COMPANIES WITH OVER 35 YEARS
WORKING FIRSTHAND IN EMERGENCY
MEDICAL SERVICES, I KNOW THE
DIFFICULTIES OF BEING A FIRST
RESPONDER AND ENCOUNTERING
TRAUMATIC INCIDENTS ALMOST DAILY
THAT CREATE A STRESSFUL HOME AND
WORK ENVIRONMENT. WITH AB 1843,
OUR FIRST RESPONDERS WILL HAVE
THE RESOURCES AND SUPPORT THEY
NEED TO ADDRESS THEIR MENTAL
HEALTH NEEDS AND RECOVER SO THAT
THEY CAN CONTINUE PROVIDING
CALIFORNIANS WITH EMERGENCY CARE
AND NEED THEY DESERVE. BECAUSE
THIS ONLY AFFECTS PRIVATE SECTOR
EMS PROVIDERS. THIS HAS
ESTIMATED TO HAVE NO FISCAL
IMPACT ON THE STATE. THANK YOU,
THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE ANY
WITNESSES? PRIMARY WITNESSES IN
SUPPORT? ANY ADDITIONAL
WITNESSES IN SUPPORT? ANY
PRIMARY WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION?
ADDITIONAL WITNESSES IN
OPPOSITION. WE WILL BRING IT

YOU. THANK YOU, NEXT UP, WE HAVE
MISS BLANCA RUBIO WEARING YOUR
JEANS ON DENIM DAY. THANK YOU,
MADAM CHAIR. MEMBERS, FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT, AB 1965.
THIS MEASURE WOULD ESTABLISH THE
OFFICE OF TRIBAL AFFAIRS WITHIN
THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH,
LED BY A TRIBAL HEALTH LIAISON.
THIS WOULD PROVIDE A DIRECT
ADVOCATE FOR OUR TRIBAL
COMMUNITIES WITH THE PRIMARY
GOAL OF REDUCING HEALTH
DISPARITIES WHILE CONSOLIDATING
MANY, MANY, MUCH OF THE WORK
ALREADY CARRIED OUT BY CDF IN
THIS SPACE. THIS MEASURE HAS NO
OPPOSITION, HAS ENJOYED
BIPARTISAN SUPPORT THROUGH
POLICY COMMITTEE HERE WITH ME
TODAY TO ANSWER ANY TECHNICAL
QUESTIONS IS DOCTOR MARK LEBEAU,
ON BEHALF OF OUR SPONSOR, THE
CALIFORNIA RURAL INDIAN HEALTH
BOARD. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. YOU
HAVE TWO MINUTES. GOOD MORNING.
I'M DOCTOR MARK LEBEAU, A MEMBER
OF THE PIT RIVER TRIBE FROM
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. I WORK FOR
THE CALIFORNIA RURAL INDIAN
HEALTH BOARD. WE HAVE 58
FEDERALLY RECOGNIZED TRIBES IN
OUR MEMBERSHIP. 19 TRIBAL CLINIC
SYSTEMS THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA,
PARTICULARLY IN RURAL AND
FRONTIER REGIONS OF THE STATE.

YOUR DENIM ON DENIM DAY. MADAM
CHAIR MEMBERS, AB 2442 SEEKS TO
IMPROVE ACCESS FOR GENDER
AFFIRMING CARE IN ANTICIPATION
OF A SURGE IN OUT OF STATE
PATIENTS SEEKING CARE IN
CALIFORNIA. THIS BILL
SPECIFICALLY REQUIRES THE
EXPEDITED PROCESSING OF
LICENSURE APPLICATIONS FOR
PROVIDERS, DEMONSTRATING A
COMMITMENT TO GENDER AFFIRMING
HEALTH CARE OR MENTAL HEALTH
CARE SERVICES WITHIN THEIR
LICENSED SCOPE OF PRACTICE. THIS
BILL WILL FORTIFY OUR GENDER
AFFIRMING CARE PROVIDER NETWORK
IN OUR STATE AND ACCORDING TO
THE COMMITTEE ANALYSIS, HAS
MINOR AND MOSTLY ABSORBABLE
COSTS FOR THE LICENSING BOARDS.
THE BILL IS SPONSORED BY
EQUALITY CALIFORNIA AND PLANNED
PARENTHOOD AFFILIATES OF
CALIFORNIA. I RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR YOUR AYE VOTE WITH ME TODAY.
IS CRAIG PULSIPHER. ON BEHALF OF
A CALIFORNIA. ON BEHALF OF
EQUALITY CALIFORNIA, GOOD
MORNING, CHAIR AND MEMBERS CRAIG
PULSIPHER ON BEHALF OF EQUALITY
CALIFORNIA, A VERY PROUD
CO-SPONSOR OF THIS BILL TO
ENSURE THAT TRANS PEOPLE IN
CALIFORNIA AND ACROSS THE
COUNTRY CAN ACCESS THE ESSENTIAL
HEALTH CARE THEY NEED.
APPRECIATE THE COMMITTEE'S
ANALYSIS. I WOULD JUST NOTE THAT
THE COSTS ARE EXTREMELY MINIMAL.
ONLY $18,000 AND NON-ABSORBABLE
COSTS, ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE
URGENCY OF THIS ISSUE CURRENTLY,
OVER 20 STATES, NEARLY HALF THE
COUNTRY RESTRICT ACCESS TO
HEALTH CARE FOR TRANS YOUTH. AND
JUST LAST WEEK, THE US SUPREME
COURT ISSUED A RULING ALLOWING
IDAHO TO ENFORCE ITS BAN ON
HEALTH CARE FOR TRANS PEOPLE AND
WHILE CALIFORNIA HAS TAKEN
NUMEROUS STEPS TO BE A SAFE
HAVEN FOR TRANS YOUTH AND THEIR
FAMILIES, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE
WE HAVE A ROBUST PROVIDER
NETWORK IN PLACE TO SERVE THE
GROWING NUMBER OF TRANS YOUTH
WHO WILL SEEK ESSENTIAL HEALTH
CARE IN CALIFORNIA. THIS IS A
STRAIGHTFORWARD AND LOW COST
MEASURE TO EXPEDITE THE
LICENSURE PROCESS FOR PROVIDERS
WHO CAN PROVIDE THIS ESSENTIAL
HEALTH CARE AND RESPECTFULLY
URGE YOUR AYE VOTE. THANK YOU,
DO WE HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL
WITNESSES? OH, SORRY. YES, SIR.
THE OTHER BILL. OH. GOT IT.
GREAT. OKAY. FOR THE OTHER BILL.
OKAY, ANY ADDITIONAL WITNESSES
IN SUPPORT? MOLLY ROBSON WITH
PLANNED PARENTHOOD AFFILIATES OF
CALIFORNIA. WE'RE A CO-SPONSOR
IN STRONG SUPPORT. THANK YOU,
THANK YOU. ANY WITNESSES IN
OPPOSITION? OKAY. WE WILL BRING
IT BACK TO COMMITTEE. WE HAVE A
MOTION AND A SECOND. AND MR.
ZUBER, THAT. OH YES. ABSOLUTELY
THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. AND
THANK YOU TO THE AUTHOR FOR
BRINGING UP THIS IMPORTANT
POLICY. I'D LOVE TO BE ADDED AS
A COAUTHOR IF POSSIBLE. THANK
YOU. I WOULD LIKE TO JUST SHARE
JUST SOMETHING THAT I THINK WE
SHOULD BE COGNIZANT ABOUT. AS
FAR AS I KNOW, THERE ARE
CURRENTLY THREE POLICY BILLS
THAT EXPEDITE THE LICENSING FOR
OUT OF STATE PROVIDERS. SO YOURS
BEING ONE OF THEM. VERY
IMPORTANT. THE GOVERNOR TODAY IS
ANNOUNCING ANOTHER POLICY ON
EXPEDITING THE LICENSES FOR
ABORTION PROVIDERS. THE
FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CARE
CLINICS ARE. HEALTH CARE CENTERS
ARE ALSO EXPEDITING DOCTORS FROM
OUT OF STATE TO SERVICE LOW
INCOME AREAS AND COMMUNITIES OF
NEED, ALL OF WHICH ARE
INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT. I WOULD
JUST CAUTION THAT WE ALSO HAVE
TO LOOK AT THE BANDWIDTH OF THE
AGENCY AND DEPARTMENT TO SEE IF
THEY HAVE THE STAFF AVAILABLE.
WE CURRENTLY HAVE, MORE THAN
1500 VACANCIES IN AGENCIES
ACROSS THE STATE. I HAD A POLICY
BILL THAT WE ARE, GIVING MORE
TIME TO ENSURE THAT CAL H.R IS
ABLE TO HIRE MORE INDIVIDUALS TO
WORK IN THE STATE, SPECIFICALLY
IN LICENSING. SO I WOULD JUST
ENCOURAGE YOU TO HAVE THOSE
CONVERSATIONS AS WELL, BECAUSE
WHILE WE MAY BE MOVING FORWARD,
POLICIES THAT EXPEDITE THE
LICENSING, IF WE DON'T HAVE THE
STAFF IN THE AGENCY OR
DEPARTMENTS TO MOVE THOSE
THINGS, THEN I JUST WORRY THAT
THAT WE'RE CREATING A DEFICIT AT
THE SAME TIME. SO JUST PUTTING
THAT ON YOUR RADAR AS WELL.
THANK YOU. YEAH. THANK YOU. I
MEAN, THE MY ONLY RESPONSE TO
THAT IS THAT IF YOU LOOK AT SORT
OF THE NON-ABSORBABLE COSTS, IT
WAS $18,000. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
REALLY A RELATIVELY SMALL NUMBER
OF PEOPLE, GIVEN THE SIZE OF THE
POPULATION ON THIS VERY SPECIAL
SIZED AREA OF GENDER AFFIRMING
CARE. SO GREAT. ANY OTHER
QUESTIONS FROM COMMITTEE MEMBERS
? AND I THINK WE HAVE A MOTION
AND A SECOND GREAT MR. ZUBER
THAT IS OUT ON A B ROLL CALL.
THANK YOU. AND WOULD YOU LIKE TO
PRESENT 2889? YES. THANK YOU,
MADAM CHAIR. MEMBERS PLEASED TO
PRESENT A B 2889 WHICH GIVES THE
PUBLIC EMPLOYEE RELATIONS BOARD
PERB JURISDICTION OVER INITIAL
REQUESTS FOR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF
BY THE LOS ANGELES CITY AND LOS
ANGELES COUNTY, UNIONS THAT
BARGAIN WITH THE CITY OF LOS
ANGELES AND THE COUNTY OF LOS
ANGELES ARE THE ONLY THREE
PUBLIC EMPLOYEE UNIONS IN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA THAT ARE NOT
AFFORDED THE SAME PROTECTIONS
THAT OTHER PUBLIC EMPLOYEE
UNIONS OBTAIN FROM PERB, THE TWO
BODIES THAT GOVERN, UNIONS IN
THE CITY AND THE COUNTY OF LOS
ANGELES DO NOT HAVE THE SAME,
LABOR PROTECTIONS AS THE AS PER
AFFORDS, THESE UNIONS IN OTHER
PARTS OF THE STATE, IN THE
PUBLIC SECTOR STRIKES AT
EMPLOYER REQUESTS FOR INJUNCTIVE
RELIEF IN LOS ANGELES CITY AND
LOS ANGELES COUNTY ARE LESS
COMMON THAN IN THE PRIVATE
SECTORS. WE ESTIMATE THAT PERB
WOULD HAVE TO DEVOTE RESOURCES
TO THESE OF UP TO TWO TIMES A
YEAR, BUT ONLY ONCE ON AVERAGE,
WHICH IS WHAT THE COST IS. IT'S
REALLY JUST RESPONDING TO THESE
INJUNCTIVE REQUESTS, THE STAFF
TIME AND RESOURCES. PERB WOULD
EXPEND OR LESS THAN WHAT WOULD
BE EXPENDED BY THE COUNTY. AND
THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES FILING
IN COURT UNDER THE CURRENT
PRACTICE, AB 2889 IS A MEASURE
THAT LEADS TO A MORE EFFICIENT
AND EFFECTIVE RESOLUTION FOR
LABOR DISPUTES WITHIN THE COUNTY
OF LOS ANGELES AND THE CITY. AB
2889 IS SPONSORED BY SEIU
CALIFORNIA AND ASKING
CALIFORNIA, WITH ME TODAY IS
GEORGE OSBORNE ON BEHALF OF THE
UNION OF AMERICAN PHYSICIANS AND
DENTISTS, ANOTHER ONE OF THE
SPONSORS OF THE BILL, TO PROVIDE
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND
ASSIST WITH QUESTIONS. THANK

MIC ON? THANK YOU. SIT ON NOW.

UNION OF AMERICAN PHYSICIANS AND
DENTISTS. AB 2889, REQUIRES THAT

WE ARE MEETING WAITING FOR
MISTER LOWENTHAL
.
THANK YOU, MISTER LOWENTHAL, YOU
ARE OUR FINAL BILL PRESENTER AT.
AND YOU WILL BE PRESENTING A B
3048 MORNING CHAIR AND MEMBERS
A, B 30, 48 IS A VERY SIMPLE
BILL, MAYBE 3048 MAKES IT EASIER
FOR CONSUMERS TO STATE THEIR
PRIVACY PREFERENCES FROM THE
START. BY REQUIRING WEB BROWSERS
TO ALLOW A USER TO EXERCISE
THEIR OPT OUT RIGHTS AT ALL
BUSINESSES WITH WHICH THEY
INTERACT ONLINE. IN A VERY IN A
SINGLE STEP. CURRENTLY, THREE
BROWSER COMPANIES ALREADY
IMPLEMENT EASY TO FIND OPT OUT
PREFERENCES. THERE ARE MOZILLA
FIREFOX, DUCKDUCKGO, AND BRAVE.
THE OTHER BROWSER COMPANIES
REQUIRE EITHER A THIRD PARTY ADD
ON OR INVOLVE A LABORIOUS
PROCESS THAT MOST PEOPLE DON'T
HAVE. THE TECHNICAL ABILITY OR
PATIENCE TO GO THROUGH. IN THE
END, AB 3048 WILL ENSURE THAT AN
INDIVIDUAL'S RIGHT TO PRIVACY IS
UPHELD BY REQUIRING WEB BROWSERS
TO OFFER EASY TO FIND GLOBAL OPT
OUT SETTINGS SO THAT ANYONE CAN
STOP THE SALE OF THEIR
INFORMATION BY ALL BUSINESSES IF
THEY SO CHOOSE. AS THE ANALYSIS
STATES, THE BILL HAS MINOR
ABSORBABLE COSTS TO THE CPA.
THANK YOU. AND I ASK FOR YOUR I
VOTE. MY WITNESS TODAY IS
MAUREEN MAHONEY WITH THE
CALIFORNIA PRIVACY PROTECTION
AGENCY. THANK YOU. YOU HAVE TWO
MINUTES. PLEASE MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE. MY NAME IS MAUREEN
MAHONEY. I'M THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR
OF POLICY AND LEGISLATION AT THE
CALIFORNIA PRIVACY PROTECTION
AGENCY. WE'RE THE PROUD SPONSOR
OF AB 348, WHICH WOULD REQUIRE
ALL BROWSERS TO OFFER TO
CONSUMERS THE OPTION TO USE
WHAT'S KNOWN AS OPT OUT
PREFERENCE SIGNALS. SO ONE OF
THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF
THE CALIFORNIA CONSUMER PRIVACY
ACT IS THE EXISTING REQUIREMENT
THAT BUSINESSES RECEIVING THESE
OPT OUT PREFERENCE SIGNALS HONOR
THEM AS AN OPT OUT OF SALE AND
SHARING OF THEIR PERSONAL
INFORMATION. SO IF YOU USE A
PRIVACY FOCUSED BROWSER LIKE
BRAVE, DUCKDUCKGO, OR FIREFOX
THAT LETS YOU SEND THESE SIGNALS
SO THAT EVERY TIME YOU GO TO A
WEBSITE, IT'S AUTOMATICALLY
GETTING THIS REQUEST OPT OUT SO
YOU CAN SEE HOW IT'D BE MUCH
EASIER FOR CONSUMERS TO EXERCISE
THEIR PREFERENCES THAT WAY. THE
PROBLEM IS A MAJOR BROWSER
VENDORS LIKE GOOGLE CHROME,
APPLE SAFARI, MICROSOFT EDGE
DON'T OFFER NATIVE SUPPORT FOR
THESE SIGNALS. THIS BILL SEEKS
TO ADDRESS THAT GIVE CONSUMERS A
MEANINGFUL CHOICE IN THE
MARKETPLACE, AND FOR THESE
REASONS, WE RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
YOUR SUPPORT. THANK YOU, THANK
YOU. DO YOU HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL
WITNESSES THAT WOULD LIKE TO
EXPRESS SUPPORT? ANY WITNESSES
IN OPPOSITION? WE WILL BRING IT
BACK TO COMMITTEE. WE HAVE A
MOTION AND A SECOND. AND WITH
THAT, MR. LOWENTHAL, YOUR BILL
ENJOYS A DUE PASS.
RECOMMENDATION IS OUT ON A B
ROLL CALL. THANK YOU. AND.
I NOW LIKE TO OPEN UP THE
HEARING TO COMMENTS MADE BY
MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC ON ANY
BILLS NOT PRESENTED IN THE
COMMITTEE TODAY, PLEASE BE SURE
TO LIMIT YOUR COMMENTS TO NAME
ORGANIZATION AND YOUR POSITION
ON THE BILL. IF THERE'S ANYONE
IN THE ROOM WHO WOULD LIKE TO
STATE THEIR POSITION ON A BILL,
PLEASE APPROACH THE MICROPHONE
NOW. OKAY. AND WE WILL WAIT FOR
MISS PELLER AND MR. VALLAPUDUA
TO ADD ON TO THE CONSENT
CALENDAR
.
