THANK YOU. ARE THERE ANY
WITNESSES HERE IN THE HEARING
ROOM WHO WOULD LIKE TO REGISTER
THEIR SUPPORT FOR THIS MEASURE?
GOOD AFTERNOON, CHAIR MEMBERS.
GOOD. AWESOME. GOOD AFTERNOON,
CHAIR AND MEMBERS. MY NAME IS
MCKINLEY THOMPSON MORLEY HERE ON
BEHALF OF THE ASSOCIATION OF
ENVIRONMENTAL PROFESSIONALS IN
SUPPORT. THANK YOU. ARE THERE
ANY PRIMARY WITNESSES IN
OPPOSITION TO THIS MEASURE?
BILL, DOES ANYBODY IN THIS
HEARING ROOM WHO WOULD LIKE TO
REGISTER THEIR OPPOSITION TO
THIS MEASURE? QUESTIONS,
COMMENTS FROM COMMITTEE MEMBERS
SEEING NONE. MOTION BY MR.
FLORES, SECOND BY MR. CARRA,
MADAM. OR WOULD YOU LIKE TO
CLOSE MR. BERMAN, I APPRECIATE
HOW EFFICIENT OF A HEARING YOU
RUN, SIR, AND WOULD RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR AN AYE VOTE. NOW, AFTER
EVERYTHING THAT LOST YOU ALL.
YOU KNOW, I HEARD AND JUST
CONFIRMING YOU DID TAKE THE
AMENDMENTS. YES, SIR, AND AS YOU
KNOW, ALL GREAT COMMITTEE CHAIRS
START OUT IN THE ELECTIONS
COMMITTEE. THAT'S ABSOLUTELY
RIGHT. WHERE YOU GET YOUR
TRAINING, THIS BILL HAS A DO
PASS RECORD FROM THE CHAIR.
MADAM SECRETARY, CAN WE CALL THE
ROLL? THE MOTION IS TO PASS, AS
AMENDED, TO APPROPRIATIONS.
BRIAN I, BRIAN, I, FLORA. FLORA,

THAT HAS SIX VOTES. THAT BILL IS
OUT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU
COLLEAGUES. MR. GABRIEL, I DID
MY ABSOLUTE BEST TO SEE IF I
COULD ONLY HAVE YOU AND MR.
BERMAN PRESENTING TODAY. WE
DON'T GET TO SEE EACH OTHER. AB
2331. LET'S GO. THROUGH THE BILL
. SIR. THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
COLLEAGUES, I WANT TO START BY
THANKING YOUR COMMITTEE STAFF
FOR THEIR THOUGHTFUL AND
INSIGHTFUL INSISTENCE ON THIS
BILL. I AM PLEASED TODAY TO
PRESENT AB 2331, A CLEAN UP BILL
THAT WILL PROVIDE ADDITIONAL
CLARIFICATION FOR BUYERS AND
SELLERS OF CARBON VOLUNTARY
CARBON OFFSETS, AS MANY OF YOU
KNOW, LAST YEAR WE PASSED AB
1305, CREATING A FIRST IN THE
NATION DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENT
FOR, VOLUNTARY CARBON OFFSETS IN
CONCEPT, VOLUNTARY CARBON
OFFSETS, CREDIT CREDITS ALLOW AN
ENTITY TO REDUCE ITS NET
EMISSIONS BY INVESTING IN
PROJECTS OR ACTIONS UNDERTAKEN
BY ANOTHER ENTITY THAT REDUCE OR
REMOVE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS.
UNFORTUNATELY, THIS HAS NOT
ALWAYS BEEN THE CASE, AS RECENT
REPORTS AND ACADEMIC RESEARCH
HAVE SHOWN THAT MANY OFFSETS
FAIL TO ACHIEVE THE GREENHOUSE
GAS EMISSIONS REDUCTIONS OR
REMOVALS AS ADVERTISED. AB 1305
WOULD REQUIRE. IT WILL ALLOW
CONSUMERS TO HAVE CONFIDENCE IN
THE OFFSETS THEY PURCHASE AND
CAN MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS WHEN
COMPARING OFFSET CREDITS. THIS
BILL ALSO MEANS MEANINGFUL
PROGRESS IN CALIFORNIA'S EFFORTS
TO ADDRESS CORPORATE
GREENWASHING, INCREASING
TRANSPARENCY AROUND CLAIMS OF
ACHIEVING CARBON NEUTRALITY, OR
SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCING
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS. THIS
BILL, BEFORE YOU TODAY IS A
SIMPLE CLEAN UP MEASURE TO
CLARIFY, WHEN THE FIRST ANNUAL
REPORTS MUST BE PUBLISHED AND
WHAT PRODUCTS ARE WITHIN THE
SCOPE OF THE BILL. WITH AB 1305
BEING THE FIRST LEGISLATION OF
ITS KIND IN THE UNITED STATES,
WE HAVE WORKED CLOSELY WITH
INDUSTRY STAKEHOLDERS TO
IDENTIFY AREAS THAT COULD
BENEFIT FROM INCREASED CLARITY
AS ENTITIES BEGIN MAKING THE
REQUIRED DISCLOSURES. THIS BILL
HAS NO REGISTERED OPPOSITION AND
HAS RECEIVED SUPPORT FROM THE
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL VOTERS
AND INCORPORATE AND INCORPORATES
FEEDBACK FROM THE CALIFORNIA
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WITH ME
TODAY TO TESTIFY IN SUPPORT OF
THE BILL AND ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS IS BARBARA HAJJAR, THE
DIRECTOR OF THE UC BERKELEY
CARBON TRADING PROJECT. THANK
YOU AND RESPECTFULLY REQUEST AN
AYE VOTE. THANK YOU, MR.
GABRIEL. YOUR WITNESS CAN BEGIN,
YES. HI. I'M DOCTOR BARBARA
HALE, RESEARCH FELLOW AT GOLDMAN
SCHOOL OF PUBLIC POLICY. I
SUPPORTED MEMBER GABRIEL IN
DRAFTING THE INITIAL BILL, I
THINK TRANSPARENCY IS ABSOLUTELY
ESSENTIAL TO HELP ENSURE QUALITY
OF OFFSETS ON THE MARKET AND TO
ALLOW BUYERS THE ABILITY TO
ASSESS THE QUALITY OF THE
OFFSETS THEY BUY, TRANSPARENCY,
HAS BEEN A PROBLEM ON THE OFFSET
MARKET TO DATE, AS WELL AS
QUALITY, SO I'M HAPPY TO
CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE CLEAN UP
BILL, AB 32331, AND ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS TODAY. THEO, ARE YOU
HERE IN SUPPORT? YEAH. DON'T
SOUND SO SHOCKED. BUT YES, WE'RE
WE'RE IN SUPPORT. IN SUPPORT OF
THE CLEAN UP BILL. TO BE CLEAR,
VERY GENEROUS OF THE ASSEMBLYMAN
TO DO THIS, WE MISSED THIS LAST
YEAR. DIDN'T PROVIDE THE TYPE OF
VITAL FEEDBACK THAT MIGHT HAVE
BEEN ABLE TO AVOID SOME OF THE
CONFUSION IN THE DEFINITION. SO
IT'S KIND ENOUGH TO INTRODUCE A
CLEAN UP BILL. WE'RE STILL
WORKING ON THAT LANGUAGE. I
DON'T THINK WE'VE GOT IT RIGHT,
BUT WE'RE GETTING VERY CLOSE. SO
I WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU AND,
SHARE, SHARE THAT, WITH WITH THE
COMMITTEE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU
SIR, ARE THERE ANY PERSONS HERE
IN THIS COMMITTEE ROOM WHO WOULD
LIKE TO REGISTER THEIR SUPPORT
FOR THIS BILL? YES, MIKE JACOB

SHIPPING ASSOCIATION. WE ALSO,

WE APPRECIATE THE, THE CLEANUP
INTRODUCTION WHERE, OUR MEMBERS
AT ARE OCEAN CARRIERS, MARINE
TERMINAL OPERATORS ARE MAJOR
PARTICIPANTS IN THE LCFS
PROGRAM, AND WE'RE LOOKING
FORWARD TO WORKING ON SOME
ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE TO GET TO
SUPPORT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
SIR, ANYBODY IN THE HEARING ROOM
WHO WOULD REGISTERING SUPPORT OR
OPPOSITION? TWEENER BRADY VAN,
ENGLAND, CALIFORNIA CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE. I'M A BIT OF A
TWEENER. WE WOULD LIKE TO GET TO
SUPPORT. WE APPRECIATE WORKING
WITH, YOU KNOW, THE AUTHOR'S
INTENT HERE AND LOOK FORWARD TO
CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THEM AS AS
THIS PROGRESSES. WE JUST URGE
THE COMMITTEE TO MOVE THE BILL.
AND, YOU KNOW, WE CAN CONTINUE
TO WORK ON IT AS IT MAKES ITS
WAY THROUGH. YES, SIR. GOOD
AFTERNOON, JOANNE BETTENCOURT,
ON BEHALF OF SIFMA, THE
SECURITIES INDUSTRY AND
FINANCIAL MARKETS ASSOCIATION, I
JUST WANTED TO THANK THE AUTHOR

ISSUES, AND WE THANK YOU. THANK

MR. GABRIEL, THANK YOU VERY
MUCH. THANK YOU SO MUCH, MISS
FRIEDMAN, ON BEHALF OF, FORMER
SPEAKER ANTHONY RENDON, WOULD
YOU LIKE TO PRESENT AB 3036?
THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. I'M
PLEASED TO PRESENT THIS BILL FOR
SPEAKER EMERITUS RENDON TODAY.
AB 3036 INSTRUCTS THE SAN
GABRIEL AND LOWER LOS ANGELES
RIVERS AND MOUNTAINS CONSERVANCY
AND THE SANTA MONICA MOUNTAINS
CONSERVANCY TO COLLABORATE WITH
THE DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND
RECREATION, THE CALIFORNIA
CONSERVATION CORPS, AND THE
STATE LANDS COMMISSION TO
DEVELOP A PERMANENT LOS ANGELES
RIVER RANGER PROGRAM BASED ON
THE ONE CREATED BY AB 1558 OF
2017. THIS BILL WILL BUILD ON
THE WORK DONE TO FOSTER
CONNECTIONS BETWEEN COMMUNITIES,
AGENCIES, AND RESOURCES IN
PROMOTING EQUITABLE USAGE AND
STEWARDSHIP OF THE LA RIVER TO
SUPPORT ECOLOGICAL, SOCIAL, AND
RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES.
FURTHERMORE, THE RIVER RANGERS
PROGRAM WILL HELP RESIDENTS
EXPERIENCE THE RIVER AS A SAFE,
INVITING PLACE AND ALLOW THEM TO
PARTICIPATE IN THE RIVER'S
ENHANCEMENT THROUGH VOLUNTEER OR
EMPLOYMENT PROGRAMS. HERE TO
SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF THE BILL IS
ERIKA ROMERO. ON BEHALF OF
BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA
ASSOCIATION OF LOCAL
CONSERVATION CORPS. S THANK YOU,
ERIKA ROMERO. SORRY. GOOD
AFTERNOON, MR. CHAIR AND
MEMBERS. ERIKA ROMERO, ON BEHALF
OF THE CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF
LOCAL CONSERVATION CORPS, I
THINK MOST OF YOU ARE FAIRLY
FAMILIAR, AS A REMINDER, IN
2017, THE LEGISLATURE ALLOWED
THE DEVELOPMENT OF A PILOT
PROGRAM TO DEVELOP A NETWORK OF
RIVER RANGERS THAT WOULD SUPPORT
RESTORATION IN THE LA RIVER
WATERSHED. SINCE THEN, THE
PROGRAM HAS EMPOWERED GOVERNING
AGENCIES TO WORK TOGETHER TO
INCREASE RIVER CORRIDOR
IMPROVEMENTS WHILE SUPPORTING
OUTDOOR ACCESS AND WORKFORCE
DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES TO
COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE
HISTORICALLY LACKED ACCESS TO
NATURE. FOR EXAMPLE, THE
CONSERVATION CORPS OF LONG BEACH
IMPLEMENTED THE INITIAL PILOT
RIVER RANGER PROGRAM IN THE SAN
GABRIEL AND LOWER LA RIVER
CONSERVANCY ALONG A FIVE MILE
STRETCH OF THE LA RIVER AT THE
CONFLUENCE OF THE REAR HONDO
RIVER, WHICH REQUIRED
COLLABORATION WITH THE CITIES OF
SOUTH GATE, DOWNEY BELL GARDENS,
AND UNINCORPORATED LA COUNTY.
THIS PARTNERSHIP RESULTED IN
RESTORATION OF ADJACENT RIVER
HABITAT, LITTER AND DEBRIS
REMOVAL, ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION,
EDUCATION, RESEARCH, SURVEYS,
AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE, ALL
WHILE PROVIDING OUTDOOR ACCESS
AND WORK OPPORTUNITIES TO THE 50
CORPS MEMBERS WHO WORKED ON THE
PROJECT, MANY OF WHOM SINCE THEN
HAVE MOVED ON TO SECONDARY
EDUCATION OR SECURED CAREER
PLACEMENTS WITH LOCAL AND
FEDERAL PARKS RELATED AGENCIES,
THIS MEASURE WOULD HELP THE
PROGRAM MAKE THIS PROGRAM
PERMANENT SO THAT COMMUNITIES
CAN CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE THE
RIVER AND WORK TOGETHER TO
MAINTAIN IT. FOR THESE REASONS,
WE URGE A VOTE. THANK YOU. ANY
PERSONS IN THIS HEARING ROOM WHO
WOULD LIKE TO REGISTER THEIR
SUPPORT FOR THIS MEASURE? GOOD
AFTERNOON, CHAIR AND MEMBERS,
NICHOLAS MAZZOTTI, ON BEHALF OF
THE CALIFORNIA STATE PARKS
FOUNDATION IN SUPPORT OF THE
MEASURE. THANK YOU SO MUCH. ANY
PERSONS IN THIS HEARING ROOM WHO
WOULD LIKE TO REGISTER THEIR
OPPOSITION TO THIS BILL. SEEING
NONE, WE'LL NOW TURN IT BACK TO
COMMITTEE MEMBERS. I SEE MISS
FREEDOM. WOULD YOU LIKE TO
CLOSE? I'LL ACCEPT THE WITNESSES
