GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE AT OF
COURTESY. WE'RE GOING TO WAIT
FOR ANOTHER TWO MINUTES FOR A
REPUBLICAN COLLEAGUE TO SHOW UP.
AND IF THEY DON'T, WE'RE JUST
GOING TO GET STARTED, BUT FOR
ALL OF THE STAFF OF THE MEMBERS
ON THE COMMITTEE WHO ARE
WATCHING, GO FIND YOUR MEMBER,
DRAG THEM TO ROOM 11, 1100, THE
SOONER EVERYONE GETS HERE, THE
SOONER EVERYONE CAN GO ABOUT
THEIR MERRY DAY. I HEAR THEY
HAVE STALE ENGLISH MUFFINS AND
PEANUT BUTTER IN THE MEMBERS
LOUNGE, SO LET'S DO THIS. I'M
READY. OKAY. THANKS, FOLKS. BYE
BYE. NOW.
ALL RIGHT, WE SPOKE IT INTO
EXISTENCE. GOOD MORNING. WELCOME
TO TODAY'S BUSINESS AND
PROFESSIONS COMMITTEE HEARING,
WHERE WE WILL BE HEARING JUST
ONE VERY IMPORTANT BILL THAT WAS
REFERRED TO THIS COMMITTEE
PURSUANT TO RULE 77.2. SENATE
BILL 1451 BY SENATOR AND SENATE
BNP CHAIR ASHBY. I KNOW YOU CALL
IT SOMETHING OTHER THAN BNP.
IT'S BNP AND OTHER THINGS. AS
WITH ALL OUR HEARINGS, WE WILL
BE ALLOWING PRIMARY WITNESSES TO
SPEAK FOR UP TO TWO MINUTES
EACH, WITH UP TO TWO PRIMARY
WITNESSES PER SIDE. WITNESSES
ARE ENCOURAGED TO TAILOR THEIR
REMARKS TO PROVISIONS IN THE
BILL THAT WERE NOT PREVIOUSLY
DISCUSSED. WHEN THE BILL WAS
HEARD, AND PASSED BY THIS
COMMITTEE EARLIER IN THE YEAR.
ANY ADDITIONAL WITNESSES WILL BE
LIMITED TO THE SAME POSITION ON
THE BILL AND THE ORGANIZATION
THEY REPRESENT, IF ANY. FOR
THOSE WISHING TO PROVIDE FOR
THEIR COMMENTS, WE ARE ACCEPTING
WRITTEN TESTIMONY THROUGH THE
POSITION LETTER PORTAL ON THE
COMMITTEE'S WEBSITE. AND WITH
THAT, WE WILL BEGIN TODAY'S
HEARING. CHAIR ASHBY READY WHEN
YOU ARE. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I
CALL IT BPD BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE
TO LEAVE THE ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT COMPONENT OUT. DARN
RIGHT. IMPORTANT FOR THE STATE
AND OUR TAXES. YES CORRECT. GOOD
MORNING, MEMBERS. HAPPY LAST
WEEK OF SESSION. SB 1451 ALREADY
PASSED THIS COMMITTEE. SO IF
THIS FEELS LIKE DEJA VU, THAT'S
BECAUSE IT IS. WE DID THIS SAME
SONG AND DANCE ON JUNE 25TH, AND
SINCE THEN IT'S BEEN AMENDED TO
RESPOND TO MULTIPLE
STAKEHOLDERS. AND WHEN I SAY
MULTIPLE, I MEAN NEVER ENDING
STAKEHOLDER DISCUSSIONS.
ADMINISTRATION HAS REQUESTED A
FEW TECHNICAL CHANGES AND THERE
HAVE BEEN VARIOUS OTHER CHANGES
THAT ENHANCE THE OPERATIONS OF
NUMEROUS REGULATORY PROGRAMS.
IT'S AN IMPORTANT BILL. I KNOW
YOU KNOW THAT I RESPECTFULLY
REQUEST YOUR. AYE VOTE. THANK
YOU. CHAIR ASHBY, DO YOU HAVE
ANY PRIMARY WITNESSES IN
SUPPORT? I THINK THEY'RE JUST
GOING TO SPEAK FROM THE
MICROPHONE AND TRY TO HELP US
MOVE IT ALONG. BEAUTIFUL. ANY
PRIMARY WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION?
YOU WANT TO COME ON UP TO THE.
COME ON UP. TWO MINUTES. TWO
MINUTES EACH. TWO PRIMARY
WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION. WE
DON'T NEED TWO. ONE IS
SUFFICIENT. YEAH. YES, PLEASE.
YEAH. HEY. GOOD MORNING. GOOD
MORNING. CHAIR AND MEMBERS.
GEORGE TORRES, THE CALIFORNIA
MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, WE
RESPECTFULLY ARE STILL OPPOSED,
UNLESS AMENDED TO SB 1451, WE DO
WANT TO THANK THE SENATOR AND
HER STAFF AND THIS COMMITTEE FOR
ALL OF THE HARD WORK ON THIS
OVER THE PAST MANY MONTHS. AND
WE UNDERSTAND IT'S REALLY
COMPLEX, BUT WE STILL HAVE TO BE
HERE TO REFLECT OUR POSITION. WE
HAVE ONE PRIMARY CONCERN
REMAINING, AND THAT DEALS WITH
THE TRANSITION TO PRACTICE, THE
BILL STILL ELIMINATES THE
REQUIREMENT THAT A NURSE
PRACTITIONER MUST COMPLETE A
VARIATION OF A THREE YEAR
REQUIREMENT IN ONE OF SIX
DIFFERENT MEDICAL CATEGORIES,
AND WE WOULD STILL RESPECTFULLY
REQUEST THAT THERE'S SOME
PORTION OF THAT, PROVEN IN ONE
OF THOSE SIX SPECIALTY
CATEGORIES. JUST WANTED TO
REFLECT AS WELL, THE RECENT
AMENDMENT ON THE EXTENSION OF
PHARMACIST PRESCRIBING PAXLOVID
FOR ONE MORE YEAR, THAT WE HAVE
CONCERNS WITH THAT, WE
APPRECIATE THE CONSIDERATION AND
THE TIME AND, HAPPY TO ANSWER
QUESTIONS AT THE APPROPRIATE
TIME. THANK YOU SIR. ANY
ADDITIONAL WITNESSES, ANY
ADDITIONAL PRIMARY WITNESSES IN
OPPOSITION? SEEING NONE. LET'S
JUST DO EVERYONE AT ONCE METOOS
SUPPORT OR OPPOSE. COME ONE,
COME ALL. NAME. ORGANIZATION
YOU'RE WITH, IF ANY, IN POSITION
ON THE BILL. GOOD MORNING,

RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE WITH OUR
COLLEAGUES IN OPPOSITION FROM
CMA, BUT WE'LL SAVE THAT
CONVERSATION FOR ANOTHER DAY.
THANK YOU. WE'RE GOING TO
CONSIDER THAT A TRICKY PRIMARY
WITNESS. AND SUPPORT WHO WAITED
FOR THE OPPOSITION SO THAT THEY
COULD THEN COUNTER THEIR
ARGUMENTS. GOOD MORNING, LINDSAY

LITTLE LONGER SINCE WE HEARD IT
EARLIER THIS YEAR. I APPRECIATE
YOUR CONTINUED WORK TO ADDRESS
STAKEHOLDER CONCERNS, INCLUDING
THROUGH AMENDMENTS NARROWING
WHAT WAS PREVIOUSLY HEARD AND
PASSED BY THIS COMMITTEE. SO WE
HAVE NARROWED WHAT WAS
PREVIOUSLY PASSED BY THIS
COMMITTEE. AND I CONTINUE TO
BELIEVE THAT THIS BILL IS WORTHY
OF PASSAGE, PARTICULARLY GIVEN
NEW PROVISIONS RECENTLY ADDED TO
THIS BILL THAT I AGREE ARE
IMPORTANT AND TIMELY. I'LL BE
HAPPY TO SUPPORT THE BILL WHEN
WE HAVE A QUORUM. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH. THANK YOU EVERYBODY. SO

TEAM MEMBERS. LAST PERSON TO
SHOW UP IS KICKED OFF THE
COMMITTEE NEXT YEAR. HOW ABOUT
