MORE OF A MORE OF A RESPECT AND
A TIMING ISSUE. SO, WITH THAT, I
JUST WANT TO NOTE TODAY IS
NATIONAL DOG DAY, SO IF YOU ANY
OTHER FOLKS WITH DOGS I KNOW.
WOW, THAT SOUNDED MORE LIKE A
WEREWOLF, MEMBER FROM LOS

CONCERNED. SO. SO MEMBERS. WE

HONORING DEPARTING STAFF. AND I
HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF HONORING
MY ESTEEMED CHIEF OF STAFF,
KATHY MUDGE, MY DISTRICT
DIRECTOR, DIRECTOR, RUTH

BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF THE
WEEK, HERE, MEMBERS, I'M VERY
FORTUNATE TO HAVE AN AMAZING
TEAM, AS I KNOW ALL OF YOU DO,
AS WELL, I WANT TO SAY A FEW
WORDS ABOUT EACH OF THESE
AMAZING, AMAZING TEAM MEMBERS,
FIRST WE'LL START WITH NICOLE.
NICOLE CURRAN ON THE ON YOUR
LEFT. UP UP THERE. NICOLE IS OUR
SCHEDULER. NICOLE HAS BEEN IN
THIS BUILDING IN AND OUT OF THIS
BUILDING FOR, WELL OVER 20
YEARS. SHE'S KNOWN BY SO MANY
PEOPLE. SHE AT ONE POINT WAS
WORKED FOR ASSEMBLY SPEAKER JOHN
PEREZ. SHE'S BEEN IN OUR OFFICE
FOR MANY YEARS. SHE IS A SMILING
VOICE Ã A WONDERFUL VOICE ON
THE END OF THE ON THE OTHER END
OF THE PHONE. AND CERTAINLY
DURING COVID, SHE TOOK IT UPON
HERSELF TO DO A LOT OF HELP WITH
A CONSTITUENT WORK AROUND ED
ISSUES AND JUST A VARIETY OF
ISSUES. SHE'S ALWAYS GOT A
SMILE, SHE WILL BE LEAVING
LEAVING THE BUILDING TO PURSUE
AN OPPORTUNITY OUTSIDE THE
BUILDING, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN
SHE'S GOING AWAY. YOU'LL STILL
GET A CHANCE TO HEAR HER VOICE
AND SEE HER SMILING FACE IN
ANOTHER WAY. SO I WANT TO SAY
THANK YOU SO MUCH TO NICOLE.
NEXT IN THE CENTER IS RUTH
VALENZUELA. RUTH IS OUR DISTRICT
DIRECTOR. WE HAVE AN ENORMOUS
DISTRICT. WE HAVE THREE DISTRICT
OFFICES. AND RIGHT NOW SHE'S THE
ONLY STAFF MEMBER IN ACTUALLY IN
THE DISTRICT, HOLDING DOWN THREE
DIFFERENT OFFICES. RUTH HAS
WORKED FOR THE LEGISLATURE FOR.
I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY HOW MANY
YEARS, BUT I WILL TELL YOU 20.
OKAY THANK YOU FOR THAT.
APPRECIATE. SO SHE WORKED FOR MY
PREDECESSOR, WESLEY CHESBRO, FOR
SIX YEARS. SHE ALSO WORKED FOR
ASSEMBLY MEMBER PATTY BERG FOR
SEVERAL YEARS BEFORE THAT AS
WELL. SO SHE HAS WORKED WITH
THREE DIFFERENT MEMBERS. SHE
LIVES IN MENDOCINO COUNTY. SHE
LIVES OFF THE GRID. SO WHEN WE
TALK ABOUT FIRE INSURANCE AND
ELECTRICITY AND BROADBAND, SHE
LIVES IT EVERY DAY. SHE AND HER
HUSBAND BUILT THEIR HOME, AND
THEY LIVE OFF THE GRID, AS I
THINK I JUST SAID. SHE IS AN
AMAZING, AMAZING STAFF MEMBER.
AND WORK HER WORK WITH
CONSTITUENTS AND HER WORK
SUPPORTING US HERE IN SACRAMENTO
IS SECOND TO NONE. THANK YOU SO
VERY MUCH FOR EVERYTHING YOU'VE
DONE, RUTH.
AND CERTAINLY LAST BUT NOT LEAST
IS MY CHIEF OF STAFF, KATHY
MUDGE, WHO'S BEEN WITH US FOR
NEARLY A DECADE NOW, MY
RELATIONSHIP WITH KATHY GOES
BACK TO 1997, WHEN I FIRST MET
HER AT THE CALIFORNIA DENTAL
ASSOCIATION. SHE WAS HIRED BY A
PERSON YOU ALL KNOW HERE IN THIS
BUILDING, LIZ SNOW, WHO IS THE
SPEAKER'S CHIEF OF STAFF. AND,
SHE WORKED. SHE ACTUALLY STARTED
HER CAREER WORKING FOR CMA BACK
IN 1990. AND SHE THEN WENT TO
THE INSURANCE INDUSTRY AND THEN
IN 1997, WENT TO THE CALIFORNIA
DENTAL ASSOCIATION UNTIL SHE
CAME TO WORK HERE IN THE
BUILDING, IN HER ROLE IN THE
DENTAL ASSOCIATION, SHE WORKED
IN MANAGING OUR GOVERNMENT
AFFAIRS DIVISION. SHE WAS WENT
ON TO BE THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
OF THE FOUNDATION FOR THE DENTAL
ASSOCIATION PRIOR, PRIOR TO
COMING HERE. IT'S BEEN AN
AMAZING I CAN'T BELIEVE, NEARLY
27, 27 YEARS THAT I'VE KNOWN
CATHY. AND WHAT I WILL SAY IS
THAT SHE IS THE GLUE THAT HOLDS
EVERYTHING TOGETHER IN OUR
STAFF. I CALL HER IN MANY WAYS,
SHE'S THE TEAM WHISPERER, SHE
SHE'S THE ONE PERSON IN THE
OFFICE WHO HAS AN AMAZING
CAPACITY TO GET ME TO CALM DOWN
A LITTLE BIT WHEN THINGS ARE NOT
GOING WELL. AND SHE'S SHE'S JUST

NOW. THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER, AND
MEMBERS JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT THE FAMILY IS PRESENT IN
THE CHAMBER. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU, MR. SPEAKER. AND MEMBERS,
TODAY I RISE TO HONOR AND
ADJOURN IN MEMORY OF ASSEMBLY
MEMBER RICHARD ALATORRE, A
DISTINGUISHED PUBLIC SERVANT WHO
DEDICATED HIS LIFE TO ADVOCATING
FOR THE PEOPLE OF LOS ANGELES.
HIS CAREER SPANNED DECADES OF
COMMITTED SERVICE, FIRST AS A
MEMBER OF THE CALIFORNIA STATE
ASSEMBLY AND LATER AS A MEMBER
OF THE LOS ANGELES CITY COUNCIL.
HE WAS A PROUD FAMILY MAN WHO
DEDICATED HIS LIFE TO ADVOCATING
FOR CALIFORNIA, OUR LATINO
COMMUNITY, AND THE EAST SIDE AND
EAST LOS ANGELES. LONG BEFORE HE
CAME TO SACRAMENTO. ASSEMBLY
MEMBER ALATORRE'S POLITICAL
CAREER STARTED AT GARFIELD HIGH
SCHOOL IN EAST LA, WHERE HE
BECAME THE STUDENT BODY
PRESIDENT. AFTER BEING INSPIRED
LISTENING TO JOHN F KENNEDY
SPEAK AT EAST LOS ANGELES
COLLEGE IN 1960. ASSEMBLY MEMBER.
ALATORRE WAS A CHAMPION FOR
CIVIL RIGHTS AND A TRAILBLAZER
FOR THE FIGHT FOR EQUALITY AND
EQUITY. NO ONE CAN DISPUTE THAT.
HE MADE A HISTORY, THAT HE MADE
HISTORY IN HIS TIME UNDER THE
CAPITOL DOME, HE WAS A FOUNDING
MEMBER OF THE LATINO LEGISLATIVE
CAUCUS AND THE INAUGURAL CHAIR,
AND HE WAS THE AUTHOR OF THE
CALIFORNIA AGRICULTURAL LABOR
RELATIONS ACT. HE WAS A CHAMPION
FOR REFORM IN OUR STATE PRISONS,
PRISONS, HIS TENURE AT THE LOS
ANGELES CITY COUNCIL WAS MARKED
BY A RELENTLESS FOCUS ON
IMPROVING THE LIVES OF
UNDERREPRESENTED COMMUNITIES AND
UPLIFTING THE VOICES OF SO MANY
THAT WERE UNHEARD. BEYOND HIS
LEGISLATIVE ACCOMPLISHMENTS,
ASSEMBLY MEMBER ALATORRE WAS
KNOWN FOR HIS DEEP CONNECTION TO
THE COMMUNITIES HE SERVED. HE
WAS A MENTOR TO MANY, A LEADER
WHO NEVER FORGOT HIS ROOTS, AND
A FIERCE ADVOCATE FOR JUSTICE.
WHEN I FIRST RAN FOR OFFICE, HE
WAS ONE OF THE FIRST PEOPLE WHO
SAT DOWN WITH ME. HE SAID THAT
EVEN THOUGH I WENT TO ROOSEVELT
HIGH SCHOOL AND HE WAS A PROUD
GARFIELD LION, HE WOULD STILL
OFFER ME ADVICE AND MENTORSHIP
AND TOLD ME TO FIGHT HARD FOR
WHAT I BELIEVED IN. AS MAYA
ANGELOU ONCE SAID, WHEN GREAT
TREES FALL, ROCKS AND DISTANT
HILLS SHUDDER. ASSEMBLY MEMBER
ALATORRE WAS ONE OF THOSE GREAT
TREES WHOSE IMPACT WAS FELT FAR
AND WIDE, AND WHOSE ABSENCE
LEAVES A PROFOUND VOID IN OUR
COMMUNITY. SENATOR JOHN BURTON
SENT ME AN EMAIL PERMISSION TO
READ. MR. SPEAKER, WITHOUT
OBJECTION, I REMEMBER THE FIRST
TIME I SAW RICHARD ALATORRE, I
WAS JUST FINISHING UP A MEETING
IN MY RULES COMMITTEE OFFICE
WITH A CANDIDATE FOR ASSEMBLY. I
WAS TOTALLY UNIMPRESSED BY HIM.
AS AND AS I WALKED DOWN THE HALL
FROM MY OFFICE TO THE FLOOR, I
SAW THIS PACHUCO WALKING DOWN
THE HALL, DRAPED COAT AND ALL
LOOKING VERY COOL. I SAID HI AND
HE SAID, WHAT'S GOOD? I TURNED
TO THEN-MAJORITY LEADER OF THE
ASSEMBLY WALLY KARABIAN, AND
ASKED, IS THAT GUY THAT JUST
WALKED BY RICHARD ALATORRE? AND
HE SAID, WHICH GUY? THAT GUY
OVER THERE THAT LOOKS LIKE A
PACHUCO. HE ASKED WHY? I SAID,
TELL HIM THAT I'M SUPPORTING HIM
FOR STATE ASSEMBLY. AND WE HAVE
BEEN FRIENDS EVER SINCE. FROM
THAT MOMENT UNTIL THE DAY HE
DIED LAST WEEK. I'M SORRY THAT
COVID PREVENTS ME FROM BEING
HERE TODAY TO CELEBRATE HIS LIFE
AND I WANT TO THANK SPEAKER
RIVAS FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SAY
A FEW WORDS ON BEHALF OF SENATOR
BURTON. SPEAKER EMERITUS AND
FORMER LOS ANGELES MAYOR SHARED
RICHARD WAS A FRIEND, MENTOR AND
CONSTANT FORCE FOR GOOD. HE KNEW
WHAT NEEDED TO BE DONE AND HOW
TO DO IT, AND WAS NEVER AFRAID
TO KICK THE DOOR OPEN WHEN IT
NEEDED TO BE. THE OPPORTUNITIES
HE CREATED PAVED THE ROAD OF
SUCCESS FOR SO MANY, CREATING
LEVELS OF REPRESENTATION THAT
CONTINUE TO BE FELT TO THIS DAY.
I AM DEEPLY SADDENED BY OUR
CITY'S LOSS, BUT KNOW LOS
ANGELES AND CALIFORNIA ARE
BETTER OFF TODAY BECAUSE OF HIS
PUBLIC SERVICE MEMBERS, ASSEMBLY
MEMBER ALATORRE MADE A PROFOUND
IMPACT. HE LIVED BY THE IDEA
THAT REPRESENTATION MATTERS. HE
MADE SURE THAT IF HE WAS THE
FIRST, MANY WOULD FOLLOWED HIS
COLLABORATION WITH SPEAKER
WILLIE BROWN ON REDISTRICTING IN
1980 IS WHAT LAID THE GROUNDWORK
FOR THE LATINO REPRESENTATION
THAT WE HAVE TODAY IN OUR STATE
LEGISLATURE. AS WE REFLECT ON
HIS LEGACY, LET US REMEMBER
ASSEMBLY MEMBER RICHARD TORY NOT
ONLY FOR HIS MANY
ACCOMPLISHMENTS, BUT FOR THE
PASSION AND DEDICATION WITH
WHICH HE SERVED. HE WAS A MAN OF
CONVICTION, A VISIONARY LEADER
AND A BELOVED FIGURE IN OUR
COMMUNITY. HIS LOSS IS DEEPLY
FELT, BUT HIS IMPACT WILL BE
REMEMBERED FOR GENERATIONS TO
COME. ASSEMBLY MEMBER ALATORRE
IS SURVIVED BY HIS TWO SONS,
DERRICK AND DARRELL, HIS SISTER
CECILIA, HIS DAUGHTER MELINDA,
HIS WIFE ANGIE, AND HIS
GRANDDAUGHTERS GABRIELLA,
MARIELA, DANIELA AND CASEY. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK THAT THIS BODY
ADJOURN IN LOVING MEMORY OF OUR
COLLEAGUE AND DEAR FRIEND,
ASSEMBLY MEMBER RICHARD
ALATORRE. MAY HIS MEMORY BE A
BLESSING. THANK YOU. THANK YOU,
ASSEMBLY MEMBER CARRILLO.
ASSEMBLY MEMBER. CALDERON, YOU
ARE RECOGNIZED FOR YOUR
ADJOURNMENT AND MEMORY. THANK
YOU, MR. SPEAKER, AND MEMBERS, I
RISE TO ADJOURN IN MEMORY OF
FORMER LOS ANGELES CITY
COUNCILMAN AND ASSEMBLY MEMBER
RICHARD ALATORRE. I FIRST MET
COUNCILMAN RICHARD ALATORRE WHEN
HE WAS A SPECIAL GUEST AT ONE OF
MY HUSBAND'S FUNDRAISERS. AFTER
HIS, LIKE, 32ND INTRODUCTION, I
NOTICED RICHARD LEANING AGAINST
A WALL. HE WAS FIDGETING AND
SHIFTING HIS WEIGHT DURING MY
HUSBAND'S TEN MINUTE REMARKS.
AFTERWARDS, RICHARD CAME OVER TO
CHUCK AND SOMEWHAT
AFFECTIONATELY SAID, HEY MAN,
DID YOU HAVE TO GIVE THE
GETTYSBURG ADDRESS? I GOT TO GO
AND HE TURNED AROUND AND LEFT.
SO THAT WAS MY FIRST
INTRODUCTION TO THE NOVATO OF
THE ASSEMBLY. RICHARD ALATORRE.
RICHARD WAS A MAN OF FEW WORDS.
HE HAD LITTLE PATIENCE FOR
POLITICIANS WHO SPOKE TOO MUCH
AND PARTICULARLY FOR THOSE THAT
SPOKE MORE ABOUT THEMSELVES. YOU
SEE, RICHARD ONLY SPOKE WHEN HE
HAD SOMETHING TO SAY, AND THOSE
AROUND LISTENED. SO WHEN YOU SEE
IRVINE, ASK FOR MORE MONEY OR
MONEY TO BUILD A MEDICAL CENTER.
ALATORRE. ALATORRE WAS THEN THE
CHAIR OF THE BUDGET
SUBCOMMITTEE, BUT HE MADE HIS
SUPPORT CONTINGENT ON THEM
OPENING HEALTH CLINICS IN SANTA
ANA AND SETTING ASIDE 25% OF
THEIR ENROLLMENT FOR BLACK AND
LATINO STUDENTS. HE TOLD THEM,
WHEN YOU'RE READY TO DO THAT,
COME BACK AND SEE ME. RICHARD
WAS ALSO MY HUSBAND'S MENTOR,
AND IT WAS NOT AN EASY TASK
BEING HIS PROTEGE. ON THE FIRST
DAY OF SESSION, FRESHMAN
CALDERON WENT TO RICHARD'S
OFFICE TO ASK FOR ADVICE ON HOW
TO BE A GOOD MEMBER. RICHARD HAD
HIS FEET UP ON THE DESK, WHICH
HE WAS NOTORIOUS FOR DOING, AND
HE LOOKED AT HIM MATTER OF
FACTLY AND HE SAID, JUST SIT
DOWN AND SHUT THE BLEEP UP.
AFTER SEVERAL SECONDS OF
SILENCE, CHUCK SAID, IS THAT IT?
HE'S YEP. HE SAID, YEP. A YEAR
LATER, CHUCK FINALLY HAD THE
COURAGE TO SPEAK ON THE FLOOR
FOR THE FIRST TIME, AND IT WAS A
BILL HE HATED THAT HAD PASSED.
SO AFTER HE MOVED FOR
RECONSIDERATION, THE AUTHOR
BROUGHT THE BILL UP AGAIN AND
CHUCK SPOKE AGAINST IT. WHEN HE
SAT DOWN, RICHARD WAS SITTING IN
HIS SEAT MATE'S CHAIR. RICHARD
SAID, GOOD SPEECH. DO YOU THINK
YOU MOVED ANYBODY? AND CHUCK
SAID, YEAH, YOU KNOW, I DID MY
RESEARCH. I SPOKE PASSIONATELY,
I THINK I MAY HAVE MOVED SOME
PEOPLE. WELL, OF COURSE THE BILL
GOT OUT WITH MORE VOTES THAN IT
DID THE FIRST TIME. AND RICHARD
TURNED TO CHUCK AND SAID, SIT
DOWN AND SHUT THE BLEEP UP.
RICHARD WAS DIRECT AND
UNAPOLOGETIC FOR THOSE PEOPLE HE
FOUGHT FOR. AS THE CHAIR OF THE
ELECTIONS AND REAPPORTIONMENT
COMMITTEE, HE CREATED MORE
DISTRICTS FOR LATINOS TO RUN IN.
AND WHETHER DEALING WITH THE
HIGHER ECHELONS OF LAW
ENFORCEMENT, ACADEMIA OR
POLITICAL OFFICE, HIS SENSE OF
PURPOSE NEVER WAVERED. HE
UNDERSTOOD WHY HE WAS IN OFFICE
AND WAS NEVER INTIMIDATED BY
POWER. INSTEAD, HE HARNESSED
THAT POWER AND WIELDED IT TO
CREATE EQUAL OPPORTUNITY AND
JUSTICE FOR OTHERS. RICHARD WILL
NEVER BE FORGOTTEN BY THE PEOPLE
HE HELPED. THOSE THAT HAD A
CHANCE TO RUN FOR PUBLIC OFFICE,
AND THOSE HE SERVED WITH. HE WAS
ONE OF A KIND, A FORCE OF
NATURE. WE WILL MISS HIM.
MEMBERS.I RESPECTFULLY ASK THAT
WE ADJOURN IN THE MEMORY OF
RICHARD ALATORRE. THANK YOU,
ASSEMBLY MEMBER CALDERON.
ASSEMBLY MEMBER QUIRK-SILVA, YOU
ARE RECOGNIZED FOR YOUR
ADJOURNMENT AND MEMORY.
MENDOCINE JUSTIN. OKAY, HERE WE
GO. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR.
SPEAKER. AND MEMBERS. TODAY I
RISE TO REMEMBER AND HONOR THE
LEGACY OF FORMER ASSEMBLY MEMBER
RICHARD ALATORRE. AND I'M
LOOKING AT THE FAMILY BECAUSE
MUCH OF HIS STORY HAS ALREADY
BEEN TOLD BY MY COLLEAGUES. AND
ALTHOUGH HE WAS A HAD A LEGACY
OF BEING STRAIGHTFORWARD, ONE OF
THE THINGS THAT I NOTICED WHEN I
LOOK AT HIS FAMILY IS THOSE
GREAT SMILES AND THOSE BIG
DIMPLES, AND I GOT TO KNOW, THE
FORMER ASSEMBLY MEMBER THROUGH
HIS FAMILY. DARRELL ALATORRE.
AND AS SOMEBODY WHO CAME OUT OF
POLITICS IN ORANGE COUNTY IN A
TIME WHEN IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT
TO GET A SEAT IN ORANGE COUNTY,
IT WAS DARRELL WHO RAN MY
CAMPAIGNS. AND I KNOW THAT HIS
FATHER SAT THERE WITH HIM AND
COUNSELED ABOUT, HOW ARE YOU
GOING TO ATTAIN A SEAT IN ORANGE
COUNTY AND A VERY DIFFICULT SEAT?
AND IT WAS THE WISDOM THAT HE
PASSED ON TO HIS SONS AND HIS
FAMILY. DARRELL AND DEREK AND I
KNOW ALL OF HIS FAMILY EMBODIED
HIM. HE EMBODIED THE WISDOM, THE
FORTITUDE, THE DETERMINATION TO
MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN OUR
COMMUNITIES, TO GIVE THAT VOICE
WHEN THERE WERE SO FEW VOICES. I
INDEED WANT TO SEE, UNDER THE
SUPPORT OF DARRELL ALATORRE,
AFTER LOSING A SEAT IN ORANGE
COUNTY. AND THIS WAS HARD FOUGHT.
I'M THE FIRST LATINA IN ORANGE
COUNTY TO BE HERE ON THE STATE
ASSEMBLY, BUT IT IS BECAUSE OF
THE DECADES OF THE WORK THAT
YOUR FATHER DID TO BUILD THE
BENCH, AS THEY WOULD SAY, AND
YOUR FATHER MADE THE DIFFERENCE
FROM YOU TODAY. JUST SPEAKING TO
DARRELL, TALKING ABOUT WHEN YOU
WERE EIGHT AND TEN YEARS OLD,
COMING UP HERE, FLYING UP HERE
AND WALKING THESE HALLS WITH
YOUR FATHER, LIKE MANY OF THE
FAMILIES HERE, IN ESSENCE, YOU
WERE RAISED IN THIS BUILDING.
AND THAT SHOWS THAT SHOWS BY THE
WORK YOU DO IN YOUR COMMUNITIES
TO MAKE THAT CHANGE. YOUR FATHER
WOULD BE SO PROUD OF YOU. AND I
KNOW HE'S LOOKING DOWN AND
SAYING, THOSE ARE THIS IS MY
FAMILY. SO I THANK YOU FOR NOT
ONLY HONORING YOUR FATHER, BUT
TO HONOR YOUR FAMILY. AND I ASK
THAT WE SAY AYE TO THIS
RESOLUTION. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU. ASSEMBLY MEMBER.
QUIRK-SILVA. MR. GIBSON, YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED FOR YOUR ADJOURNMENT
IN MEMORY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH,
MR. SPEAKER. I WANT TO THANK MY
COLLEAGUE FROM LOS ANGELES FOR
BRINGING THIS THIS ADJOURNMENT
BEFORE US TODAY. I GO WAY BACK
WITH COUNCILMAN RICHARD ALATORRE,
AND WHEN I WAS A YOUNG PUP
GROWING UP IN THE WATTS
COMMUNITY AND GOT MY FIRST JOB
WORKING FOR A CITY COUNCIL
MEMBER NAMED ROBERT FERRO,
THAT'S WHEN I ENCOUNTERED, THE
COUNCILMAN ALATORRE, AND ONE OF
THE THINGS THAT I WANTED TO
REALLY ELEVATE AND BRING UP
WITHOUT BEING REDUNDANT, IS THAT
HIS STRATEGIC APPROACH TO
COLLABORATION, ESPECIALLY WITH
THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY?
IT MY COLLEAGUE, MR. CALDERON
FROM WHITTIER TALKED ABOUT THE
COLLABORATION AND HOW HE SAID
THAT HE WANTED TO MAKE SURE
THERE WAS MONEY IN THE BUDGET
FOR LATINOS AND AFRICAN
AMERICANS. THAT'S WHO HE WAS.
AND I REMEMBER A FEW YEARS AGO
HAVING BREAKFAST AT THE PACIFIC
DINING CART IN DOWNTOWN LOS
ANGELES, WITH HIM AND HE WITH
HIS RASPY VOICE SAID HOW PROUD
HE WAS OF ME BECAUSE HE
REMEMBERED WHEN I WORKED FOR BOB
FERRO AND TO SEE MY
MATRICULATION BEING ON THIS
FLOOR. AND THEN THE STORIES
STARTED HAPPENING. I JUST SIMPLY
WANT TO SAY TO THIS FAMILY,
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR SHARING
HIM WITH ALL OF US, BECAUSE HAVE
YOU RESTRICTED HIS ABILITY TO
SHARE HIS ABILITY FOR ALL OF US?
WE WOULDN'T HAVE THE LAWS THAT
WE HAVE TODAY. WE WOULDN'T HAVE
THE COLLABORATION WE HAVE WITH
THE LATINO AND THE AFRICAN
AMERICAN COMMUNITY. WE WOULDN'T
HAVE PEOPLE BEING ABLE TO TALK
ABOUT INCLUSION INSTEAD OF
EXCLUSION. AND SO I WANT TO SAY
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALLOWING
HIM TO BE HIS AUTHENTIC SELF,
MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN
CALIFORNIA. THANK YOU. ASSEMBLY
MEMBER GIBSON. OUR DEEPEST
CONDOLENCES TO ASSEMBLY MEMBER
TORRES FAMILY AND FRIENDS HERE
WITH US IN THE CHAMBER ARE HIS
SISTER CECILIA, HIS SONS, DEREK
AND DARYL, AND HIS DAUGHTER
MELINDA. ALSO PRESENT. I BELIEVE
I COULD BE WRONG ON SOME OF
THESE, BUT ASSEMBLY MEMBER,

ALLEN, JOE COTTO AND HIS WIFE

MEMBERS. WE'RE GOING TO PAUSE
FOR A MINUTE HERE AS WE
RECOGNIZE ASSEMBLY MEMBER THREE
OF US AS A CONTINUATION OF OUR
DEPARTING MEMBER CEREMONY FROM
LAST WEEK. ASSEMBLY MEMBER
RAMOS, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED FOR
DELIVERING REMARKS IN TRIBUTE TO
ASSEMBLY MEMBER THREE OF US.
THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER. TODAY I
RISE FOR MY FRIEND THREE OF US
WHO WORKS HARD ON ISSUES FOR OUR
STATE FROM PACOIMA TO THE
CAPITOL. LUZ WORKS HARD ON
ISSUES AND SOMETIMES PEOPLE THAT
COME INTO OUR LIVES, WE TAKE FOR
GRANTED AND DON'T REALLY GET TO
KNOW THE TRUE PERSON OF OUR
COLLEAGUES THAT COMES INTO OUR
LIVES. LUIS IS A PERSON WITH
GREAT CONVICTION AND FORTITUDE
TO ACCOMPLISH GOALS THAT ARE SET
BEFORE HER, LIKE ATTAINING HER
DEGREE IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
FROM MIT. HER PASSIONS FOR STEM
PROGRAMS SHOWS HER PASSION TO
SUCCEED, ESPECIALLY FOR WOMEN IN
THE FIELD OF STEM. LUCE
CONTINUES TO LIFT UP US ALL AND
ALL OF OUR COMMUNITIES IN
ADVOCATING FOR MISSING AND
MURDERED INDIGENOUS WOMEN, AND
ALSO SPEAKING UP AT HEARINGS TO
MAKE SURE THAT NATIVE AMERICAN
REMAINS COME BACK TO THE PROPER
REBURIALS THAT ARE PROMISED TO
THEM. TO CALIFORNIA'S FIRST
PEOPLE, SHE HAS STOOD SIDE BY
SIDE WITH US HERE IN THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA, AND IN HER NEXT
JOURNEY, SHE WILL CONTINUE THAT
FIGHT OF INJUSTICE BROUGHT TO
THIS NATION'S FIRST PEOPLE AND
INJUSTICES TO ALL OF OUR
COMMUNITIES HERE IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. AS SHE MOVES FORWARD
TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, SHE
CONTINUES TO SHOW PASSION IN ALL
SHE DOES AND ASPIRES TO MAKE A
DIFFERENCE IN HER QUEST. SHE HAS
MADE ALL WHO KNOW HER A BETTER
PERSON. AS A MEMBER OF THE
SELECT COMMITTEE ON NATIVE
AMERICAN AFFAIRS, LUZ HAS STOOD
SIDE BY SIDE IN THIS CHAMBER,
CHAMPIONING THE VOICE OF
INJUSTICE. SHE CONTINUES TO MOVE
FORWARD AND HAS GROWN VERY FOND
OF THE TRADITIONAL MUSIC FROM
THIS AREA. IN WHICH I BID YOU
THE NEXT JOURNEY IN YOUR LIFE TO
BE ABLE TO REMEMBER, REMEMBER
OUR SONGS LIKE THEM, OR LET THEM
ALLOW THEM OR LET THEM LARA TO
MONEY TO MONEY. WHAT THE WAY
FAMILY. HOW MY LOVE, HA HA! WE
BID YOU A SUCCESS. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. ASSEMBLY MEMBER RAMOS.
ASSEMBLY MEMBER LEE, YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED FOR YOUR TRIBUTE TO
ASSEMBLY MEMBER THREE OF US.
THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER. I HAVE
THE GREAT HONOR OF RISING IN
CELEBRATION OF MY FRIEND AND
COLLEAGUE, ASSEMBLYMAN THREE OF
US, WHICH I KNOW THIS IS MORE OR
LESS OF A FAREWELL, MORE OF A
GRADUATION SPEECH, BECAUSE I
KNOW YOU'LL BE MOVING OFF TO
D.C. TO DO INCREDIBLE AND
WONDERFUL THINGS. BUT I REMEMBER
LUZ WAS ACTUALLY ONE OF THE
FIRST MEMBERS THAT I MET. AND
DURING THE PANDEMIC ERA WHEN I
ONLY REALLY KNEW PEOPLE ON THE
PHONE, IT WAS ACTUALLY OUR
SPEAKER. RIVAS INTRODUCED ME TO
ASSEMBLY THREE OF US AND I
REMEMBER CONCLUDING OUR CALL AND
I SAID SOMETHING TO THE LINE OF,
WELL, I'M REALLY GLAD THAT I'LL
BE SERVING WITH SOMEONE ELSE
ALSO IN MY AGE BRACKET. AND YOU
LAUGHED VERY HARD BECAUSE AT THE
TIME I NEVER MET YOU BEFORE. I'D
ONLY SEEN YOUR PHOTOS ONLINE AND
I THOUGHT, YOU REALLY, REALLY
WERE IN THE SAME AGE BRACKET.
BUT YOU HAD GENTLY REMINDED ME
YOU SAID YOU TAKE IT. OF COURSE
YOU SAID YOU TAKE IT. BUT YOU
GENTLY REMINDED ME THAT YOU HAD
A VERY LONG AND LUSTROUS CAREER
ALREADY IN PUBLIC SERVICE
ENGINEERING. AND OF COURSE, YOU
HAD GONE TO MIT AND YOU ALMOST
WOULD HAVE LIVED IN THE BAY
AREA, AND PERHAPS WE WOULD HAVE
GROWN UP IN THE SAME AREA AS
WELL. BUT I THINK A LOT ABOUT
THE TWO L'S THAT REALLY HAVE
DEFINED OUR RELATIONSHIP IS HOW
MUCH I HAVE LEARNED FROM YOU AND
HOW MUCH WE'VE LAUGHED TOGETHER.
THERE'S A LOT IN THIS PLACE THAT
IS CRINGE WORTHY, AWKWARD, AND
FRANKLY, FRUSTRATING. THAT
HAPPENS, BUT WE HAVE VERY
SIMILAR SENSE OF HUMOR THAT WE
ARE ABLE TO LAUGH THROUGH
EVERYTHING AND SHARING THE JOKES
REALLY HAVE GOTTEN US THROUGH
SOME REALLY FRUSTRATING TIMES,
AND I'VE ALSO LEARNED SO MUCH
FROM YOU BEING THAT HONORARY
MEMBER THAT CAN BLEND INTO YOUR
STAFF, ESPECIALLY DURING THE
BEGINNING OF THE PANDEMIC WHEN
NO ONE KNEW WHO I WAS AND WHEN
THERE WOULD BE LOBBYISTS
SWARMING YOU. AND THEY WOULDN'T
SWARM ME AND I'D BE LIKE, OH NO,
I'M STAFF, DON'T TALK TO ME. I
COULD HIDE AND PRETEND IN THE
BEGINNING. BUT I WAS TRULY MY
HONOR TO LEARN SO MUCH FROM YOU,
BECAUSE SOMETIMES, EVEN WHEN WE
WOULD FIND TIMES WHERE WE COULD
HAVE DINNER AND LEARN ABOUT
THINGS, YOU'D STILL BE ON THE
PHONE NEGOTIATING AND DOING
THESE REALLY HARD AMENDMENTS.
AND I REALLY LEARNED FROM YOU
WHAT IT MEANS TO PUT YOUR FOOT
DOWN AND REALLY SAY, IF A DEAL
IS REALLY BAD FOR CALIFORNIANS,
YOU'RE READY TO WALK AWAY AND
SOMETIMES BECAUSE OF THAT
TENACITY, NOT JUST FOR THE
PEOPLE OF YOUR DISTRICT, BUT FOR
ALL OF CALIFORNIANS, YOU HAVE
REALLY DELIVERED FOR THEM THE
BEST DEAL POSSIBLE. AND NOT JUST
TO MAKE EVERYONE FEEL BETTER
ABOUT A COMPROMISE. AND SO, FROM
THE INCREDIBLE ACCOMPLISHMENTS
THAT I GOT TO WITNESS FIRSTHAND
FROM THINGS LIKE LEGALIZING
LOWRIDERS TO MAKING SURE THAT
LOW INCOME KIDS DON'T GO HUNGRY,
YOU HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE MOST
PROGRESSIVE LEGISLATORS THAT I
HAVE HAD. THE HONOR OF SERVING
WITH. AND I KNOW THAT IN DC,
WHEN YOU GO THERE, THEY'LL BE
EVEN MORE THINGS THAT ARE VERY
HILARIOUS THAT I'M SURE WE'LL BE
LEARNING, THAT WE WILL LAUGH
ABOUT. AND I'M REALLY GLAD THAT
TO HAVE HAD YOU HERE IN MY
LEGISLATIVE CAREER, IN MY LIFE,
TO LEARN SO MUCH FROM AND TO
SHARE SO MUCH TOGETHER, AND OF
COURSE, ALSO AS A CAUCUS CHAIR
OF THE LA CAUCUS CHAIR, YOUR
STAFF SAID THIS AND IT IS
ACTUALLY TEMPTING THOUGHT OF
MINE, I'VE JOKED WITH YOU ABOUT
IS THAT I REPRESENT THE SOUTH
BAY TOO. SORRY, MR. MURATSUCHI.
SO I WAS LIKE, MAYBE I CAN JOIN
THE LA CAUCUS AS WELL FROM THE
BAY AREA. BUT BUT ALL JOKES
ASIDE, YOU DID RUN THAT CAUCUS
REALLY WELL, AND I'VE SEEN YOU
PROFESSIONALIZE IT AND I'M ALSO
LEARNING THAT AS A CAUCUS CHAIR
MYSELF. AND SO I JUST WANTED TO
BID YOU FAREWELL FOR NOW. BUT
YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE US SO PROUD
IN CONGRESS, AND YOU'RE GOING TO
TEACH SO MANY PEOPLE THAT
CALIFORNIA, THIS REALLY IS WHERE
THE FUTURE BEGINS. AND THEY CAN
CATCH UP TO US. SO THANK YOU SO
MUCH FOR SERVING WITH US. THANK
YOU. ASSEMBLY MEMBER LEE,
ASSEMBLY MEMBER RIVAS, YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MR.
SPEAKER. I WANT TO START OFF BY
THANKING THE MEMBER FROM
HIGHLAND, HE ASKED ME LAST WEEK
WHAT I WANTED HIM TO SAY, AND I
SAID, I WANT YOU TO SING FOR ME
AND HE ACTUALLY DID. SO THANK
YOU SO MUCH. THAT MEANS SO MUCH
TO ME, WE CAME IN TOGETHER AND
OUT OF MY CLASS. YOU KNOW, JAMES
AND I HAVE BEEN REMAINED VERY
CLOSE, AND I HAVE WATCHED HIM
GROW AS A LEADER AND LEAD US AND
HAVE LEARNED SO MUCH FROM HIM ON
NATIVE AMERICAN ISSUES. SO I
WANT TO THANK YOU FOR TEACHING
ME EVERYTHING THAT YOU'VE TAUGHT
ME AND FOR BEING A PARTNER, ON A
LOT OF ISSUES. YOU KNOW, HIM AND
I AREN'T, VERY SIMILAR
IDEOLOGIES. YOU KNOW, IF YOU
LOOKED AT OUR VOTES, WE'RE
PROBABLY NIGHT AND DAY
SOMETIMES. BUT HIM AND I SIT
DOWN AND TALK OUT OF EVERYONE IN
THIS CAUCUS AND THE ASSEMBLY,
I'VE HAD MORE AND MORE
CONVERSATIONS WITH HIM ABOUT
ISSUES AND BILLS, AND I REALLY
HAVE APPRECIATED HIS FRIENDSHIP.
TRUE GENTLEMAN. THANK YOU. I
WANT TO ALSO THANK THE MEMBER
FROM SAN JOSE, THANK YOU FOR
BEING AN HONORARY STAFF MEMBER
IN MY OFFICE. I HAVE A MEMBER
THAT'S ALSO A STAFF, BUT THANK
YOU FOR YOUR THOUGHTFUL REMARKS.
YOUR FRIENDSHIP MEANS A LOT TO
ME, TOO, FIRST, I WANT TO
ACKNOWLEDGE SPEAKER RENDON FOR
HIS TRUST IN ME AND FOR
APPOINTING ME AS CHAIR OF
ASSEMBLY NATURAL RESOURCES
COMMITTEE. DURING MY TIME AS THE
CHAIR OF RESOURCES, WE MADE
SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS ON SOME
HARD FOUGHT ISSUES THAT I WAS IN
THE MIDDLE OF, NIGHTS AND HOURS
AND BUT IT ASSURED THAT
CALIFORNIA CONTINUED TO BE A
GLOBAL LEADER ON CLIMATE POLICY
AND NOW THAT I'M GOING TO DC, I
RECOGNIZE THAT EVEN MORE. THE
WORK THAT WE HAVE DONE,
ESPECIALLY ON CLIMATE, THE WORLD
KNOWS ABOUT IT, AND THEY'RE
FOLLOWING CALIFORNIA. AND I'M
VERY PROUD OF THAT. AND TO HAVE
BEEN ABLE TO SERVE IN THAT ROLE,
MY TEAM AND I WORKED LATE
NIGHTS, LONG HOURS, AND I DIDN'T
ALWAYS MAKE EVERYONE HAPPY. BUT
I'M SURE WE ALL CAN RELATE TO
THAT. YOU DON'T ALWAYS. YOU
DON'T COME HERE TO MAKE EVERYONE
HAPPY. YOU'RE HERE TO DO THE
RIGHT THING FOR CALIFORNIANS.
BUT NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT, I
WOULD ALSO LIKE TO THANK SPEAKER
RIVAS FOR PULLING ME OFF AS
CHAIR OF NATURAL RESOURCES,
ESPECIALLY IN NOVEMBER. PERFECT
TIMING FOR ME TO PREPARE FOR MY
NEXT ROLE, BUT IN ALL
SERIOUSNESS, I WANT TO EXPRESS
MY GRATITUDE TO EACH AND EVERY
ONE OF YOU HERE FOR YOUR
FRIENDSHIP AND SUPPORT ON BOTH
SIDES OF THE AISLE HAS MEANT SO
MUCH TO ME. I HAVE LEARNED SO
MUCH FROM MANY OF YOU THROUGH MY
SIX PLUS YEARS HERE IN THE STATE
ASSEMBLY. BUT AS MY TIME ENDS
HERE, YOU KNOW, IT'S VERY IT'S
BITTERSWEET. YOU KNOW, I AM
EXCITED ABOUT WHAT'S TO COME,
I'M VERY LOOKING FORWARD TO MY
NEXT STEPS, AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL.
BUT I MUST ADMIT THAT THE
THOUGHT OF LEAVING THE ASSEMBLY
DOES FILL ME WITH SOME SADNESS.
BUT I'M GRATEFUL FOR HOW BEING
AN ASSEMBLY MEMBER AND
INTERACTING, AND THE
RELATIONSHIPS THAT I'VE HAD HERE
WITH MANY OF YOU HAS REALLY
PREPARED ME FOR MY NEXT ROLE,
I'M THANKFUL TO MY AMAZING STAFF
THAT I'VE HAD OVER THE YEARS.
MANY OF THE STAFF STILL WORK IN
MY OFFICE, I HAVE SOME THAT HAVE
BEEN WITH ME SINCE DAY ONE FOR
ALMOST SIX YEARS, AND I'M VERY
GRATEFUL FOR THAT. TO HAVE THAT
CONTINUITY AND THEIR EXPERTISE
IN GUIDING ME AS A MEMBER, I
WANT TO START BY THANKING MY
CHIEF OF STAFF, MATTHEW
MONTGOMERY. YOU KNOW, UNDER HIS
LEADERSHIP, I REALLY BELIEVE
HE'S THE ONE OF THE BEST CHIEFS
HERE IN THE BUILDING, AND I'M
LUCKY TO HAVE HAD HIM IN MY
OFFICE, HE HAS KEPT US MOVING
FORWARD, WITH LAUGHTER,
COMPASSION, THOUGHTFULNESS, AND
DEDICATION. AND HE'S TRULY ONE
OF THE BEST, WHILE I TRIED TO
RECRUIT HIM TO COME WITH ME TO
MY NEXT OFFICE, HE WANTS TO FOR
SOME REASON, STAY HERE BECAUSE
HE HAS A HOME AND A FAMILY AND
ALL OF THAT DOESN'T WANT TO GO
TO THE EAST COAST WITH ME, BUT
I'M GRATEFUL, AND I REALLY WISH
HIM SUCCESS IN HIS NEXT ROLE. I
WANT TO THANK MY LEGISLATIVE
DIRECTOR, JUDY Â. SHE HAS BEEN
DEDICATED TO MY SUCCESS. ONE OF
THE MOST LOYAL STAFFERS THAT I
HAVE IN MY CAPITOL OFFICE. AND
SHE'S PROVEN TO BE HIGHLY
CAPABLE, ORGANIZED POLICY
STAFFER. EVEN WHEN I WOULD GIVE
HER AN ISSUE AREA THAT WAS NEW
TO HER. BUT I'M LIKE, I WANT TO
DO THIS, FIGURE IT OUT. AND I
KNOW A LOT OF OUR STAFF HERE IN
THE BUILDING JUMP RIGHT TO IT.
WHEN WE WANT TO GET, WORKING ON
A NEW ISSUE AREA, EVEN THOUGH
THEY DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT IT.
THEN THERE'S JOSE, OMAR AND
SLOANE, YOU ALL DO THE HARD WORK
THE DAY IN AND DAY OUT. THAT
DOESN'T GET ENOUGH RECOGNITION
AS LEGISLATIVE AIDES. WITHOUT
ALL OF YOU, NONE OF MY
LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES WOULD
HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL, NEXT, MY
DISTRICT TEAM IS HERE AGAIN,
FROM LAST WEEK. THEY WERE ABLE
TO FLY UP AGAIN, LED BY MY
DISTRICT DIRECTOR, ARTURO
GARCIA, THANK YOU FOR ALL THE
INCREDIBLE INVESTMENTS IN AD 39
AND NOW 43 THAT WE HAVE SECURED
OVER THE YEARS. AND THE LIVES
THAT WE HAVE POSITIVELY,
POSITIVELY AFFECTED TOGETHER.
WE'RE BOTH FROM THE DISTRICT,
BORN AND RAISED. AND I KNOW HE
CARES ABOUT MY CONSTITUENTS JUST
AS MUCH AS I DO. I WANT TO THANK
MY FIELD REPRESENTATIVES,
CYNTHIA AND JESSICA, FOR YOUR
OUTSTANDING SERVICE AND
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. WE
COULDN'T BE DOING THE WORK THAT
WE'RE THAT WE DO WITHOUT YOU, MY
SCHEDULER, MARIBEL, SHE HAS BEEN
ONE OF THE BEST SCHEDULERS A
MEMBER COULD ASK FOR. WE ALL
KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THIS POSITION
IS. THE SCHEDULER HAS THE
ABILITY TO MAKE OR BREAK AN
OFFICE. HER POSITIVE ATTITUDE
AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL HAVE
BEEN THE CORNERSTONE OF MY
SUCCESS. I WOULD LIKE TO SAY
SEVERAL OF MY STAFF HAVE
INDICATED A DESIRE TO STAY
WORKING IN THE BUILDING. ANY OF
YOU WOULD BE LUCKY TO HAVE THEM,
PLEASE COME BY AFTERWARDS AND
LET ME KNOW IF YOU'RE
INTERESTED. YOU KNOW, THEY ALL,
THEY'RE A GREAT TEAM, AND YOU
WOULD ALL BE LUCKY TO HAVE THEM
IN YOUR OFFICE, FINALLY, I WOULD
LIKE TO ACKNOWLEDGE SPEAKER
RIVAS, HE AND I ALSO CAME IN
TOGETHER IN THE BUILDING, SINCE
TAKEN, TAKING OVER, HE HAS
PROVEN THAT HE CARES ABOUT HIS
MEMBERS AND THEIR SUCCESS. AND
THAT THIS AND THIS IS WHAT A
LEADER DOES. YOU KNOW, HE WAS
THE FIRST PERSON I CALLED WHEN I
HAD WHEN TO LET HIM KNOW, TO LET
ANYBODY KNOW HE'S THE FIRST
MEMBER. I TOLD THAT I WAS
RUNNING FOR CONGRESS THE NIGHT
BEFORE THE ANNOUNCEMENT. HE WAS
RIGHT AWAY VERY SUPPORTIVE AND
ASKED ME, WHAT DO YOU NEED, AND
I AND I REALLY APPRECIATE HIS
SUPPORT, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK
MY CONSTITUENTS WHO ELECTED ME
TO REPRESENT THEM. I HAVE FOUGHT
EVERY CHANCE I HAD TO LIFT THEM
UP. I'M FROM MY DISTRICT, LIKE
THE MEMBER FROM HIGHLAND
MENTIONED. I'M FROM PACOIMA.
IT'S ONE OF THE LOWEST INCOME
COMMUNITIES IN LOS ANGELES, IT'S
WHERE I LIVED. MY FAMILY CAME
FROM MEXICO IN THE 50S AND 60S,
AND IT'S A BEAUTIFUL COMMUNITY,
AND THEY DESERVE REPRESENTATION
AND AS AND THE RESOURCES. AND
THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE. THAT'S
WHY I'M HERE. TO FIGHT FOR
COMMUNITIES LIKE THAT, I WANT
TO, OF COURSE. THANK MY MOM,
WHICH, AGAIN IS BACK. FOR HER
LIFETIME OF SUPPORT. WOMEN LIKE
HER IMMIGRANTS FROM MEXICO DON'T
ALWAYS GET THE RECOGNITION THAT
THEY DESERVE, MY MOM WAS A
SINGLE MOTHER, RAISING TWO
DAUGHTERS, AND WE LIVED IN ROOMS
IN A GARAGE. WE MOVED EVERY
YEAR. THAT'S WHY IT'S NOT SO
HARD FOR ME TO MOVE TO DC,
BECAUSE THIS WILL BE NUMBER 30.
YOU KNOW, IN TERMS OF PLACES I
HAVE LIVED IN, AND YOU KNOW,
THAT CHANGE BECAME SOMETHING
THAT'S VERY COMFORTABLE FOR ME.
AND, AND SO BECAUSE OF HER HARD
WORK, I AM WHERE I AM TODAY, AND
I REALLY APPRECIATE IT. LIKE I
SAID, WOMEN LIKE THIS DO NOT GET
THE RECOGNITION THAT THEY
DESERVE. THEY NEVER GET THE
AWARDS. THEY NEVER ALL OF THIS
RECOGNITION, AND I JUST WANT TO
THANK HER FOR EVERYTHING, FOR
SUPPORTING ME ALL ALONG THE WAY.
THANK YOU. MUCHAS GRACIAS. AND
OF COURSE, MY PARTNER DAVID,
THAT'S HERE TODAY AGAIN WITH ME.
I WANT TO THANK HIM FOR ALWAYS
BEING SUPPORTIVE. ALL THESE
CRAZY IDEAS. YOU KNOW, HE WAS
WITH ME BEFORE I STARTED RUNNING
FOR ELECTED OFFICE. AND NOW
WE'RE ON OUR SECOND, YOU KNOW,
ELECTED OFFICE. AND EVERY TIME
HE'S LIKE, YES, LET'S DO IT.
LET'S GO FOR IT. WHAT DO I NEED
TO DO, SO I APPRECIATE THAT.
UNCONDITIONAL SUPPORT AND TRUST.
BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH, TO ALL OF
YOU. THANK YOU FOR THIS
BEAUTIFUL CEREMONY, FOR HAVING
MY TEAM HERE, AND I WISH ALL OF
YOU SUCCESS. AND I EXPECT ALL OF
YOU TO COME VISIT ME IN

ONE, THE BILL ESTABLISHES A
PROCESS FOR A PERSON WITH A
DEVELOPMENTAL OR INTELLECTUAL
DISABILITY WHO IS ON DEATH ROW
TO BE ABLE TO PROVE THAT THEIR
DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITY
MANIFESTED PRIOR TO THE AGE OF
25. THIS DISABILITY OR THE
DISABILITY MUST MANIFEST AND
SHOWCASE LOW INTELLECTUAL
FUNCTIONING IN A YOUTH OR A
PERSON'S DEVELOPMENTAL PERIOD.
SPECIFICALLY THAT THE PERSON'S
BELOW AVERAGE INTELLECTUAL
FUNCTION DAMAGES THEIR
CONCEPTUAL, SOCIAL, AND
PRACTICAL SKILLS IN EVERYDAY
LIFE. CURRENT LAW REQUIRES A
DIAGNOSIS BEFORE THE AGE OF 25.
THIS PROCESS IN SB 1001 MIRRORS
EXISTING COURT RULING FROM 2004
THAT ALLOWED SOMEONE TO PRESENT
A DIAGNOSIS AFTER THE
DEVELOPMENTAL PERIOD. THERE ARE
MANY CIRCUMSTANCES THAT CAN
RESULT IN A PERSON WHO IS EITHER
DEVELOPMENTALLY OR
INTELLECTUALLY DISABLED FROM NOT
GETTING DIAGNOSED PRIOR TO THE
AGE OF 25, SUCH AS LACK OF
HEALTH CARE OR LIMITED TESTING.
BY DEFINING A PROCESS TO
DETERMINE THE PRESENCE OF AN
INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY, SB TEN
ZERO ONE WILL BETTER ALIGN
CALIFORNIA WITH THE EIGHTH
AMENDMENT AND WILL HELP PREVENT
THE EXECUTION OF THOSE WITH
INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES. TO

ANY NEW SCHOOL GRADING PROJECTS
TO INCLUDE UPGRADED PASSIVE
TRAVEL WITHOUT A LIMIT ON COST.
THESE PASSIVE TRAVEL UPGRADES
CAN INCLUDE ANY RESTROOM,

DEFINITION OF AN E-BIKE. MOST
E-BIKES AND E-SCOOTERS ARE
POWERED BY LITHIUM ION BATTERIES
AND REPORTS OF DEADLY FIRES
LINKED TO THESE DEVICES HAVE
BEEN ON THE RISE ACROSS THE
COUNTRY DUE TO POORLY
MANUFACTURED BATTERIES. SB 1271
WILL PROTECT CONSUMERS AND THE
PUBLIC BY REMOVING LOW QUALITY,
POWERED PERSONAL MOBILITY
DEVICES FROM THE MARKET. IN
ADDITION TO THE PROBLEMS WITH
BATTERIES, SOME MANUFACTURERS
HAVE BEEN SELLING E-BIKES THAT
ARE ABLE TO SWITCH BETWEEN

CREATES CONFUSION ABOUT THEIR

PRACTITIONERS AND PHYSICIAN
ASSISTANTS TO ALSO CERTIFY THAT
THEY COMPLETED SOME EDUCATION
AND TRAINING IN THE SPECIAL CARE
NEEDS OF PATIENTS WITH DEMENTIA.
AS MANY OF YOU KNOW AND MAYBE
HAVE HAD A PERSONAL EXPERIENCE,
ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE IS A GROWING
PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS. ACCORDING
TO THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC
HEALTH, 1 IN 6 CALIFORNIANS OVER
THE AGE OF 65 WILL DEVELOP
ALZHEIMER'S AND 1 IN 5 WILL
DEVELOP DEMENTIA BY THE YEAR
2040. THIS IS EXACERBATED BY THE
FACT THAT BY THE YEAR 2030, OVER
A QUARTER OF CALIFORNIANS WILL
BE OVER THE AGE OF 60. A 2020
REPORT CONDUCTED BY THE
ALZHEIMER'S ASSOCIATION REVEALED
THAT PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS SEE
A GROWING ISSUE PRESENTED BY
DEMENTIA, AND NEARLY HALF
REPORTING THAT THEY ARE NOT
ENOUGH DEMENTIA CARE SPECIALISTS
IN THEIR AREA TO MEET PATIENT
DEMAND. IN ORDER FOR US TO BE
PREPARED TO CARE FOR THIS
GROWING POPULATION, SB 639 WILL
ENSURE THAT HEALTHCARE

VALLEY REGION TO EAST NEAR THE
COLORADO RIVER AND ALSO PROTECTS
APPROXIMATELY 17,000 ACRES OF

THESE PUBLIC LANDS IS A HISTORIC
OPPORTUNITY THAT WOULD
SIGNIFICANTLY ADVANCE STATE AND
FEDERAL 30 BY 30 GOALS AND WOULD

SENATOR ALLEN TO PRESENT SENATE
JOINT RESOLUTION 17, A
RESOLUTION URGING OUR FEDERAL
PARTNERS TO ESTABLISH THE

CORNERSTONE AND IS VITAL TO
DEFENDING THE DIMINISHING
BIODIVERSITY OF OUR BEAUTIFUL

FOR OUR AREAS OF CALIFORNIA
WILDLIFE, FROM BALD EAGLES TO

MOVEMENT TO ENSHRINE THIS AREA

CALIFORNIA HAS CALCULATED SCHOOL
FUNDING USING THE AVERAGE DAILY
ATTENDANCE METHOD FOR MORE THAN
FIVE DECADES. BESIDES
CALIFORNIA, THE ONLY OTHER
STATES THAT USE THE ATTENDANCE
BASED FUNDING METHODS ARE IDAHO,
ILLINOIS, KENTUCKY, MISSISSIPPI,
MISSOURI, AND TEXAS. MOST STATES
BASED SCHOOL FUNDING ON THE
AVERAGE ENROLLMENT REFERRED TO
AS AVERAGE DAILY MEMBERSHIP WITH
CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM ON THE RISE,
IT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER
THAT CALIFORNIA SCHOOLS HAVE THE
MOST EQUITABLE FUNDING MECHANISM
POSSIBLE. RECOGNIZING THE
CURRENT BUDGET DEFICIT, SB 98
HAS BEEN AMENDED TO REQUIRE THE
LEGISLATIVE ANALYST'S OFFICE TO
CONDUCT A COMPREHENSIVE STUDY ON
IMPLEMENTING ENROLLMENT BASED
FUNDING IN CALIFORNIA. THIS
REPORT WILL EVALUATE ENROLLMENT
BASED FUNDING MODELS FROM OTHER

BY SENATOR ALVARADO GILL AND
OTHERS NOT RELATING TO CRIMES.
ASSEMBLY MEMBER ALANIZ. THANK
YOU, MR. SPEAKER. SB 268
CLASSIFIES THE RAPE OF AN
INTOXICATED PERSON AS A VIOLENT
FELONY UNDER CURRENT LAW, RAPE
IS ONLY CONSIDERED A VIOLENT
FELONY WHEN IT INVOLVES FORCE,
THREATS, OR INTIMIDATION.
HOWEVER, RAPE IS NOT CLASSIFIED
AS A VIOLENT ONE WHEN THE VICTIM
IS INCAPACITATED AND UNABLE TO
GIVE CONSENT. THIS BILL WOULD
CHANGE THAT. I WANT TO BE CLEAR
THAT THIS PROPOSAL WITH THIS
PROPOSAL, IT MUST BE PROVED
BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT THAT A
DEFENDANT INTENTIONALLY DRUGGED
THE VICTIM WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT
AND WITH THE INTENT TO COMMIT
SEXUAL ASSAULT. I RECOGNIZE THE
CONCERNS ABOUT PRISON
OVERCROWDING AND JUSTICE
INEQUALITIES. I SHARE THOSE
CONCERNS. BUT THERE ARE SEVERE
CRIMES THAT DESERVE SERIOUS
ACCOUNTABILITY. WE MUST HOLD
THOSE WHO COMMIT PREMEDITATED
SEXUAL ASSAULTS ACCOUNTABLE. WE
MUST PROTECT VICTIMS OF THIS
SERIOUS AND VIOLENT CRIME. RAPE
BY FORCE. ALREADY CLASSIFIED, IS
ALREADY CLASSIFIED AS A VIOLENT
FELONY. COLLEAGUES, WE SHOULD
ALL BE ABLE TO AGREE THAT
DRUGGING SOMEONE WITH THE
INTENTION OF REMOVING THEIR
ABILITY TO CONSENT IS ABSOLUTELY
A FORM OF FORCE. THE IDEA THAT
RAPING AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON IS
NONVIOLENT, SIMPLY BECAUSE THE
VICTIM CANNOT RESIST SHOULD NOT
BE ACCEPTABLE. I ASK THAT WE
COURAGEOUSLY PASS THIS LAW TODAY
AND STAND WITH THE VICTIMS AND
THE SURVIVORS OF THIS TERRIBLE
CRIME, AND I RESPECTFULLY ASK

HISTORICALLY, SURCHARGES HAVE
BEEN USED TO FINANCE THE

BUT PAYMENTS WERE MADE DIRECTLY

ESTABLISHED ACCOUNT TO MEET
FINANCING SCHEDULES AND PLANNED

AN IMPORTANT BILL TO CREATE
CONNECTIVITY FOR OFF HIGHWAY
VEHICLE OR OHV RIDING AREAS
AROUND THE RED ROCK CANYON STATE
PARK AND ADJACENT STATE AND
FEDERAL LANDS THAT ALSO ALLOW
FOR OHV RECREATION. RED ROCK
CANYON STATE PARK IS SITUATED
BETWEEN BAKERSFIELD AND THE
MOJAVE DESERT. ADDITIONALLY, THE
PARK IS SANDWICHED BETWEEN THE
STATE AND FEDERAL LANDS, BOTH OF
WHICH ALLOW OHV RECREATION. RED
ROCK CANYON STATE PARK, HOWEVER,
DOES NOT ALLOW FOR OHV USE
WITHIN THE PARK AND WOULD LIKE A
DESIGNATED ROUTE THROUGH THE
PARK TO RETAIN CONNECTIVITY TO
THE REGION TO OHV RIDING AREAS.
THIS BILL WILL LEGALLY RESTORE
OHV USE ON SIERRA VIEW ROAD AND
RED ROCK CANYON STATE PARK,
MAINTAINING HISTORIC
CONNECTIVITY FOR OHV USERS. THE
LACK OF A DIRECT ROUTE THROUGH
THE STATE PARK TO ACCESS NEARBY
FEDERAL LANDS FOR OHV RECREATION
WILL RESULT IN RIDERS CREATING
ILLEGAL ROUTES, WHICH COULD
CREATE RESOURCE PROTECTION
CONCERNS AND OTHER PROBLEMS.
PROVIDING A DESIGNATED ROUTE
WILL PRESERVE TRAFFIC SAFETY,
IMPROVE NATURAL AND CULTURAL
RESOURCE PROTECTION, AND REDUCE
OHV TRESPASS ON PRIVATE LANDS.

CREATOR RIGHTS ACT WILL REQUIRE
FAMILY CONTENT CREATORS WHO ARE
COMPENSATED FOR FILMING THEIR
MINOR CHILDREN IN MORE THAN 30%
OF THEIR CONTENT TO SET ASIDE A
PERCENTAGE OF THEIR EARNINGS IN
A TRUST. THE MINOR CAN ACCESS

BUILDS OFF THE 1939 COOGAN ACT,
WHICH BECAME THE NATIONAL
STANDARD IN PROTECTING CHILDREN
FROM FINANCIAL ABUSE IN THE
ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY. AFTER
FAMOUS CHILD ACTOR JACKIE COOGAN
HAD HIS EARNINGS STOLEN BY HIS
GUARDIANS. HOWEVER, THE COOGAN
ACT ONLY PERTAINS TO YOUTH
PERFORMERS OPERATING UNDER A
CONTRACT AND NOT FOR THOSE
FILMED AND POSTED ON SOCIAL
MEDIA, LEAVING THEM WITHOUT A
GUARANTEE TO THE PROFITS
GENERATED BY THEIR
PARTICIPATION. THE RISE OF
SOCIAL MEDIA HAS SEEN FAMILY
CONTENT CREATORS EXPLODE IN
POPULARITY, WITH MANY PARENTS
FILMING THEIR DAILY LIVES AND
EARNING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN
AD REVENUE, SPONSORSHIPS AND

A FOLLOW UP TO SENATOR SKINNER'S
SB 206. FROM 2019. THAT LANDMARK
BILL, WHICH RECEIVED UNANIMOUS
SUPPORT IN THIS CHAMBER, MADE
CALIFORNIA THE FIRST STATE TO
ALLOW COLLEGE ATHLETES TO EARN
MONEY FROM THEIR NAME, IMAGE AND
LIKENESS. ALSO KNOWN AS NIL. SB
206 SPARKED A NATIONAL MOVEMENT,
AND TODAY EVERY COLLEGE ATHLETE
IN THE NATION CAN MAKE MONEY
FROM THEIR TALENT AND THEIR HARD
WORK. TO DATE, THERE HAVE BEEN
NUMEROUS EXAMPLES OF COLLEGE
ATHLETICS WOMEN AND MEN EARNING
NIL MONEY FROM CAITLIN CLARK AND
WOMEN'S BASKETBALL TO CALEB
WILLIAMS AND COLLEGE FOOTBALL.
BUT RECENTLY, THERE HAS ALSO
BEEN A RISE IN THE CREATION OF
SO-CALLED COLLECTIVES. THESE ARE
ENTITIES ESTABLISHED BY COLLEGE
BOOSTERS, WEALTHY FANS THAT
EITHER BROKER OR PROVIDE A NIL
NIL DEALS TO ATHLETES.
ANECDOTALLY, IT APPEARS THAT
THESE COLLECTIVES AND OTHER NIL
ENTITIES PRIMARILY BENEFIT MEN'S
FOOTBALL AND BASKETBALL. SB 906
WILL BRING TRANSPARENCY TO NIL
AND REVEAL WHETHER WOMEN
ATHLETES ARE BEING SHORTCHANGED
AND TO WHAT EXTENT. SB 906
REQUIRES COLLECTIVE AND OTHER
NIL ENTITIES THAT DO NIL DEALS
OF 5000 OR MORE TO PROVIDE BASIC
INFO TO COLLEGES, TO COLLEGE, TO
THE COLLEGE THAT THE ATHLETE
ATTENDS AND THE COLLEGES WOULD
MAKE ANONYMOUS AGGREGATED DATA
PUBLIC. EACH COLLEGE THAT HELPS
ITS STUDENT ATHLETES WITH NIL
DEALS WOULD ALSO DISCLOSE THE
VALUE OF THAT SUPPORT BY SUPPORT
BY GENDER AND SPORT. COLLEGES
WOULD ALSO PROVIDE ANONYMOUS
AGGREGATED DATA ON ANY REVENUE
SHARING THAT THEY DO. AGAIN, THE
PUBLICLY AVAILABLE INFORMATION
PROVIDED WILL BE ANONYMOUS AND
AGGREGATED TO PROTECT THE
PRIVACY OF COLLEGE STUDENTS. SB

EXPECTED TO MOVE 6 TO 9 TIMES
BETWEEN KINDERGARTEN AND THEIR
SENIOR YEAR IN HIGH SCHOOL, AND
EACH MOVE RESETS THEIR LIVES AND
THEIR SUPPORT NETWORKS. THIS
PROGRAM IS ESSENTIAL TO MILITARY
FAMILIES AND THE SUPPORT OF
THESE AMAZING CHILDREN. SB 920

SENSE PIECE OF LEGISLATION THAT
WILL HELP THE GOLDEN STATE'S
MOST VULNERABLE HOMEOWNERS AND
COMMUNITIES TAKE PROACTIVE
MEASURES TO PROTECT THEIR HOMES
FROM CATASTROPHIC WILDFIRES. THE
BILL ENSURES THAT CALIFORNIANS

DOCTOR, WOULD YOU MAY OPEN.
THANK YOU, MADAM SPEAKER. I RISE
TO PRESENT SB 1423 ON BEHALF OF
SENATOR DASCHLE. MANY HOSPITALS
ARE NOT FULLY REIMBURSED FOR
THEIR MEDI-CAL EXPENSES, MEANING
THEY LOSE MONEY ON EVERY
MEDI-CAL PATIENT THEY SERVE. THE
CURRENT FORMULA IS SIMPLY NOT
WORKING FOR MANY HOSPITALS,
ESPECIALLY THOSE IN OUR RURAL
COMMUNITIES. HOSPITAL FINANCE IS
A COMPLICATED ISSUE WITH MANY
MOVING PARTS, SO THIS BILL LAYS
THE FOUNDATION FOR THE ESSENTIAL
WORK THAT MUST BE DONE TO
PROTECT OUR VULNERABLE
HOSPITALS. SB 1423 REQUIRES THE
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH CARE
SERVICES TO CONVENE A RURAL
HOSPITAL TECHNICAL ADVISORY
GROUP TO LOOK INTO THE EXISTING
MEDI-CAL REIMBURSEMENT
METHODOLOGIES AND HOW THOSE
METHODOLOGIES CAN BE IMPROVED TO
INCREASE THE FINANCIAL VIABILITY
OF CRITICAL ACCESS HOSPITALS.
THE ADVISORY GROUP WOULD CONSIST
OF VARIOUS STAKEHOLDERS AND
WOULD REPORT BACK TO THE
LEGISLATURE BY MARCH 31ST, 2026.
IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT RURAL
HOSPITALS REMAIN OPEN BECAUSE OF
CRITICAL ACCESS. HOSPITALS ARE
FORCED TO CLOSE IT SEVERELY
LIMITS THE OPTIONS FOR THOSE
LIVING IN RURAL AREAS. SB 1423
IS AN ESSENTIAL STEP IN
PROTECTING OUR MOST AT RISK
HOSPITALS, WHICH SERVE THE MOST
VULNERABLE CALIFORNIANS, AND I

BURNING. SB 310 WOULD RECOGNIZE
TRIBAL SOVEREIGNTY WITH RESPECT
TO CULTURAL BURNING PRACTICES
DEFINED AS THE INTENTIONAL
APPLICATION OF FIRE BY CULTURAL
FIRE PRACTITIONERS TO ACHIEVE
CULTURAL GOALS AND OBJECTIVES.
THE BILL WOULD VEST AUTHORITY IN
THE SECRETARY OF NATURAL
RESOURCES TO DECIDE IF, IN
RECOGNITION OF TRIBAL
SOVEREIGNTY, CERTAIN STATE
APPROVALS FOR CULTURAL BANNING.
BURNING. BURNING MAY BE WAIVED.
TRIBES AND NATIVE PEOPLE HAVE
RETAINED CONTROL AND SOVEREIGNTY
OVER CULTURAL BURNING SINCE TIME
IMMEMORIAL. PURSUANT TO AN
AGREEMENT WITH THE STATE
RESOURCES SECRETARY, NATIVE
AMERICAN TRIBES WOULD NOT ONLY
BE ABLE TO CONTINUE THEIR

ALSO BENEFIT FROM PROTECTIONS
GRANTED TO CERTIFIED BURN BOSSES
AND HAVE ACCESS TO THE

METHODOLOGY METHODOLOGY TO

PROJECTS IN TRANSIT PRIORITY
AREAS FOR PROJECTS WITH HIGH
VMT. THE DEVELOPER MAY BE
ASSESSED A VMT MITIGATION FEE OR
BE REQUIRED TO BUILD IN
AMENITIES OR DESIGN FEATURES
THAT REDUCE VMT, SUCH AS
IMPROVING OR INCREASING ACCESS
TO TRANSIT OR BICYCLE PARKING.
WHILE MANY OF THOSE PROJECT
AMENITIES ARE NOT A DIRECT FEE,
THEY STILL RESULT IN INCREASED
COSTS TO DEVELOPERS, WHICH ARE
PASSED OFF TO BUYERS. FOR
EXAMPLE, A PROPOSED VMT
MITIGATION FEE RANGED FROM
50,000 TO 2 MILLION PER NEW HOME
FOR A RECENT HOUSING PROJECT OUT
OF SAN DIEGO COUNTY. THE BILL
REQUIRES THE DEPARTMENT OF
HOUSING AND COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT TO CONDUCT A STUDY
OF THE IMPLEMENTATION AND IMPACT
OF VM VMT ON HOUSING PROJECTS.
THE STUDY WILL INCLUDE AN
ANALYSIS OF THE DIFFERENCES IN
VMT MITIGATION MEASURES USED
WITH RURAL, SUBURBAN AND URBAN
HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS AND WAYS TO
MITIGATE FOR VMT WHERE ACTIVE OR
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION ARE
INFEASIBLE. A COMBINATION OF
STUDY IS NECESSARY TO DRAW
ATTENTION TO ANY OPPORTUNITIES
FOR IMPROVEMENT IN VMT ANALYSIS.

MEDICATION TREATMENT ORDER MADE
AT THE BEGINNING OF AN
INVOLUNTARY HOLD TO REMAIN IN
EFFECT WHILE A COURT MAKES A
CAPACITY DETERMINATION DURING A
HEARING PRIOR TO THE START OF
THE NEXT HOLD. THIS HOLDOVER
TREATMENT PROVISION WILL PREVENT

PATIENT, REMOVE UNNECESSARY
CLINICAL RISK AND MAINTAIN THE
PATIENT'S DUE PROCESS RIGHTS.
WHILE WE NEVER WANT TO
INVOLUNTARILY HOLD OR TREAT A
PATIENT LONGER THAN NECESSARY,
MEDICALLY INDICATED TREATMENT IS
BEING INTERRUPTED BECAUSE THE
TIMING OF THE REYES HEARINGS DO
NOT ALWAYS ALIGN WITH THE
COURT'S CALENDAR. THIS LEADS TO
PATIENTS DECOMPENSATING AND

TO FINANCIAL FRAUD, THEY MAY
NEVER RECOVER AS MANDATED
REPORTERS. FINANCIAL
INSTITUTIONS ARE WELL POSITIONED
TO DETECT ELDER FINANCIAL ABUSE,
TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT ELDERS
AND THIS BILL GIVES THEM THE
TOOLS TO DO SO. BANKS AND CREDIT
UNIONS WOULD HAVE WOULD HAVE
LIABILITY PROTECTIONS FOR DOING
WHAT HAS BEEN ASKED OF THEM. AND
THAT IS NUMBER ONE, NOTIFY A
JOINT ACCOUNT HOLDER OF
EMERGENCY FINANCIAL CONTACT IF
ONE IS PROVIDED AND DELAY BY
THREE BUSINESS DAYS A

SUSPECT IT IS DUE TO FINANCIAL
ABUSE. THIS BILL INCLUDES A

THANK YOU, MADAM SPEAKER, AND
MEMBERS, TODAY I RISE AS A PROUD
CO AUTHOR TO PRESENT SB 366 ON
BEHALF OF SENATOR CABALLERO.
THIS BILL, WHICH HAS BEEN A
COLLABORATIVE EFFORT BETWEEN THE
AUTHOR AND THE DEPARTMENT OF
WATER RESOURCES, SAID CRITICALLY
IMPORTANT WATER SUPPLY TARGETS
FOR THE STATE AND MODERNIZES THE
CALIFORNIA WATER PLAN. IN APRIL
OF THIS YEAR, GOVERNOR NEWSOM
ANNOUNCED 81 NEW TARGETS, WHICH
ARE DIRECT DESCENDANTS OF THE
2045 CARBON NEUTRALITY TARGET.
HOWEVER NO SIMILAR TARGETS
FOCUSED ON SUSTAINING OUR WATER
SUPPLY HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED BY
THE LEGISLATURE, DESPITE THE
FACT THAT NEARLY 40 MILLION
CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS DEPEND ON
WATER TO SURVIVE. THE
UNFORTUNATE TRUTH IS THAT
CURRENTLY, THOUSANDS OF
CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS SUFFER FROM
THE LACK OF CLEAN DRINKING WATER.
AS OUR POPULATION CONTINUES TO
GROW AMID CLIMATE CHANGE, IT IS
CRITICAL TO DEVELOP A PLAN FOR A
RELIABLE WATER SUPPLY. A NEW
APPROACH, GUIDED BY STATE
POLICY, MUST BE IMPLEMENTED TO
MEET THE CHALLENGE OF NAVIGATING
CALIFORNIA'S UNCERTAIN WATER
FUTURE. THANK YOU. AND WITH
THAT, I REQUEST AND I VOTE.

WHICH WOULD REQUIRE THE
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION BY

TEMPLATE IS CONVERTED TO A
DIGITAL PLATFORM. WHICHEVER DATE
COMES FIRST. TO TRANSLATE THE
IEP TEMPLATE INTO THE TOP TEN
MOST COMMONLY SPOKEN LANGUAGES
AND MAKE THOSE TEMPLATES
AVAILABLE TO THE DEPARTMENT'S
WEBSITE. THE IEP PROCESS CAN BE
VERY OVERWHELMING AND
INTIMIDATING FOR SOMEONE WHO IS
NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE PROCESS OR
THE TERMINOLOGY, ESPECIALLY IF
THAT PERSON'S PRIMARY LANGUAGE
IS NOT ENGLISH. THE LACK OF A
TIMELY AND ACCURATE TRANSLATED
IEP DOES A GREAT DISSERVICE TO
BOTH PARENTS AND STUDENTS. SB
445 IS A GOOD STEP IN THE RIGHT
DIRECTION FOR FAMILIES AND
SCHOOL DISTRICTS, AND HAS
ENJOYED BIPARTISAN SUPPORT AND

GRAYSON, YOU MAY OPEN ON SB 758.
THANK YOU, MADAM SPEAKER. I DO
RISE TO PRESENT SB 758, THE GUN
TRAFFICKING PREVENTION ACT. IN
2021, CALIFORNIA SAW THE HIGHEST
NUMBER OF GUNS TRACED BACK TO
SOURCES OUTSIDE THE STATE, WITH
15,942 FIREARMS ORIGINATING FROM
OTHER JURISDICTIONS. TRAGICALLY,
CALIFORNIA HAS EXPERIENCED
NUMEROUS MASS SHOOTINGS WHERE
THE PERPETRATORS OBTAINED
ILLEGAL FIREARMS FROM OUTSIDE
OUR STATE. ONE EXAMPLE IS THE
GILROY GARLIC FESTIVAL SHOOTER,
WHO PURCHASED A WEAPON LEGAL IN
NEVADA BUT BANNED HERE IN
CALIFORNIA. SB 758 PLACES
FURTHER RESTRICTIONS ON THE
ILLEGAL SALE AND TRANSFER OF
FIREARMS. SPECIFICALLY, THE BILL
MAKES IT A CRIME FOR ANY
INDIVIDUAL TO PURCHASE A OR
RECEIVE A FIREARM FROM A DEALER
WHEN THEY KNOW THAT THE FIREARM
IS BEING DELIVERED ILLEGALLY.
ADDITIONALLY, THE BILL DOES
EXPAND THE SCOPE OF SEVERAL
CRIMES RELATED TO THE ILLEGAL
TRANSFER OF HANDGUNS, MAKING
THEM APPLICABLE TO THE ILLEGAL
TRANSFER OF SEMIAUTOMATIC
CENTERFIRE RIFLES AS WELL. THESE
OFFENSES WOULD BE PUNISHABLE AS

REQUIRES THE OFFICE OF THE
GOVERNOR TO MAINTAIN ON ITS
WEBSITE A LIST OF ALL STATE
BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS,
INCLUDING THE PURPOSE,
MEMBERSHIP LIST, AND INFORMATION,
AND ON WHEN THEY CONVENE. THE
BILL ALSO REQUIRES AN ANNUAL
REPORT WITH AGGREGATED
DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION OF
INDIVIDUALS APPOINTED TO THE
STATE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS. IT
IS ESSENTIAL TO GATHER FACTS TO
HELP US INSTITUTIONALIZE BEST
PRACTICES AND GAINS MADE TO
DIVERSIFY THE STATE'S BOARDS AND
ITS COMMISSIONS. WITHOUT DATA TO
GUIDE THE APPOINTMENT PROCESS,
WE WILL CONTINUE TO SEE GAPS IN
GEOGRAPHIC, GENDER, ETHNICITY
AND VETERAN REPRESENTATION,
AMONGST OTHERS. CALIFORNIA HAS
EXPRESSED A COMMITMENT IN STATE
STATUTE TO ENSURE STATE BOARDS
AND COMMISSIONS ARE DIVERSE AND
REFLECTIVE OF THE STATE.
HOWEVER, NO FORMAL MECHANISM
EXISTS TO EVALUATE THIS
COMMITMENT FOR STATEWIDE BOARDS
AND COMMISSIONS. SB 782 PROVIDES
THE MISSING THE MISSING

CAUCUS, AND I AM THE PRINCIPAL

ARE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MR.

PRINCIPAL COAUTHOR FOR SB 1043.
THE ACCOUNTABILITY IN CHILDREN'S
TREATMENT ACT BY SENATOR GROVE,
WHICH WOULD CREATE MORE
TRANSPARENCY SURROUNDING THE USE
OF RESTRAINTS AND SECLUSION
ROOMS IN SHORT TERM RESIDENTIAL
THERAPEUTIC PROGRAMS, ALSO KNOWN
AS STPS. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO
ACKNOWLEDGE AND THANK THE
SPONSOR OF THIS BILL, THE CEO OF
1111 MEDIA IMPACT, PARIS HILTON.
IT WAS AN HONOR TO MEET WITH HER
AND OTHER SURVIVORS OF THE
TROUBLED TEEN INDUSTRY WHO HAVE
BEEN DIRECTLY IMPACTED BY THE
IMPROPER USE OF SECLUSION AND
RESTRAINTS. SOME OF CALIFORNIA'S
MOST VULNERABLE CHILDREN ARE
HOUSED IN STPS, INCLUDING FOSTER
YOUTH WHO HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY
SEXUALLY EXPLOITED. WITH THIS
KNOWLEDGE, WE MUST REQUIRE THE
HIGHEST LEVEL OF TRANSPARENCY
AND ACCOUNTABILITY IN THIS
VULNERABLE POPULATION. SB 1043
IS A TRANSPARENCY MEASURE WHICH
WILL REQUIRE CDSS DISPLAY ON ITS
WEBSITE DATA REGARDING THE USE
OF RESTRAINTS AND SECLUSION
ROOMS IN SPS. CALIFORNIA HAS
ALREADY INVESTED MILLIONS TO
BRING YOUTH HOUSED IN OUT OF
STATE FACILITIES BACK TO
CALIFORNIA BECAUSE ABUSIVE
PRACTICES WERE EXPOSED. IT ONLY
MAKES SENSE TO ENSURE THAT THERE
IS TRANSPARENCY ACCOUNTABILITY
AS IT RELATES TO THEIR CARE.
HERE IN CALIFORNIA. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR VOTE.

SB 1061. SENATOR LEÓN LIMÓN BY
ASSEMBLY MEMBER FRIEDMAN. THE
CLERK WILL READ. SENATE BILL
1061 BY SENATOR LEÓN AND OTHERS
RELATING CONSUMER DEBT. ASSEMBLY
MEMBER FRIEDMAN, YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MR.
SPEAKER. I'M PROUD AS A COAUTHOR
TO RISE TO PRESENT SB 1061 FROM
SENATOR LIMÓN, WHICH SEEKS TO
REMOVE MEDICAL DEBT FROM
CONSUMER CREDIT REPORTS. PEOPLE
WHO RUN UP MEDICAL DEBT DON'T DO
SO BY CHOICE. THEY DO SO BECAUSE
OF BAD HEALTH, BECAUSE OF AN
ACCIDENT, BECAUSE OF GENETICS,
OR JUST BAD LUCK. MEDICAL DEBT
ALSO WAY DISPROPORTIONATELY
AFFECTS LOW INCOME PEOPLE, BLACK
AND LATINO COMMUNITIES, AND
YOUNG PEOPLE WHO ARE LESS LIKELY
TO HAVE SAVINGS OR OTHER WEALTH
TO ABSORB THE FINANCIAL BURDEN
OF THIS KIND OF DEBT. IN
ADDITION TO BEING
NON-DISCRETIONARY AND OUTSIDE
THE CONTROL OF THE PATIENT,
MEDICAL DEBT THAT'S REPORTED TO
CREDIT AGENCIES IS OFTEN
INACCURATE, WHETHER DUE TO
BILLING ERRORS, MISTAKES WITH
REIMBURSEMENTS, OR ONGOING
DISPUTES WITH INSURANCE PLANS.
HOW MANY OF US HAVE NOT CAUGHT A
MISTAKE FROM AN INSURANCE
COMPANY OR A MISTAKEN BILL THAT
YOU PAID? I KNOW IT'S HAPPENED
TO ME. IT'S HAPPENED TO MY
FAMILY. MANY PEOPLE DON'T NOTICE
THIS OR DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX
IT. WHEN A CONSUMER DISCOVERS
MEDICAL DEBT ON THEIR CREDIT
REPORT, THEY MAY NOT KNOW WHY
IT'S THERE OR WHO TO CONTACT TO
VERIFY THAT THE AMOUNT THEY
ALLEGEDLY OWE IS REAL OR
ACCURATE. THE PROCESS OF
DETERMINING WHETHER AN ALLEGED
MEDICAL DEBT IS ACCURATELY
REPORTED IS VERY TIME CONSUMING,
VERY FRUSTRATING TO CONSUMERS,
MANY OF WHOM JUST GIVE UP. ON
TOP OF THESE CHALLENGES, MEDICAL
DEBT IS LESS PREDICTIVE OF A
CONSUMER'S WILLINGNESS AND
ABILITY TO PAY FUTURE CREDIT
OBLIGATIONS THAN OTHER FORMS OF
CONSUMER DEBT. THE BILL DOES NOT
FORGIVE DEBTS, NOR DOES IT
RESTRICT COLLECTION PRACTICES
RELATED TO MEDICAL DEBT, SUCH AS
CONTINUOUS OUTREACH BY DEBT
COLLECTORS. WHILE THIS BILL DOES
NOT SOLVE ALL OF THE PROBLEMS
WITH MEDICAL DEBT, REMOVING
MEDICAL DEBT FROM CREDIT REPORTS
WILL GIVE CONSUMERS A BETTER
CHANCE TO RESTORE THEIR
FINANCIAL HEALTH WHILE THEY TAKE
CARE OF THEIR PHYSICAL AND
MENTAL HEALTH. I RESPECTFULLY
REQUEST THAT I VOTE IN SB 1061.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ASSEMBLY
