THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER, FOR
ALLOWING ME TO INTRODUCE MY
PARENTS, DOCTOR KEN AND TRACY
WALLACE. MY FATHER, DOCTOR KEN
WALLACE, RETIRED FROM HIS DENTAL
PRACTICE IN 2022. SOME OF YOU
MAY HAVE MET MY DAD WHEN HE WAS
PRESIDENT OF THE CALIFORNIA
DENTAL ASSOCIATION IN 2015 AND
2016, AND AT LEAST ONE OF YOU
HUNG OUT WITH MY DAD AT A FEW
RAIDERS GAMES. MY MOTHER, TRACY,
IS THE BEST MOM A BOY COULD HOPE
FOR. SHE DROVE ME TO ALL OF MY
LITTLE LEAGUE GAMES AND
PRACTICES. SHE WAS A GREAT
CHEERLEADER. TRUTH BE TOLD THERE
IN SACRAMENTO TO SUPPORT ME AT
TONIGHT'S LEGISLATIVE SOFTBALL
GAME. GO SOCAL. MY SISTER,
BROTHERS AND I DEFINITELY WON
THE PARENT JACKPOT. I KNOW THAT
THEY'RE PROUD OF ALL OF US KIDS,
BUT I'M MUCH MORE PROUD TO HAVE
THEM WITH ME TODAY. AND IT IS MY
HONOR TO PRESENT MY PARENTS AND
MY CONSTITUENTS, KEN AND TRACY
WALLACE, TO THE CALIFORNIA STATE
ASSEMBLY.
AND JUST A PERSONAL NOTE, DOCTOR
KEN WALLACE AND I WERE
CLASSMATES IN DENTAL SCHOOL. WE
SAT NEXT TO EACH OTHER FOR FOUR
YEARS AND WHILE WE SHARED A LOT
OF THINGS, POLITICS AND OUR
POLITICAL PERSUASIONS IS NOT ONE
OF THEM. BUT HE'S A GOOD FRIEND.
I CONSIDER HIM A GOOD FRIEND,
AND I. IT'S GREAT TO SEE YOU AND
TRACY HERE TODAY. THANK YOU.
MOVING TO MEMBERS, PLEASE ASK
YOU GIVE YOUR ATTENTION TO
ASSEMBLY MEMBER SHIAVO IN THE
REAR OF THE CHAMBER AS SHE
RECOGNIZES THE RETIREMENT OF A
LONGTIME STAFF PERSON, ASSEMBLY
MEMBER SHIAVO. YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED AT ASSEMBLY MEMBER
WICKS DESKS FOR YOUR
PRESENTATION. THANK YOU SO MUCH,
MR. SPEAKER. I IT IS WITH A
HEAVY HEART THAT I RISE TODAY TO
WISH OUR CHIEF OF STAFF THE
BEST, WHO IS RETIRING IN THE
FALL AND MANY PEOPLE KNOW HUGH
BAUER. HE'S BEEN AROUND FOR 26
YEARS AND AS AND WHILE HE'S BEEN
HERE A LONG TIME, MY HISTORY
WITH HIM HAS BEEN JUST THIS LAST
TERM SINCE I'VE GOTTEN ELECTED.
AND FOR MANY OF YOU WHO KNOW, IT
WAS KIND OF A LATE DECISION IN
MY RACE AND SO WHEN I FOUND OUT
SATURDAY THAT I WON, I WOKE UP 7
A.M. SUNDAY MORNING AND I
STARTED TEXTING AND CALLING
PEOPLE BECAUSE I DESPERATELY
NEEDED GOOD STAFF AND HUGH, HIS
NAME, CAME UP SO MANY TIMES. AND
WHEN I STARTED VETTING HIM
AROUND WITH FOLKS AND TALKING
WITH FOLKS, HE, YOU KNOW,
EVERYONE HAD GOOD WORDS TO SAY
ABOUT HUGH. AND SO WHEN I WAS
ABLE TO MEET WITH HUGH, WE HAD A
LONG CONVERSATION AND, AND I
REALIZED THAT HE WAS
INTERVIEWING ME AS MUCH AS I WAS
INTERVIEWING HIM, BECAUSE HE'S
BEEN AROUND FOR A WHILE, AND HE
KNOWS HOW THINGS WORK. AND, AND
ONE OF THE QUESTIONS HE ASKED ME
IS, SO HOW DO YOU HANDLE STRESS?
AND I REALIZED HE WAS TRYING TO
FIGURE OUT IF I'M A YELLER OR
NOT. AND I APPRECIATED THAT HE
WAS DIGGING DOWN BECAUSE HE
WANTED TO WORK IN THE KIND OF
ENVIRONMENT WHERE HE WOULD BE
HAPPY AND HEALTHY, TOO. AND
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HE HAS
FOSTERED FOR STAFF OVER THESE
YEARS, HUGH, YOU KNOW, WHEN I
WAS TALKING ABOUT HIRING STAFF,
I WAS GOING OVER WHAT ARE THE
IMPORTANT THINGS TO ME? AND HE'S
LIKE, I WANT TO ADD ON FUN. AND
HE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT NOT
ONLY DID WE DO THE HARD WORK,
DID WE DO GOOD WORK, BUT WE ALSO
MADE SURE IT WAS A FUN PLACE TO
WORK, A PLACE PEOPLE ENJOYED
BEING. AND HE HAS EVERY DAY
FOSTERED THAT ENVIRONMENT. SO
HUGH STARTED AS AN ATTORNEY. HE
GOT INTO PUBLIC SERVICE RIGHT
AWAY. HE WAS THE CHIEF
CONSULTANT FOR MANY YEARS FOR
THE HOUSING COMMITTEE. AND MANY
PEOPLE KNOW HIM AS THE CHIEF FOR
FORMER SPEAKER PRO TEM KEVIN
MULLIN, WHO IS NOW CONGRESSMAN
MULLIN, WHO IS HERE TODAY ALONG
WITH MANY OF HIS STAFF AND
FORMER STAFF WHO USED TO WORK
HERE, TOO, YOU KNOW, WE'VE HEARD
LOTS OF WE WERE ABLE TO HEAR
LOTS OF GOOD STORIES ABOUT HUGH,
SOME OF THEM INCLUDING THROWING
A FOOTBALL IN THE HALLWAY OR
PLAYING BOCCE BALL IN THE
HALLWAY ON END OF SESSION TO
BREAK THE TENSION, BUT I THINK
YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE THINGS
THAT, I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT
THERE WERE MEMORIES AND WORDS
FROM OTHERS WHO HAVE WORKED SO
LONG WITH HIM. AND I FELT LIKE
THIS REALLY SUMMED IT UP
PERFECTLY WHEN STAFF WERE
TALKING ABOUT WHAT IT'S LIKE TO
WORK WITH HUGH. THAT HIS RELAXED
DEMEANOR, HIS SAGE ADVICE, HIS
HUMOROUS STORIES AND SUPPORT TO
DEVELOP STAFF HAS MADE HIM ABOVE
AND BEYOND ENJOYABLE TO WORK
WITH. AND THE OFFICE A WONDERFUL
PLACE TO BE. IT'S MADE IT FUN
AND INSPIRING TO COME TO WORK
EVERY DAY, AND HE WILL BE MISSED.
BUT HIS LEGACY REMAINS IN THE
INNUMERABLE STAFF. EVEN JUST
WITHIN THIS CHAMBER THERE'S AT
LEAST 11, I THINK, WHO HAVE
COME, WHO HAVE DIRECTLY
BENEFITED FROM HIS WISDOM AND
EXPERIENCE ON PROCESS AND
POLICY, AS WELL AS HIS INTEGRITY
AND CARE AND CHARACTER. AND, YOU
KNOW, ANOTHER STAFF TALKED ABOUT
HOW HE'S SO SMART AND HE'S
REALLY ABLE TO SEE THROUGH AND
CUT THROUGH THE NOISE AND SEE
THE HEART OF THE ISSUE AND THAT
HE'S REALLY THE KIND OF CHIEF
THAT OTHER STAFF ASPIRE TO BE,
AND SO BAR, WE'RE GOING TO MISS
HIM A LOT. A LOT OF US ARE GOING
TO MISS HIM, I KNOW HE'S JOINED
HERE TODAY BY HIS WIFE AND
DAUGHTER AND MOTHER IN LAW
FRIENDS, LIFETIME FRIENDS AND
FRIENDS FROM THE CAPITOL, AND OF
COURSE, CONGRESS MEMBER MULLIN.
TO HONOR HIS AMAZING WORK HERE
IN THE BUILDING, NOT ONLY HIS
WORK IN EVERY OFFICE THAT HE'S
WORKED IN, AND HE HAS JUST
ALWAYS, CONSTANTLY LANDING VERY
DIFFICULT BILLS. BUT ALSO THE
WORK THAT HE'S DONE TO SUPPORT
STAFF THROUGHOUT THE BUILDING.
AND SO, WE ARE GOING TO MISS YOU
VERY MUCH. WE ARE DEEPLY
GRATEFUL FOR ALL OF YOUR WORK,
AND I WANT TO PLEASE WISH OH, I
HAVE TO SAY SOMETHING ELSE. YOU
MAY ALSO KNOW HIM FROM REMEDY
SEVEN. HIS BAND. HOW COULD I
FORGET THAT? AND SO WE'RE VERY
EXCITED. HE ALSO ORGANIZES THE
LEGISLATIVE SKI TRIP, SO
SOMEONE'S GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE
UP THAT JOB IN HIS ABSENCE. BUT
I IMAGINE HE MIGHT STILL SHOW UP
THERE. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT HE
IS GOING TO BE ONE OF THE PEOPLE
WHO'S WALKING AROUND THE HALLS
OF THE BUILDING A LOT AFTER HE
RETIRES, HE IS GOING TO BE
SKIING 40 DAYS A YEAR. IF HE CAN
DO IT, AND PLAYING IN HIS BAND
AND LOVING EVERY MINUTE OF
RETIREMENT. AND I AM SO, SO
EXCITED FOR HIM. SO PLEASE HELP
ME IN THANKING HUGH BAUER FOR
HIS AMAZING WORK. THANK YOU.
VERY. MUCH. AT THIS TIME I.
WILL.
THANK YOU. ASSEMBLY MEMBER
XIAOBO. CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR
RETIREMENT, HUGH. JUST A SHOUT

BY ASSEMBLY MEMBER TO. RELATIVE

MEMBER TO YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER. AND
MEMBERS, I RISE TODAY TO PRESENT
H.R. 121, A RESOLUTION THAT
HONORS THE COURAGE AND
RESILIENCE OF THE VIETNAMESE
REFUGEE WHO FLED THEIR HOMELAND
FOLLOWING THE FALL OF SAIGON.
THIS RESOLUTION WOULD DESIGNATE
SEPTEMBER AS BOAT PEOPLE
AWARENESS MONTH AND THE WEEK OF
JULY 23RD AS BOAT PEOPLE
AWARENESS WEEK. AFTER THE FALL
OF SAIGON, MANY VIETNAMESE FACE
UNIMAGINABLE HARDSHIP AS THEY
EMBARK THE JOURNEY IN SEARCH OF
FREEDOM. THESE BRAVE INDIVIDUALS
ENCOUNTER NUMEROUS DANGERS,
INCLUDING PIRATE ATTACKS,
OVERCROWDED VESSEL, VIOLENT
STORM, AND SEVERE SHORTAGE OF
FOOD AND WATER. WHILE A FEW
THOUSAND PEOPLE HAD FLED VIETNAM
BY BOAT BETWEEN 1975 AND MID
1978, IT WAS IN SEPTEMBER 1978
THAT THE MASS EXODUS OF THE BOAT
PEOPLE TRULY BEGAN. BETWEEN 1978
AND 1995, NEARLY 800,000
VIETNAMESE REFUGEES RISKED THEIR
LIVES NAVIGATING THE TREACHEROUS
SEAS TO FIND SAFETY IN FOREIGN
LANDS. TRAGICALLY, IT IS
ESTIMATED THAT BETWEEN 200,000
AND 400,000 LIVES WERE LOST AT
SEA DURING THIS DESPERATE VOYAGE.
IT WAS IN JULY 1979 THAT THE
INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY, MOVED
BY THE PLIGHT OF THE BOAT
PEOPLE, CAME TOGETHER UNDER THE
UNITED NATIONS TO ADDRESS THIS
HUMANITARIAN CRISIS AS A. 121
SEEK TO RECOGNIZE THE IMPORTANCE
OF THIS EVENT BY ESTABLISHING
THE WEEK OF JULY 23RD TO 30TH AS
BOAT PEOPLE AWARENESS WEEK.
THANKS TO THE EFFORT OF THE UN,
THE UNITED STATES AND OTHER
NATIONS, COUNTLESS REFUGEES WERE
GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO REBUILD
THEIR LIVES IN SAFETY. IN 1980,
CONGRESS PASSED THE REFUGEE ACT,
WHICH FACILITATED THE
RESETTLEMENT OF THOUSANDS OF
VIETNAMESE REFUGEES IN THE US.
BY THE YEAR 2000, OVER 1 MILLION
PEOPLE OF VIETNAMESE DESCENT HAD
MADE AMERICA THEIR HOME, THE
MAJORITY OF WHICH SETTLED RIGHT
HERE IN CALIFORNIA. THE
VIETNAMESE BOAT PEOPLE NOW
CONTRIBUTE AND ENRICH OUR NATION
AND STATE EVERY DAY. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR VOTE
FOR H.R. 121. THANK YOU.
ASSEMBLY MEMBER. TO ASSEMBLY
MEMBER NGUYEN, YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MR.
SPEAKER. I RISE ON BEHALF OF THE
AAPI LEGISLATIVE CAUCUS IN
SUPPORT OF H.R. 121, MAKING
SEPTEMBER 2020 FOR BOAT PEOPLE
AWARENESS MONTH. MY PARENTS WERE
A PART OF THE 800,000 THAT
ESCAPED VIETNAM. THEIR ONLY
COUNTRY, THE HOMELAND OF MY
PEOPLE AT SEA. IN THAT BIG SEA,
FACING THE UNKNOWN, FACING
DANGEROUS NIGHTS AND DAYS. BUT
THEY DID IT. THEY DID IT TO
START OUT NEW LIFE. NEW LIFE FOR
THEIR FAMILY. NEW LIFE FOR THEIR
CHILDREN. NEW LIFE FOR
THEMSELVES. TODAY'S RESOLUTION
IS MORE THAN JUST A DESIGNATION.
IT'S A TRIBUTE TO THOSE WHO
RISKED EVERYTHING AT A CHANCE
FOR FREEDOM. ON BEHALF OF THE
AAPI LEGISLATIVE CAUCUS, I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR VOTE.
THANK YOU. ASSEMBLY MEMBER
NGUYEN. SOME MEMBER. GALLAGHER,
YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. YES. THANK
YOU, MR. SPEAKER. MEMBERS, I
ALSO WANTED TO RISE IN SUPPORT
OF H.R. 121 AND RECENTLY HAD THE
OPPORTUNITY TO BE IN LITTLE
SAIGON WITH THE AUTHOR, AND ONE
OF THE PLACES THAT WE VISITED
WAS A MEMORIAL TO THE BOAT
PEOPLE, AND I WAS JUST STRUCK, I
DON'T THINK I HAD REALLY KNOWN
THAT STORY OF HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS WHO WERE FLEEING BY,
YOU KNOW, EVEN AFTER, YOU KNOW,
THE IMMEDIATE FALL OF, OF
SAIGON, THE HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS WHO WERE TRYING TO
LEAVE IN BOATS. AND THERE WAS A
MEMORIAL THERE IN WESTMINSTER
THAT REALLY SHOWS, THE NAMES, SO
MANY NAMES, TOO MANY NAMES, AND
IT STRUCK ME A LITTLE BIT AS
SIMILAR TO MY ANCESTORS WHO CAME
FROM IRELAND. HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS DIED IN THE VOYAGE
ACROSS THE ATLANTIC, COMING, YOU
KNOW, TO AMERICA, VERY SIMILAR
TO WHAT THE VIETNAMESE
EXPERIENCED, AND IT ALSO STRUCK
ME THAT LOOK, COMMUNISM AND WHAT
HAPPENED, YOU KNOW, WHEN THE
NORTH TOOK OVER, IT WAS IT WAS
TERRIBLE. AND SO MANY WHO WERE
AFFECTED BY THAT COMMUNISM IS
NOT HARMLESS. AND WE HAD A
SIMILAR RESOLUTION NOT TOO LONG
AGO WHERE WE TALKED ABOUT THAT
MILLIONS WHO HAVE BEEN KILLED
UNDER COMMUNIST REGIMES,
AUTHORITARIAN REGIMES WHERE
THEIR LIVES, THEIR FREEDOMS WERE
COMPLETELY TAKEN AWAY, AND THE
ONLY WAY WAS TO ESCAPE. THE ONLY
WAY WAS TO ESCAPE TO FREEDOM,
AND THEY FOUND THAT HERE IN
AMERICA. AND I TALKED TO SO MANY
PEOPLE WHO HAD THAT SAME
EXPERIENCE, YOU KNOW, THAT CAME
HERE TO AMERICA AND FINALLY HAD
THAT OPPORTUNITY WHERE THEY
COULD HAVE THAT FREEDOM, WHERE
THEY COULD START A BUSINESS,
WHERE THEY COULD PURSUE THEIR
DREAM, WHERE IT WASN'T SOMEONE
ELSE TELLING THEM, YOU KNOW
WHAT? YOU COULD AND COULD NOT
DO. AND THAT EXISTS TO THIS DAY.
AND I THINK IT'S A REMINDER FOR
US, IT'S LIKE THAT'S HAPPENING
RIGHT NOW WITH THE UYGHURS IN
CHINA. YOU KNOW, THAT IS
HAPPENING IN FAR TOO MANY OF THE
COMMUNIST COUNTRIES THAT'S
HAPPENING IN VENEZUELA RIGHT
NOW. AND WE SEE THE PEOPLE
COMING OUT AS A DICTATOR, A
COMMUNIST DICTATOR CONTINUES TO
TRY TO HOLD ON TO POWER, IN
VENEZUELA, THESE THINGS ARE
HAPPENING NOW. AND SO I THINK
IT'S A REMINDER TO US, THAT WE
NEED TO BE EVER VIGILANT
STANDING AGAINST THESE COMMUNIST
REGIMES WHO HAVE DESTROYED
MILLIONS OF LIVES. AND THIS IS
ONLY ONE EXAMPLE. AND I THANK
THE AUTHOR FOR BRINGING THIS.
IT'S AN IMPORTANT THING THAT WE
THAT WE REMEMBER THIS, THAT WE
ACKNOWLEDGE IT AND THAT WE MOVE
FORWARD TODAY IN SOLIDARITY.
SOLIDARITY. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU. ASSEMBLY MEMBER GALLAGHER.
ASSEMBLY MEMBER JIM PATTERSON,
YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU. I
TOO, RISE TO SUPPORT THIS
RESOLUTION, ALTHOUGH MY OLDEST
SON, BJ, WAS NOT PART OF THE
BOAT PEOPLE, HE WAS PICKED UP ON
THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AT 18
MONTHS OLD BY TWO GIS IN APRIL
OF 1975, WHEN SAIGON WAS FALLING.
AND FOR THEM TO HAVE DELAYED
THEIR EFFORT AT EVACUATION TO
PICK THAT LITTLE GUY UP, TAKE
HIM TO A CATHOLIC ORPHANAGE
WHERE HE WAS CARED FOR A COUPLE
OF WEEKS, AND THEN PUT ON THE
C-5A OPERATION BABYLIFT A LOT OF
FOLKS CAME TO THE UNITED STATES
IN BOATS. BJ AND OVER 3000
OTHERS CAME TO THE UNITED STATES
IN A C-5A, HE IS TODAY A
PLUMBING CONTRACTOR IN FRESNO,
CALIFORNIA. HE'S 52 YEARS OLD
AND I CAN'T TELL YOU WHAT HE HAS
MEANT TO US. A REAL BLESSING.
AND SO ALTHOUGH HE CAME A LITTLE
DIFFERENT WAY, HE NONETHELESS
WAS PROTECTED AND CARED FOR BY
TWO IMPORTANT INSTITUTIONS THAT
HAVE VALUE IN THE UNITED STATES.
OUR SERVICE MEMBERS AND THE
CATHOLIC MINISTRIES OF
ORPHANAGE. AND WHEN THOSE TWO
INDIVIDUALS PICKED HIM UP, THEY
WERE DOING THEIR THEIR DUTY,
EVEN AT A TIME WHEN THEY WERE AT
RISK. AND WHEN THOSE NUNS TOOK
CARE OF LITTLE BJ, HE WAS
NOURISHED AND HE WAS FOUND IN
PRETTY SERIOUS CONDITION. BUT
TODAY HE'S HEALTHY, MARRIED,
OWNS HIS OWN HOME, HAS HIS OWN
BUSINESS, AND HE IS AN ABSOLUTE
VOICE IN MY EAR ABOUT THE
BLESSING OF BEING IN THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA. HE'LL SAY,
DAD, IF THOSE TWO GI'S HADN'T
PICKED ME UP, IF THOSE, IF THOSE
NUNS HADN'T CARED FOR ME, IF
PRESIDENT FORD HADN'T SENT THE
C-5A OVER, IF YOU DIDN'T ADOPT
ME, I'D BE PROBABLY STILL IN A
COMMUNIST COUNTRY. MAYBE BEHIND
A WATER BUFFALO IN A RICE PADDY,
AND WOULD NOT BE FREE. HE IS A
JOYOUS AND GRATEFUL VIETNAMESE
AMERICAN CITIZEN OF THE UNITED
STATES, AND HE'S BRIAN JAMES
PATTERSON. I LOVE HIM AND I
APPRECIATE ALL OF THE OF THE
WORK THAT SO MANY PEOPLE DID AT
A TIME WHEN DOING THIS.
GOODNESS, THESE TWO GI'S MAYBE
EVEN RISKED THEIR OWN THEIR OWN
LIVES. AND SO I JOIN WITH
OTHERS, AND WE LIVE WITH THE JOY
OF THAT SON AND A REMEMBRANCE OF
THOSE WHO HELPED HIM COME TO US.
NOW, HIS AIRPLANE, BY THE WAY,
WAS THE C-5. FIRST C-5A THAT
LEFT. IT CRASHED AND HE SURVIVED
THAT CRASH. PUT ON ANOTHER C-5A
AND WE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY.
THERE'S AN ASSOCIATION OF FAMILY
MEMBERS WHO'VE ADOPTED THESE
CHILDREN, AND I HAD THE
OPPORTUNITY OF MEETING THE PILOT
OF THAT C-5A THAT ALTHOUGH THE
PLANE MISSED THE RUNWAY COMING
BACK TO SAIGON, HE THE BJ WAS,
WAS SAVED IN THAT ONE, SO IF
YOU'RE INTERESTED IN THE
DETAILS, IT'S OPERATION
BABYLIFT. IT'LL TUG AT YOUR
HEART, AND I JUST WANTED TO
STAND AND JUST SAY THANKS TO,
THE MEMBER FROM LITTLE SAIGON,
TO OUR VIETNAMESE FEMALE MEMBER.
I FEEL A REAL KINSHIP WITH HER.
AND HER STORY. YOU KNOW, WE WERE
JUST. WE WERE JUST GOD'S
BACKSTOP FOR BJ. YOU KNOW? HE
NEEDED A SET OF CIRCUMSTANCES TO
HAPPEN, AND THEY DID. AND AS A
RESULT, HE WAS SAVED. AS A
RESULT, HE'S FREE. AS A RESULT,
HE HAS HIS OWN BUSINESS. AS A
RESULT, HE HAS HIS OWN HOME. Ó.
AND BY THE WAY, HE MARRIED AN
ACCOUNTANT. EVERY FAMILY NEEDS A
PLUMBER AND AN ACCOUNTANT IN
THEM. SO ANYWAY, WE'VE BEEN
BLESSED AND I WANTED TO JOIN
OTHERS, SO I RISE TO SUPPORT
THIS AS WELL. ALTHOUGH OUR GIFT
WAS THROUGH THE AIR, HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS WERE GIFTED TO THE
UNITED STATES, ON THE SEA. SO
GOD BLESS EVERYBODY THAT LEFT
THAT COMMUNIST PLACE AND CAME TO
FREEDOM AND OPPORTUNITY. AND BJ
WAS ONE OF THEM. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, MR. PATTERSON. MR.
TODD, WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE ON

MEMBER BLANCO RUBIO. THE CLERK

ACT RELATING TO RESTRAINING
ORDERS. THANK YOU. ASSEMBLY
MEMBER RUBIO, YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. GOOD AFTERNOON, MR.
SPEAKER AND MEMBERS. THANK YOU
FOR ALLOWING ME TO THE
OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT SB 554,
THE SURVIVORS PROTECTION ACT, ON
BEHALF OF SENATOR CORTESE.
CURRENT LAW IN CALIFORNIA FAILS
TO OUTLINE JURISDICTIONAL
RESPONSIBILITY FOR RESTRAINING
ORDER PETITIONS. THIS GAP OFTEN
CAUSES COURTS TO DISMISS OR DENY
ORDERS WHEN PARTIES ARE IN
DIFFERENT STATES, EVEN IF THE
SURVIVOR FLED FOR SAFETY
PURPOSES. SB 55 ALLOWS SURVIVORS
TO PETITION FOR A RESTRAINING
ORDER IN A CALIFORNIA COURT IF
THE DEFENDANT IS A RESIDENT OF
CALIFORNIA, AS WELL AS IF THE
CRIME WAS COMMITTED IN THE
STATE, REGARDLESS OF THE
SURVIVOR'S RESIDENCY STATUS.
THIS LANGUAGE ALREADY EXISTS IN
26 OTHER STATES ACROSS THE
COUNTRY. THE NATURE OF ABUSE HAS
TRANSFORMED, AND SO MUST OUR
LAWS. MODERN TECHNOLOGY PROVIDES
PERPETRATORS A VARIETY OF NEW
TOOLS TO HARASS AND COMMIT
VIOLENCE AGAINST SURVIVORS. THE
NEED FOR THIS BILL IS TREMENDOUS.
INTERSTATE VIOLENCE IS NOW THE
NORM, NOT THE EXCEPTION. WHEN
THE SURVIVOR IS UNPROTECTED, IT
IS THE PERPETRATOR THAT IS SAFE.
IT IS TIME. IT IS TIME.
INTERSTATE VIOLENCE IS MET WITH
INTERSTATE PROTECTION.
PERPETRATORS HAVE NO BORDERS.
NEITHER SHOULD A SURVIVORS
PROTECTION. PROTECTION. THANK
YOU. AND I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
AN AYE VOTE. THANK YOU. ASSEMBLY

YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH, MR. SPEAKER. I RISE
TO PRESENT SB 1458 BY SENATOR
ALLEN, WHICH WOULD IMPROVE THE
ABILITY OF FIDUCIARIES TO ACCESS
AND MANAGE DIGITAL ASSETS. THE
REVISED UNIFORM FIDUCIARY ACCESS
TO DIGITAL ASSETS ACT MODERNIZED
FIDUCIARY LAW TO ADDRESS THE
SHIFT FROM PHYSICAL DOCUMENTS
AND BANK DEPOSITS TO ELECTRONIC
RECORDS AND PROPERTY. HOWEVER,
CURRENT LAW GENERALLY ONLY
APPLIES TO FIDUCIARIES ACTING
AFTER THE DEATH OF A PERSON FOR
WHOM THEY ARE FIDUCIARY AGENTS
ACTING UNDER THE POWER OF
ATTORNEY, AND CONSERVATORS DO
NOT HAVE CLEAR LEGAL AUTHORITY
TO ACCESS AND MANAGE DIGITAL
ASSETS. THIS HAS LIMITED THE
ABILITY OF THOSE FIDUCIARIES TO
DO THEIR JOBS TO THE DETRIMENT
OF INDIVIDUALS WHO MAY BE IN
NEED OF A FIDUCIARY. WHILE
LIVING, BECAUSE THEY ARE UNABLE
TO MANAGE THEIR OWN AFFAIRS.
THIS BILL ADDS AGENTS ACTING
UNDER A POWER OF ATTORNEY AND
CONSERVATORS TO THE STATUTORY
SCHEME, GIVING THESE FIDUCIARIES
THE LEGAL AUTHORITY TO MANAGE
DIGITAL ASSETS AND ELECTRONIC
COMMUNICATIONS. THIS BILL HAS
RECEIVED BIPARTISAN SUPPORT AND
HAS NO OPPOSITION. ON BEHALF OF

SOME MEMBER KALRA YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MR.
SPEAKER. SB 1022 PROVIDES
CALIFORNIA CIVIL RIGHTS
DEPARTMENT THE TIME NEEDED TO
EFFECTIVELY INVESTIGATE AND
RESPOND TO SYSTEMIC
DISCRIMINATION. DISCRIMINATION
COMPLAINTS TO THE CIVIL RIGHTS
DEPARTMENT ARE USUALLY BASED ON
RACE, GENDER, GENDER IDENTITY,
SEXUALITY AND DISABILITY AND CAN
INCLUDE SERIOUS VIOLATIONS OF
RIGHTS. THE CIVIL RIGHTS
DEPARTMENT INVESTIGATES
THOUSANDS OF CIVIL RIGHTS CLAIMS
ANNUALLY. THEY MEDIATE AND
SETTLE MANY CASES, BUT SOME
COMPLAINTS MAY COME FROM
MULTIPLE PARTIES AGAINST THE
SAME ENTITY OVER A PERIOD OF
YEARS. SUCH COMPLAINTS, REFERRED
TO AS DIRECTORS COMPLAINTS, CAN
BE COMPLEX AND REQUIRE
ADDITIONAL TIME TO INVESTIGATE.
SB 1022 ADDRESSES THIS
CIRCUMSTANCE BY GIVING CRD THE
ABILITY TO INVESTIGATE SYSTEMIC
VIOLATIONS OVER A SEVEN YEAR
PERIOD. SB 1022 DOES NOT CHANGE
THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS FOR
LAWSUITS FILED BY AN INDIVIDUAL.
SB 1022 ONLY AFFECTS DIRECTORS
COMPLAINTS AND BRINGS
CALIFORNIA'S PROCESS IN CLOSER
ALIGNMENT TO THE FEDERAL PROCESS

PLEASED TO PRESENT SB 1137 ON
BEHALF OF SENATOR SMALLWOOD
CUEVAS, WHICH WOULD MAKE
CALIFORNIA THE PIONEERING STATE
TO RECOGNIZE INTERSECTIONAL IN
OUR CIVIL RIGHTS LAWS BY
CLARIFYING THAT DISCRIMINATION
IS PROHIBITED BECAUSE OF NOT
ONLY ONE PROTECTED TRAIT, BUT
ALSO ANY COMBINATION OF TWO OR
MORE PROTECTED TRAITS. UNDER
CURRENT LAW, ALL INDIVIDUALS ARE
PROTECTED FROM DISCRIMINATION,
BUT THESE CASES ARE EXACERBATED
WHEN AN INDIVIDUAL HAS
EXPERIENCED DISCRIMINATION BASED
ON A COMBINATION OR INTERSECTION
OF PROTECTED CLASSES. FOR
EXAMPLE, WHEN A BLACK WOMAN
BRINGS FORWARD A DISCRIMINATION
CASE, SHE MAY BE FORCED TO
ADDRESS HER RACE AND GENDER
CLAIMS SEPARATELY. IN CASES
WHERE INTERSECTIONAL
DISCRIMINATION OCCURS, THE
DEFENSE MAY ATTEMPT TO USE THE
SEPARATION OF CHARACTERISTICS TO
DEFEAT THE CLAIM ENTIRELY.
COURTS THROUGHOUT THE NATION
HAVE RULED ON THESE CASES
INCONSISTENTLY AND LARGELY ON A
CASE BY CASE BASIS.
INTERSECTIONALITY DISCRIMINATION
IS NOT LIMITED TO RACE AND
GENDER DISCRIMINATION CAN BE
ALSO EXPRESSED BASED ON ONE'S
AGE, RACE, OR NATIONAL ORIGIN,
OR ANY COMBINATION OF PROTECTED
CLASSES. THOSE OF US WHO LIVE AT
THE INTERSECTION OF MULTIPLE
PROTECTED CLASSES KNOW THAT
THESE EXPERIENCES CANNOT ALWAYS
BE NEARLY NEATLY SEPARATED. WE
CARRY ALL OF OUR IDENTITIES WITH
US AT ALL TIMES, AND IT IS
NECESSARY THAT OUR LAWS REFLECT
REFLECTS THIS. AND I

ASSEMBLY MEMBER AGUIAR-CURRY YOU
ARE RECOGNIZED FOR YOUR
ADJOURNMENT IN MEMORY. GOOD
AFTERNOON, MR. SPEAKER, AND
MEMBERS. I RISE TODAY TO ADJOURN
IN MEMORY OF A TRAILBLAZER, A
FIERCE ADVOCATE FOR ALL
CALIFORNIANS AND ESPECIALLY
CHILDREN. SHE WAS A DEAR FRIEND
OF MINE AND MENTOR TO SO MANY
OTHERS, AND SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN
IN MY CORNER FROM THE VERY
BEGINNING. THE HONORABLE DELAINE
EASTON. SHE WAS THE FIFTH WOMAN
IN CALIFORNIA HAS HISTORY TO BE
ELECTED TO THE STATEWIDE
CONSTITUTIONAL OFFICE AND THE
ONLY WOMAN TO SERVE AS
SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC
INSTRUCTION. DELAINE PASSED AWAY
PEACEFULLY ON APRIL 23RD,
SURROUNDED BY LOVED ONES. SHE
WAS 76 AND MEMBERS TONIGHT,
RAISE A GLASS OF WINE TOMORROW
IS HER BIRTHDAY AND SHE LOVED TO
KNOW THAT WE WERE ALL
CELEBRATING HER. BORN IN SAN
DIEGO, DELAINE PRIMARILY GREW UP
IN SAN CARLOS. DELAINE WAS
RAISED BY HER BLUE COLLAR
PARENTS, HANK, A MACHINIST, AND
DOTTIE, A STORE CLERK, BOTH WHO
HAD NEVER ATTENDED COLLEGE. BUT
THEY STRESSED THE IMPORTANCE OF
EDUCATION. THEY TOOK OUT A
SECOND MORTGAGE ON THEIR HOME TO
PAY FOR HER COLLEGE EXPENSES.
EDUCATION CHANGED MY LIFE
FOREVER, EASTON SAID IN A 218
INTERVIEW. 2018 INTERVIEW. I
WANT THAT FOR EVERY KID. WHILE
ATTENDING CLAREMONT CARLMONT
HIGH SCHOOL, A DRAMA TEACHER
ENCOURAGED DELAINE TO TRY OUT
FOR A PART IN THE MAN WHO CAME
TO DINNER. I CAN JUST SEE
DELAINE DISMISSING THAT IDEA,
BUT THE TEACHER RESPONDED, IF
YOU NEVER TRY OUT, YOU WILL
NEVER GET THE PART. THAT ADVICE
STUCK WITH DELAINE FOR THE REST
OF HER LIFE. OH, AND BY THE WAY,
SHE GOT THE PART. DELAINE EARNED
A BACHELOR'S DEGREE FROM UC
DAVIS IN 1969 AND A MASTER'S
FROM UC SANTA BARBARA IN 1971,
BOTH IN POLITICAL SCIENCE. SHE
TAUGHT AT A COMMUNITY COLLEGE AT
COMMUNITY COLLEGES AND WORKED IN
THE PRIVATE SECTOR BEFORE BEING
ELECTED TO HER FIRST OFFICE
UNION CITY CITY COUNCIL, IN
1980. DELAINE THEN WAS ELECTED
TO THE ASSEMBLY IN 1986, AND WAS
PART OF THE BIGGEST CLASS OF
FRESHMAN FRESHMAN WOMEN IN THE
HISTORY OF CALIFORNIA AT THE
TIME, FIVE IN THE MID 80S, WOMEN
MEMBERS HAD TO STAND UP FOR EACH
OTHER AND SUPPORT EACH OTHER
BECAUSE THEY WOULD BE DISMISSED
AND SPOKEN DOWN TO BY THEIR MALE
COLLEAGUES. DELAINE TOLD A
REPORTER THAT SHE REMEMBERED IN
THE EARLY DAYS, THERE WERE
PEOPLE WHO WOULDN'T LET HER ON.
THE MEMBERS ELEVATOR BECAUSE SHE
WAS A GIRL. DELAINE FURTHER
RECALLED AN ASSEMBLY LEADER
REFERRED TO THE WOMEN'S CAUCUS
AS THE LIPSTICK CAUCUS. HE
ULTIMATELY APOLOGIZED. DELAINE
SERVED IN THE ASSEMBLY UNTIL
1994, AND THEN SERVED AS PUBLIC
SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC
INSTRUCTION FROM 1995 TO 2003.
DELAINE AND HER THEN HUSBAND
DESPERATELY WANTED CHILDREN, BUT
WERE NEVER BLESSED. AFTER SHE
WAS ELECTED AS SUPERINTENDENT,
HE SAID TO HER, WELL, NOW YOU
HAVE 6.1 MILLION CHILDREN. AND
SO SHE DID. SUPERINTENDENT
DELAINE WORKED TIRELESSLY TO GET
PROGRESSIVE WOMEN ELECTED TO
PUBLIC OFFICE. SHE SERVED AS A
BOARD CHAIR OF THE CLOSE THE GAP
AND WAS ALWAYS A FEATURED
SPEAKER AT EMERGE CALIFORNIA
SESSIONS, WHERE SHE CAPTIVATED
ENTIRE AUDIENCES OF FUTURE
LEADERS. AS FOR MY OWN PERSONAL
RELATIONSHIP AND JOURNEY WITH
DELAINE, IT WAS DELAINE WHO
ENCOURAGED ME TO RUN. SHE WAS
ONE OF MY FIRST AND ONE OF MY
BIGGEST SUPPORTERS, AND SHE WAS
MY ROCK. SHE WAS MY FRIEND. SHE
USED TO SAY TO ME, CECILIA, MAKE
SURE YOU GO TO THAT ASSEMBLY AND
TELL EVERYBODY THEY NEED A
BACKBONE, A BRASS BACKBONE. AND
THAT'S WHAT I TRY TO DO EVERY
DAY. SHE AND I ALWAYS KNEW SHE
HAD MY BACK, AND I'M STANDING ON
THE SHOULDER OF A GIANT. LET US
ALL EMPOWER THE FUTURE
GENERATIONS OF LEADERS TO ENSURE
WOMEN'S VOICES ARE HEARD. LET'S
MAKE DELAINE PROUD BY ELECTING
MORE WOMEN TO OFFICE AND TO
CONSTITUTIONAL OFFICES. DELAINE
IS SURVIVED BY HER CHOSEN
DAUGHTERS, DAISY GONZALEZ, WHO
IS A DEPUTY CHANCELLOR OF THE
STATE'S COMMUNITY COLLEGE
SYSTEM, AND MAHA IBRAHIM, A
LAWYER WITH EQUAL RIGHTS
ADVOCATES AND SEVERAL COUSINS
AND NIECES AND NEPHEWS. YOU TWO
MEANT THE WORLD TO HER. SHE WAS
SO PROUD OF YOU. AND SHE WOULD
TELL ME THAT. DO YOU KNOW THE
GIRLS THEY ARE? THEY'RE GOING
PLACES. SHE WAS A GREAT MOTHER
TO YOU ON THE ASSEMBLY FLOOR. I
WOULD LIKE TO RECOGNIZE. AND SO
I HAVE SOME IN THE GALLERY AS
WELL. IS DAISY AND ABRAMS HERE?
I BELIEVE THERE'S OTHERS. BUT I
WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING
HERE TODAY. MEMBERS, I
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT YOU
JOIN ME IN A JOURNEY IN THE
MEMORY OF THE HONORABLE, TOUGH
AS TOUGHEST WOMAN I'VE EVER MET.
THE HONORABLE DELAINE EASTIN.
SHE WILL BE FOREVER REMEMBERED
FOR HER BOUNDLESS INTELLECT OR
HER COMPASSIONATE SPIRIT, HER
SHARP, SHARP SENSE OF HUMOR,
COURAGEOUS LEADERSHIP, AND
INSPIRATION TO CURRENT AND
FUTURE GENERATIONS. BLESS YOU MY
GIRLFRIEND. HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
THANK YOU. ASSEMBLY MEMBER
AGUIAR-CURRY ASSEMBLY MEMBER
MCCARTY, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED FOR
YOUR ADJOURNMENT AND MEMORY.
THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER. I'D LIKE
TO JOIN MY COLLEAGUE FROM YOLO
COUNTY IN ADJOURNING IN MEMORY
OF DELAINE EASTON, WHO WAS A
TRAILBLAZER. I'M GOING TO TALK
ABOUT TOMORROW IN MY IN MY FINAL
MONTH IN THE ASSEMBLY, WHEN I
STARTED AS AN INTERN HERE IN THE
CAPITOL IN 1994, THERE WAS A
GENERATION OF PEOPLE LEAVING THE
STATE ASSEMBLY. YOU KNOW, THERE
WERE THE LEGENDS LIKE WILLIE
BROWN AND JOHN BURTON, BUT THERE
WAS ALSO DELAINE EASTON. AND I
REMEMBER WHEN SHE GOT UP AND PUT
UP HER MIC, PEOPLE PAID
ATTENTION BECAUSE SHE SPOKE
TRUTH TO POWER. BUT SHE WAS AN
AMAZING ORDER TALK. SHE COULD
REALLY CAPTURE A ROOM. AND FAST
FORWARD 20 YEARS LATER WHEN I
HAD THE CHANCE TO WORK ON EARLY
EDUCATION ISSUES WHEN WE WANTED
TO HAVE A BIG SPEAKER OR A BIG
CONFERENCE, WE WANTED TO FOCUS
ON WHO SHOULD BE OUR KEYNOTE OR
GET SOMEONE'S ATTENTION. IT WAS
DELAINE EASTON BECAUSE SHE COULD
REALLY CONNECT THE DOTS AS FAR
AS WHY INVESTING IN EDUCATION
MEANS SO MUCH. AND I MAY GET
THIS WRONG. AND MAYBE ONE OF
HER, HER, HER FORMER STAFFERS
WILL CORRECT ME, BUT SHE ALWAYS
SAYS I BELIEVE IN THE STATE
CONSTITUTION. SHE SAYS THE VERY
FIRST THING THAT WE TALK ABOUT
IS INVESTING IN EDUCATION,
INVESTING OUR KIDS. SO SHE SAYS,
WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE BUDGET
OF PROP 98, NO, IT'S THE NUMBER
ONE THING. WHEN YOU OPEN UP THE
STATE CONSTITUTION, WE SHOULD
INVEST IN. AND SO SHE DID, SPEAK
TRUTH TO POWER AND BELIEVE IN
OUR 6 MILLION KIDS IN PUBLIC
EDUCATION. AND SHE WAS ELECTED
TO STATE SUPERINTENDENT OF
PUBLIC INSTRUCTION. AND THAT JOB
ISN'T ALWAYS AN EASY JOB, BUT
SHE MADE SURE THAT JOB WAS
RELEVANT, AND SHE FOCUSED ON
MAKING SURE THAT SHE HELPED
DISTRICTS ACROSS THE STATE. IT
WASN'T JUST A PLANT, A CHANCE TO
GO OVER THERE AND HANG OUT AND
WORK ON SPEECHES AND PRESS
RELEASES, SHE WENT ACROSS
CALIFORNIA TO TRY TO IMPROVE
PUBLIC SCHOOLS, CHAMPIONED
LEGISLATION, AND SO ALL THE WORK
THAT WE'VE BEEN DOING TODAY,
IMPROVING OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS, IS
BUILT UPON HER WORK. AND LASTLY,
I WANT TO SAY THAT IN MY FINAL
WEEKS HERE IN THE CAPITOL, A LOT
OF PEOPLE HAVE ASKED ME, WHAT
WHAT WILL YOU REMEMBER THE MOST
ABOUT? WHAT WAS THE BILL THAT
YOU WORKED ON THAT YOU THINK
WILL HAVE THE LASTING LEGACY?
AND BY FAR, I WILL SAY IS MY LAW
TO MAKE UNIVERSAL PRESCHOOL FREE
AND ACCESSIBLE FOR ALL
CALIFORNIANS AND, YOU KNOW,
SUCCESS HAS MANY FATHERS AND
FAILURES AND ORPHANS. SO I HAD
MANY COAUTHORS AND JOINT
AUTHORS. MR. TÍNH, WHO CERVANTES
MANY OF YOU HAD YOUR NAME ON
THAT BILL WITH US AND EVENTUALLY
GOT PASSED THROUGH THE BUDGET
ACT. BUT WHEN I WHEN I FOCUSED
ON THIS BIG WIN IN 2021, I WENT
AND DID THE RESEARCH AND LOOKED
AT THE PAST 30 YEARS AND WHO HAD
INTRODUCED FREE UNIVERSAL
PRESCHOOL BILLS IN CALIFORNIA.
AND THERE WAS ABOUT TEN MEMBERS
WHO HAD INTRODUCED THE BILL OVER
20 YEARS, AND THEY NEVER GOT
THEIR BILL SIGNED INTO LAW. IT
TOOK THE LINING OF THE STARS TO
IT ALL WORK OUT. BUT THE VERY
FIRST BILL INTRODUCED FOR
UNIVERSAL PRESCHOOL IN
CALIFORNIA WAS INTRODUCED BY
DELAINE EASTIN. SO SHE WAS A
PIONEER ON THESE THINGS WELL
BEFORE US. AND SO HER LEGACY
LIVES ON. AND I ALSO WANT TO
JOIN MY COLLEAGUE FROM YOLO
COUNTY AND HER FAMILY AND
FRIENDS AND SUPPORTERS AND
ENDURING HER MEMORY, AND
REMEMBER HER WORK ON BEHALF OF
THE KIDS OF CALIFORNIA. THANK
YOU. THANK YOU SO, MEMBER
MCCARTY, AND JUST A THANK YOU TO
FAMILY AND FRIENDS WHO ARE WITH
US TODAY. AND YOU HAVE OUR
DEEPEST CONDOLENCES. ASSEMBLY

RECOGNIZED FOR YOUR ADJOURNMENTS
