ASK OUR GUESTS AND VISITORS IN
THE REAR OF THE CHAMBER AND IN
THE GALLERY TO PLEASE STAND FOR
THE PRAYER AND THE FLAG SALUTE.
THE DAY'S PRAYER WILL BE OFFERED
BY ASSEMBLY MEMBER KALRA. THANK
YOU, MR. SPEAKER. YOU KNOW, WHEN
I WAS YOUNGER, ALMOST EVERY DAY
I WOULD JOIN MY FATHER FOR HIS
DAILY EVENING PRAYERS. EVERY
HINDU HOUSEHOLD HAS ITS OWN
LITTLE SPACE FOR PRAYER. AND OUR
CASE, WHEN WE WERE GROWING UP,
WAS A SMALL WALK IN CLOSET THAT
HE CONVERTED INTO A LITTLE
PRAYER ROOM. HE WOULD SHARE
VERSES FROM THE RAMAYANA,
MAHABHARATA, OR OTHER SCRIPTURES
OR READINGS. OFTENTIMES HE WOULD
RECOUNT A STORY FROM HIS
CHILDHOOD OR SOMETHING HIS
PARENTS OR GRANDPARENTS MAY HAVE
DONE OR SAID THAT STAYED WITH
HIM LONG AFTER THEIR PASSING.
OUR CONVERSATIONS FROM THOSE
MOMENTS WE SHARED HAVE STAYED
WITH ME DECADES LATER. MY
FATHER'S HINDU HINDU FAITH HAS
MEANT A LOT TO HIM, AND I KNOW
HE WAS ESPECIALLY PROUD WHEN I
BECAME THE FIRST HINDU TO SERVE
IN THE CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE.
TO ME, MY HINDU UPBRINGING
INSTILLED IN ME MANY QUALITIES
THAT LED ME TO A PATH OF SERVICE,
INCLUDING THE CONCEPT OF NOT
BEING ATTACHED TO MATERIAL
WEALTH OR SELFISH GOALS THAT
WOULD ONLY UPLIFT MYSELF. A
VERSE FROM THE BHAGAVAD GITA
THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE
TODAY, THAT I BELIEVE CAN GUIDE
ALL OF US IN OUR MUTUAL WORK IS
THIS. STRIVE CONSTANTLY TO SERVE
THE WELFARE OF THE WORLD BY
DEVOTION TO SELFLESS WORK, ONE
ATTAINS THE SUPREME GOAL OF
LIFE. DO YOUR WORK WITH THE
WELFARE OF OTHERS ALWAYS IN MIND,
AND I WILL END WITH THE CALL OF
PEACE, ALONG WITH A COMMON
SANSKRIT MANTRA THAT SIMPLY
SERVES TO AWAKEN US TO THE
ABSOLUTE TRUTH, TO OUR TRUE OR
HIGHER SELF, BEYOND THE PHYSICAL
BODY. OM SHANTI. HARI OM. THAT'S
AT. THANK YOU, ASSEMBLY MEMBER
KALRA. PLEASE JOIN ASSEMBLY

PROMPTLY AT 230. WE WILL BEGIN

YOU AND. AND WE WILL COME BACK
TO YOU LATER, MAYBE EVEN
TOMORROW. BUT WE WILL START AT

FINISH BY AROUND SEVEN TONIGHT,
BUT WE WERE ALREADY STARTED A
HALF AN HOUR LATE. SO IF THE
SOONER WE GET HERE AND CAN BE IN
THE CHAMBER AND WE CAN WORK
THROUGH OUR BUSINESS, THE MORE
OPPORTUNITY WE MAY HAVE A CHANCE
TO BREAK A LITTLE EARLIER
TONIGHT THAN WE DID LAST NIGHT.
AND PREPARE YOURSELF FOR A LONG
DAY TOMORROW. SO I WOULD REALLY
APPRECIATE IF PEOPLE COULD MAKE
IT BACK BY 230, BECAUSE WE WILL
START PROMPTLY AT 230. NOW, SOME
OF THOSE COMMITTEES ARE MEMBERS
WHO PAY ATTENTION. IT'D BE GREAT.
APPRECIATE THAT. SOME OF THOSE
COMMITTEES THAT ARE ON CALL OF
THE CHAIRS WILL HAPPEN IN THAT 1
TO 230 PERIOD. SO WE WILL HAVE
MORE INFORMATION ON THAT AS AS
WE GO FORWARD. THE OTHER THING
WE'RE GOING TO DO IS WE'RE GOING
TO BE WORKING THROUGH A LOT OF
CONCURRENCE ITEMS TODAY, AND
WE'RE GOING TO START AT THE TOP
OF THE FILE. NOW, MANY OF THOSE
DON'T SHOW THAT YOU'RE READY,
BUT I'M GIVING YOU A WARNING
NOW. SO IF YOU ARE WE WILL WE
WILL MOVE THROUGH THEM. THERE
MAY BE A FEW THAT WE JUMP BACK
TO. NOT MANY, BUT MY GOAL IS TO
MOVE THROUGH THE ENTIRE
CONCURRENCE FILE. AND IF YOU'RE
NOT AT YOUR DESK AND YOU'RE NOT
READY, YOU GO TO THE BACK OF THE
LINE AND WE'LL COME BACK AROUND.
SO CONCURRENCE IN GENERAL CAN BE
PRETTY BRIEF. SO ANYWAY, JUST
TRYING TO BE AS EFFICIENT AS WE
CAN. AND AND HOPEFULLY GIVE US A
LITTLE BIT OF A BREAK AS WE MAKE
THE FINAL PUSH TOMORROW AND INTO
SATURDAY. SO WITH THAT, I JUST
WANT TO NOTE THAT IT IS NATIONAL
LEMON JUICE DAY, SO MAYBE WE CAN
MAKE LEMONADE OUT OF THAT, OR
USE IT IN COOKING OR WHATEVER.

THANK OUR BUDGET CHAIR AS WELL
AS OUR SPEAKER AND AS WELL AS
OUR PREVIOUS BUDGET CHAIR AND
OUR PREVIOUS SPEAKER FOR THEIR
SUPPORT IN ESTABLISHING THE
FORCED STERILIZATION
COMPENSATION PROGRAM ALONGSIDE
THE VICTIMS COMPENSATION BOARD
MEMBERS. THIS WAS FIVE YEARS IN
THE MAKING, AND IT WAS A NO AND
A NO AND A NO TIME AND TIME
AGAIN UNTIL FINALLY WE WERE ABLE
TO DO IT IN THE BUDGET. AND I
WANT TO EXTEND MY HEARTFELT
THANKS TO ALL THE INDIVIDUALS
THAT THE VICTIMS COMPENSATION
BOARD FOR CARING SO MUCH ABOUT
THE SURVIVORS THAT WERE FORCIBLY
AND UNKNOWINGLY STERILIZED
WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT. THIS
POLICY HAS ALLOWED FOR US TO BE
ABLE TO NOT ONLY RECOGNIZE AND
HONOR THOSE SURVIVORS, BUT ALSO
SHOW A DIRECT IMPACT ON HOW OUR
STATE BUDGET HAS A VERY REAL
EFFECT ON REAL HUMAN BEINGS AND
HOW WE'RE ABLE TO ACKNOWLEDGE
THE INJUSTICES OF THE PAST,
ESPECIALLY WHEN IT CAME TO
FORCED AND UNKNOWN
STERILIZATION. EVERYONE HAS A
RIGHT TO BE A PARENT, AND THAT
SHOULD BE THEIR CHOOSING. AND SO
THIS POLICY ALLOWS FOR THE
PROGRAM TO BE EXTENDED ON THE
APPEALS LEVEL UNTIL JANUARY 1ST
OF 2025. ALLOWS A REVIEW OF THE
DENIED CLAIMS WITH GOOD CAUSE
AND MANDATES. REPORTING ON
JANUARY 1ST OF 2025, AND EXTENDS
THE PROGRAM UNTIL JANUARY 1ST OF
2026, WITH THE REPEAL OF JULY OF
2026. AGAIN, A BIG THANK YOU TO
OUR CHAIR OF BUDGET FOR MAKING
THIS POSSIBLE. AND AGAIN, FOR
ALL OF THE SURVIVORS AND ALL THE
INDIVIDUALS THAT STILL HAVE A
PENDING CASE, KNOW THAT YOU ARE
HEARD. YOU ARE SEEN. THE VICTIMS
COMPENSATION BOARD CARES ABOUT
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU AT A STATE
INSTITUTION WHERE YOU HAVE BEEN
DENIED THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE A
PARENT, TO BE A MOTHER. THAT
SHOULD HAVE BEEN YOUR CHOICE.
AND SO AGAIN, KNOW THAT WE HEAR
YOU, WE SEE YOU AND THAT THE
VICTIMS COMPENSATION BOARD IS
DOING EVERYTHING IT POSSIBLY CAN
TO ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE THE YOU
HAVE AN ANSWER TO YOUR APPEAL.
AND AGAIN, RESPECTFULLY REQUEST
AND I VOTE ON AB 179. AND I AM

CALL OF THE CHAIR IN ROOM 444.
WITHOUT OBJECTION, SUCH SHALL BE
THE ORDER. SPEAKER RIVAS YOU ARE
RECOGNIZING RECOGNIZED FOR
DELIVERING REMARKS IN TRIBUTE TO
RETIRING DCEO STAFF. MARIANNE
CONROW AND BERTA DAVIS. MR.
SPEAKER. THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER,
PRO TEM AND GOOD MORNING,
EVERYBODY. I WANT TO TAKE A
BRIEF MOMENT TO RECOGNIZE AND
CELEBRATE THE RETIREMENT OF TWO
STAFF MEMBERS, MARIANNE CONROW
AND BERTA DAVIS OF OUR OFFICE OF
COMMUNICATIONS AND OUTREACH. AND
SINCE THE EARLY 90S, BOTH OF
THESE INCREDIBLE WOMEN HAVE HELD
SEVERAL ROLES IN OUR STATE
LEGISLATURE, FROM CHIEF OF STAFF
TO LEGE ASSISTANT TO A DISTRICT
DIRECTOR AND OUTREACH
CONSULTANT. AND FIRST, MARIANNE,
WHERE'S MARIANNE? MARIANNE
STARTED HER POLITICAL CAREER IN
HIGH SCHOOL WHEN A FRIEND WAS
SUSPENDED FOR VIOLATING THE
SCHOOL'S HAIR GUIDELINES POLICY.
MARIANNE WAS SO MOTIVATED AND
UPSET BY THE SUSPENSION THAT SHE
WENT TO THE REGISTRAR OF VOTERS
IN AMADOR COUNTY, WHERE SHE
REQUESTED HOME ADDRESSES AND HAD
HER MOTHER ESCORT HER AROUND AS
SHE KNOCKED ON DOORS TO
PERSONALLY SURVEY THE OPINIONS
OF PARENTS. HER GOAL WAS TO
COLLECT AND UNDERSTAND PARENTS
PERSPECTIVES, THEIR ATTITUDES,
AND THEIR PERCEPTIONS TOWARDS
THE SCHOOL'S POLICY ON HAIR
GUIDELINES AND THE IMPACT THAT
THAT YOU KNOW, THE GUIDELINES
WOULD HAVE ON STUDENT ACADEMIC
ACHIEVEMENT. SO, MARIANNE, SHE
SHE PRESENTED HER RESULTS TO THE
SCHOOL BOARD, AND THE SCHOOL
BOARD CHANGED THEIR THEIR HAIR
GUIDELINES, POLICIES, HER
INTEREST IN POLITICS, HER
PERSONAL ACTIVISM ONLY GREW FROM
THERE. AND EVENTUALLY HER
EFFORTS LED HER HERE TO OUR
STATE CAPITOL. SHE WENT ON TO
SERVE UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF
SIX ASSEMBLY SPEAKERS AND
LOOKING FORWARD, MARIANNE PLANS
TO SPEND MORE TIME WITH FAMILY
AND FRIENDS AS SHE WANTS TO
LEARN TO SURF AND HOPES TO
CONTINUE TO GIVE BACK BY
VOLUNTEERING FOR AN ORGANIZATION
THAT UPLIFTS PEOPLE. HER ADVICE
TO YOUNGER STAFFERS IS TO BE
HONEST AND TRUTHFUL. ADMIT YOUR
MISTAKES. ALWAYS KEEP YOUR WORD
AND MASTER AN ISSUE AREA THAT
YOU ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT.
MARIANNE THANK YOU.
FOR THAT. AND NOW WE HAVE MISS
BERTA DAVIS. BERTA BERTA HAS
WORKED IN THE CALIFORNIA STATE
LEGISLATURE FOR MORE THAN 30
YEARS, AND SHE GOT HER START
HERE AT OUR STATE CAPITOL
BECAUSE OF FORMER SPEAKER WILLIE
BROWN. DURING HER FIRST WEEK ON
THE JOB, SHE WAS ON THE
RECEIVING END OF A CALL FROM THE
FORMER SPEAKER. AND BERTA. WELL
SHE PUT THE SPEAKER ON HOLD AND
NATURALLY, SPEAKER BROWN, HE HE
HUNG UP ON HER. SO BERTA QUICKLY
LEARNED THAT YOU NEVER, NEVER
PUT WILLIE BROWN ON HOLD.
ABSOLUTELY. ALL RIGHT. IN HER
MORE THAN 30 YEARS HERE, BERTA
SAYS HER FONDEST MEMORIES
INCLUDE LISTENING TO THE DALAI
LAMA ON THIS VERY FLOOR AND
MEETING HOLLYWOOD ACTRESS HALLE
BERRY WHEN SHE CAME TO THE
CAPITOL TO OFFER TESTIMONY ON AN
ANTI-PAPARAZZI BILL IN
RETIREMENT, SHE PLANS TO SPEND
TIME WITH HER GRANDDAUGHTER, HER
GREAT NIECE AND HER GREAT
NEPHEW. HER BEST PIECE OF ADVICE
TO STAFFERS LEARN AND RETAIN AS
MUCH AS YOU CAN. THANK YOU BERTA
DAVIS, FOR YOUR SERVICE TO OUR
STATE. YOU AND MARIANNE WILL
CERTAINLY BE MISSED AND WE HAVE
SO MUCH GRATITUDE FOR ALL OF
YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS. THANK YOU.
SO.
MUCH.
ANYONE VOIGTS.
MEMBERS. TO ENSURE WE GET YOU TO
YOUR COMMITTEES ON TIME, WE'RE
GOING TO GO AHEAD AND GET BACK
ON THE FILE STARTING WITH THE
MAJORITY LEADER ON HER MOTION,
MEMBERS. MEMBERS, CAN I HAVE
YOUR ATTENTION, PLEASE? THE
MAJORITY LEADER IS RECOGNIZED
FOR HER MOTION. MADAM SPEAKER, I
REQUEST UNANIMOUS CONSENT TO
SUSPEND JOINT RULE 62 A THE
FINAL NOTICE REQUIREMENT TO
ALLOW THE HOUSING AND COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE TO HEAR AB
1038 FONG AND AB 1413 TÍNH ON
FRIDAY, AUGUST 30TH AT 9 A.M. IN
ROOM 447. WITHOUT OBJECTION,
SUCH SHALL BE THE ORDER.
MEMBERS, WE'RE GOING TO WORK
BACK ON THIS FILE AGAIN. WE'RE
GOING TO PASS TEMPORARILY ON
FILE ITEM NUMBER 23, AB 1038,
TAKING US TO FILE ITEM NUMBER
24, AB 869. THE CLERK WILL READ.
ASSEMBLY BILL 869 BY ASSEMBLY
MEMBER WOOD AND OTHERS RELATING
TO HOSPITALS. DOCTOR WOOD, YOU
MAY OPEN. THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER. I'M GOING TO. I KNOW WE
DON'T USUALLY DO LONG
PRESENTATIONS IN A CONCURRENCE
OF SENTIMENTS, BUT I'M GOING TO
DIVERT FROM THAT TODAY. I WANT
TO START BY TELLING A STORY.
WHEN I WAS PRACTICING DENTISTRY
IN THE LATE 80S, I WENT TO A
DENTAL SOCIETY MEETING. AND AT
THAT MEETING, I, I HAD NOTICED
OVER THE YEARS THAT I WAS
PRACTICING IN A LITTLE TOWN OF
ABOUT 3600 PEOPLE AND ALL OF THE
LEADERSHIP AND ALL OF THE FOCUS
FOR THE DENTAL SOCIETY WAS ON
THE LARGE METROPOLITAN AREA OF
SANTA ROSA, WHICH ISN'T BIG BY A
LOT OF STANDARDS HERE. BUT THAT
WAS THE FOCUS OF THAT. AND I
WENT UP TO ONE OF THE LEADERS OF
THE DENTAL SOCIETY, AND I SAID,
WHY ISN'T THERE MORE RURAL
REPRESENTATION? IT'S A BIG
DENTAL SOCIETY, THREE COUNTIES.
WHY ISN'T THERE MORE RURAL
REPRESENTATION? AND HE LOOKED AT
ME AND HE TURNED AROUND AND
WALKED AWAY. AND THAT REALLY FOR
ME WAS A SEMINAL MOMENT IN MY
FIGHT TO REPRESENT THE FOLKS IN
RURAL COMMUNITIES WAY BACK IN
THE LATE 80S. IT LED ME TO WORK
ON THE DENTAL WITH THE DENTAL
SOCIETY. EVENTUALLY, THE DENTAL
ASSOCIATION, AND EVENTUALLY LED
ME HERE. THEY SAY, DON'T FALL IN
LOVE WITH YOUR BILLS. BUT I FELL
IN LOVE WITH THIS ONE BEFORE. IT
WAS A BILL. I SAY FALL IN LOVE
WITH YOUR BILLS. DON'T. MAYBE
NOT THE BILL ITSELF, BUT THE
PASSION. SHOW SOME PASSION FOR
THE SUBJECT MATTER AND DON'T
QUIT. WE STARTED WORKING ON THIS
THREE YEARS AGO. THREE YEARS
AGO, THIS BILL WAS LEFT THIS
HOUSE A YEAR AGO, 14 MONTHS AGO.
AND SAT IN SENATE HEALTH.
EVENTUALLY YESTERDAY WAS PASSED
OFF THE SENATE FLOOR. SO WHAT
DOES THIS BILL DO? THIS BILL
WOULD AUTHORIZE A DISTRESSED
HOSPITAL LOAN PROGRAM RECIPIENT,
A SMALL HOSPITAL, A RURAL
HOSPITAL, A CRITICAL ACCESS
HOSPITAL, OR A HEALTH CARE
DISTRICT AS DEFINED AND ACCEPTED
AS EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED TO SEEK
APPROVAL FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF
HEALTH CARE. ACCESS AND
INFORMATION FOR DELAY TO THE
JANUARY 1ST, 2030, FOR THE
PURPOSE OF COMPLYING WITH
SEISMIC DEADLINES. AND SO I
HEARD LOUD AND CLEAR FROM OUR
COLLEAGUE FROM SAN JOSE
YESTERDAY THAT WE NEED TO GET
THIS DONE. I ABSOLUTELY AGREE,
WE NEED TO GET THIS DONE. BUT I
WANT YOU TO CONSIDER, FOR A
MINUTE THAT I REPRESENT SIX
CRITICAL ACCESS HOSPITALS AND
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW
WHAT A CRITICAL ACCESS HOSPITAL
IS, IT'S A HOSPITAL THAT HAS 25
BEDS OR LESS. THERE ARE 37IN THE
STATE, AND I HAVE SIX OF THOSE
IN MY DISTRICT. AND IT'S
CHALLENGING. ONE OF THOSE
HOSPITALS HAS NINE BEDS. SO YOU
TELL ME HOW A HOSPITAL LIKE THAT
COMPARES TO YOU KNOW,
CEDARS-SINAI IN LA OR OR OR ANY
KAISER IN OAKLAND OR SUTTER IN
SANTA ROSA. IT DOESN'T COMPARE.
YET WE PUT THE SAME PARAMETERS
AROUND ALL OF THESE HOSPITALS
THAT DON'T HAVE THE SAME REVENUE
SOURCES. THEY DON'T HAVE THE
SAME ACCESS. THEY DON'T HAVE THE
SAME LABOR POOLS IN THOSE AREAS.
AND SO MY PLEA AT ONE POINT WAS
I MET WITH PEOPLE WHO TO TALK
ABOUT HOW CAN WE CHANGE THAT?
AND, AND I SAID, I ASKED FOR
HELP. I ASKED FOR HELP FROM
LABOR. I ASKED FOR HELP FROM A
VARIETY. I ASKED FOR HELP FROM
HCA. I ASKED FOR HELP FROM A LOT
OF FOLKS. HOW CAN WE MAKE A
DIFFERENCE FOR SOME OF THESE
SMALLER HOSPITALS? AND
ORIGINALLY, THIS BILL ONLY HAD
40 HOSPITALS IN IT, ROUGHLY
BECAUSE OF THE CRITERIA WE
CREATED. IT'S UNUSUAL THAT THIS
BILL IS ACTUALLY BIGGER AND MORE
EXPANSIVE THAN IT WAS WHEN IT
STARTED. AND I THINK THAT KIND
OF REFLECTS THE CHALLENGES OF
THE ISSUES THAT WE'RE FACING
WITH HOSPITALS. BUT PART OF THE
REASON I DID THIS IS THAT, YOU
KNOW, IN ASSOCIATIONS AND
THINGS, YOU KNOW, IT'S OFTEN THE
BIG DOGS WITH THE BIG TAILS THAT
WAG FURIOUSLY AND GET ALL THE
ATTENTION. AND A LOT OF THESE
SMALLER HOSPITALS, WHILE THEY'RE
MEMBERS OF THE SAME
ASSOCIATIONS, THEY DON'T GET
THAT ATTENTION. JUST LIKE FOLKS
IN RURAL COMMUNITIES DON'T GET
THE ATTENTION THEY DON'T GET THE
TECHNICAL SUPPORT. THEY DON'T
GET THE HELP THAT THEY ACTUALLY
NEED TO GET. SOME OF THIS DONE.
AND IT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS. BUT
IT'S THE PEOPLE THAT I
REPRESENT. IT'S THE PEOPLE THAT
A LOT OF YOU REPRESENT. THIS
BILL IS BIPARTISAN, BICAMERAL,
AND IT'S A REALLY IMPORTANT IT'S
REALLY IMPORTANT BILL. GIVE
THESE HOSPITALS, SOME OF THEM
SINGLE STORY WOODEN STRUCTURES.
AND ONE IN MY DISTRICT, WE'VE IT
SURVIVED EARTHQUAKES OF 7.0
MAGNITUDE. NEVER LOST A DAY OF
SERVICE, NEVER LOST A DAY OF
SERVICE. BUT IT'S A SMALL
HOSPITAL. IT'S STRUGGLING TO
MAKE ENDS MEET. AND SO THEY
DON'T HAVE THE REVENUE. THEY
DON'T HAVE ALL THAT. SO ALL I
WANTED WAS MORE TIME. AND
REALLY, WHAT I REALLY WANTED WAS
MORE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE, HELP
THESE HOSPITALS COMPLY BECAUSE
THE GOAL IS TO COMPLY, JUST LIKE
MY COLLEAGUES SAID FROM SAN
JOSE, IT'S BEEN 40 YEARS AND
IT'S HARD TO COMPLY. AND WITH
THIS BILL TODAY, WE MIGHT GET
THERE, WE MIGHT GET THERE, AND
WE'VE STILL GOT ANOTHER STEP.
I'VE CONVINCED THE GOVERNOR THAT
THIS IS A GOOD IDEA, AND I HOPE,
I HOPE I HOPE HE WILL SIGN THIS
BILL. BUT I WANT TO THANK SOME
FOLKS WHO HAVE WORKED WITH ME ON
THIS FOR A LONG TIME. LARA
FLYNN, THE CHIEF CONSULTANT FOR
THE HEALTH COMMITTEE. THIS HAS
BEEN A PASSION OF HERS, AS IT
HAS BEEN MINE, AND SHE HAS BEEN
WITH ME EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.
AND SHE'S IN THE BACK OF THE
CHAMBER TODAY, AND I WANT TO SAY
THANK YOU TO LARA. AND I WANT TO
THANK ROSS PALMISANO, WHO WAS
OUR CHIEF CONSULTANT IN THE
HEALTH COMMITTEE, FOR HER HELP
ON THIS. AND I WANT TO THANK MY
FORMER CHIEF, LIZ SNOW, WHO GOT
US STARTED ON THIS THREE YEARS
AGO. BUT I ALSO WANT TO PUT A
SHOUT OUT TO A COUPLE OF OTHER
FOLKS AS WELL, ANGELA PONTES AND
THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE, WHO WE
WORKED WITH. AND I HAVE
TREMENDOUS RESPECT AND
APPRECIATION FOR HER HELP ON
THIS, HELPING TO KEEP THIS THIS
ON THE TRACKS FOR US WHILE WE
COULD HOPEFULLY WORK OUT THE
DETAILS, MATT LEGGETT, THE SEIU
WHO WAS GREAT AND FRANK WITH ME
AND TOLD ME WHAT I NEEDED TO
KNOW TO BE ABLE TO HELP PROTECT
WORKERS AND HOPEFULLY GET THIS
ACROSS THE LINE. AND I
APPRECIATE HIS FRANKNESS AND THE
ABILITY TO WORK ACROSS THE AISLE
WITH ME. AND SO MANY OTHERS. AND
SO THEY SAY, LIKE I SAID, THEY
SAY, DON'T FALL IN LOVE WITH
YOUR BILLS. AND MAYBE YOU
SHOULDN'T, BUT FALL IN LOVE WITH
THE ISSUE. FALL IN LOVE WITH
WITH WHAT YOU NEED TO DO TO HELP
REPRESENT THE PEOPLE THAT YOU
REPRESENT. THAT THAT THAT YOU
WERE ELECTED TO TAKE CARE OF.
SO, SO I SAY THANK YOU,
EVERYBODY AND ASK FOR YOU TO
CONCUR IN SENATE AMENDMENTS ON
THIS BILL. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
DOCTOR. WOULD ASSEMBLY MEMBER
GALLAGHER, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
YEAH. THANK YOU MADAM SPEAKER.
AND MEMBERS, I ALSO WANT TO RISE
IN SUPPORT OF THIS LEGISLATION,
AND I WANT TO THANK THE AUTHOR
FOR MANY YEARS WORKING ON THIS
ISSUE, YOU KNOW, REALLY, REALLY
HAS BEEN A CHAMPION OF RURAL
HOSPITALS, IN MANY DIFFERENT
WAYS. YOU KNOW, I CAN REMEMBER
WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT, YOU
KNOW, ON, ON DIRECT HIRE, YOU
KNOW, AS WELL, YOU KNOW, SEVERAL
YEARS AGO AND GOT THAT, GOT THAT
THROUGH A LOT, A LOT OF HARD
WORK ON THAT. AND, YOU KNOW, AS
WAS SAID, YOU KNOW, OUR RURAL
HOSPITALS, YOU KNOW, ESPECIALLY
HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH SOME
VERY TOUGH TIMES, YOU KNOW, AS
OF LATE GOING THROUGH COVID,
HAVING, YOU KNOW, DIFFERENT,
ISSUES THAT HAVE AFFECTED THEM.
BUT CERTAINLY, MEETING SOME OF
THESE REQUIREMENTS ARE NOT EASY,
AND ESPECIALLY FOR RURAL
HOSPITALS THAT ARE, YOU KNOW, AS
YOU COULD PROBABLY IMAGINE, IN
SOME OF OUR AREAS, THIS IS THE
ONLY HOSPITAL FOR HUNDREDS OF
MILES AROUND, AND WHEN WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW,
MATERNITY CARE AND WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT THE EMERGENCIES WHERE
PEOPLE NEED TO GET TO A HOSPITAL
QUICKLY, WE CAN'T DO WITHOUT
THEM. AND THE HARSH REALITY
RIGHT NOW IS THAT MANY OF THEM
ARE ON THE VERGE OF, YOU KNOW,
GOING OUT OF BUSINESS AND
LEAVING AND THAT THAT IS A SCARY
THING FOR THE AUTHOR AND MYSELF.
AND I KNOW MANY ON OUR SIDE. YOU
KNOW, THE GENTLEMAN FROM FRESNO
HAS, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, WORKED
ON THIS THIS ISSUE, YOU KNOW,
THE GENTLELADY FROM FROM BIEBER
WHO HAS WORKED A LOT ON THIS
ISSUE, SO VERY APPRECIATIVE THAT
WE CAN GET THIS THROUGH. I THINK
THERE'S VERY STRONG BIPARTISAN
SUPPORT FOR THIS TODAY, BUT I AM
THANKFUL THE AUTHOR AND HIS TEAM
WHO'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR
QUITE SOME TIME, AND YOU KNOW,
THE HOPE IS THAT WE WILL GET
THAT DONE TODAY. WE'LL GET THIS
SIGNED BY THE GOVERNOR BECAUSE
IT IS MUCH NEEDED RELIEF FOR OUR
RURAL HOSPITALS. SO THANK YOU.
AND I ASK FOR YOUR VOTE ON THIS
MEASURE. THANK YOU. ASSEMBLY
MEMBER GALLAGHER, ASSEMBLY
MEMBER GARCIA, YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, PRESIDING
OFFICER AND COLLEAGUES, I WANT
TO RISE IN SUPPORT OF THIS BILL,
BUT AT THE SAME TIME,
ACKNOWLEDGE THE WORK OF THE
AUTHOR, WHO HAS BEEN A GREAT
CHAMPION FOR RURAL COMMUNITIES
THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. THIS ISSUE IS REALLY
AT THE CORE OF THE HEALTH AND
WELL-BEING OF OUR COMMUNITIES
THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE STATE. AND
MY DIRECT CONNECTION TO THIS
ISSUE IS SEEING TWO HOSPITALS IN
OUR OWN DISTRICT STRUGGLING TO
KEEP THE LIGHTS ON, AND THE
DOORS OPEN, AND IN SOME CASES,
MAKE PAYROLL, THE NEXT FEW
WEEKS, THIS EFFORT WILL HELP
CREATE A PATH TO ENSURE
FINANCIAL STABILITY FOR OUR
HOSPITALS. AND WITH THE HOPES
OF, YES, BEING ABLE TO COME INTO
COMPLIANCE WHEN IT COMES TO
THESE SEISMIC RETROFITTING
CIRCUMSTANCES OR OTHER ACCESS TO
HEALTH CARE CHALLENGES THAT WE
HAVE. BUT IT'S IMPORTANT THAT
WE, PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE
ISSUE BECAUSE IT'S FAR GREATER
THAN JUST THE IDEA OF HOSPITALS
BEING ABLE TO COME INTO
COMPLIANCE, COMMUNITIES THAT
HAVE CHALLENGES WHEN IT COMES TO
ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE ARE THE
SAME COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE THE
ECONOMIC CHALLENGES, THE
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ISSUES,
AND THE LIST GOES ON. AND ON AND
ON AS IT PERTAINS TO MAKING SURE
THAT WE HAVE A HEALTHY, STRONG
CALIFORNIA FOR EVERYONE. AND
OFTENTIMES WE HEAR CONVERSATIONS
HERE ON WHO SHOULD HAVE AND WHO
SHOULDN'T HAVE ACCESS TO HEALTH
CARE. IT'S A FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT
THAT WE SHOULD ALL BE FIGHTING
FOR. AND IT STARTS WITH THESE
TYPES OF EFFORTS TO MAKING SURE
THAT ALL CALIFORNIANS HAVE THAT
SAME PRIVILEGE AND OPPORTUNITY
TO HAVE THESE SERVICES PROVIDED
TO THEM. SO I JUST WANTED TO
STAND IN STRONG SUPPORT OF THE
BILL, BUT ALSO SAY THANK YOU TO
THE AUTHOR FOR BEING A GREAT
CHAMPION THIS LAST DECADE, FOR
THIS IMPORTANT WORK ON BEHALF OF
MY DISTRICT AND OUR
CONSTITUENTS. WE THANK YOU AND
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN AYE
VOTE. THANK YOU. ASSEMBLY MEMBER
GARCIA, ASSEMBLY MEMBER SORIA,
YOU'RE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU,
MADAM SPEAKER. I TOO RISE IN
SUPPORT OF AB 69. I DO WANT TO
THANK THE AUTHOR FROM HEALDSBURG
AND THE INCREDIBLE WORK HIS TEAM
AND HIMSELF HAS THAT THEY'VE
BEEN DOING TO GET TO THIS POINT.
YOU GUYS HAVE HEARD MY STORY. I
THINK I SOUND LIKE A BROKEN
RECORD, BUT MY COMMUNITY REALLY,
IS, HAS BEEN, YOU KNOW, A VICTIM
OF KIND OF THE DISINVESTMENT
THAT HAS HAPPENED IN RURAL
COMMUNITIES AND WHERE THERE
HASN'T BEEN EQUITY IN INVESTING
IN HOSPITALS, IN AREAS THAT ARE
MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED. AND SO
YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN VERY GRACIOUS
IN HELPING US GET TO A POINT
WHERE WE WILL REOPEN THAT
HOSPITAL, BUT WE CAN'T AFFORD
THIS HOSPITAL, TO CONTINUE TO
HAVE THE SAME CHALLENGES,
ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO
SEISMIC. OBVIOUSLY SEISMIC
COMPLIANCE IS CRITICAL, BUT I
THINK THAT THIS IS A TOOL THAT
WILL HELP THEM GET TO A PLACE OF
STABILITY. AND THIS IS JUST ONE
ISSUE OF THE MANY ISSUES THAT
THESE SMALL, RURAL HOSPITALS ARE
HAVING TO DEAL WITH WHEN IT
COMES TO THE MEDICAL
REIMBURSEMENT RATES, WHICH WE'VE
WE'VE DONE SOME WORK, BUT
THERE'S STILL MORE WORK TO BE
DONE SO THAT OUR RURAL
COMMUNITIES GET THE EQUITABLE
SHARE OF INVESTMENTS SO THAT
THEY CAN CONTINUE TO HAVE
HOSPITALS THAT ARE ACCESSIBLE TO
THE FAMILIES THAT ARE
UNDERSERVED. AND SO TODAY, I
RISE IN SUPPORT OF THIS. I KNOW
THAT IT'S GOING TO HELP MADERA
COMMUNITY HOSPITAL. AND SO I'M
GRATEFUL FOR THE AUTHOR AND THE
INCREDIBLE WORK THAT THEY'VE
BEEN DOING ON THIS ISSUE. THANK
YOU. ASSEMBLY MEMBER SORIA.
ASSEMBLY MEMBER MATHIS, YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU. MEMBERS,
TO OUR AUTHOR. I LOOK BACK AND I
THINK OF THE EIGHT YEARS ON
BUDGET, SUB ONE HEALTH AND HUMAN
SERVICES JUST GRILLING THE
DEPARTMENTS ON THESE ISSUES,
FORCING THEM TO LOOK AT IT,
FORCING THEM TO UNDERSTAND THE
RURAL PERSPECTIVE OF HOW MUCH
HELP WE NEED IN OUR COMMUNITIES.
AND I WANT TO I WANT TO THANK
YOU FOR THAT. I WANT TO THANK
YOU FOR BEING IN THOSE TRENCHES
AND SPEARHEADING THOSE EFFORTS,
BECAUSE WE DO HAVE AND IT'S
FORGOTTEN A LOT BECAUSE THE
MAJORITY OF OUR BODY IS
METROPOLITAN AND THEY DON'T
UNDERSTAND WHAT IT'S LIKE TO
HAVE TO DRIVE AN HOUR, MILES AND
MILES AND MILES. YOU MIGHT DO AN
HOUR IN TRAFFIC, BUT IT'S NOT
MILES AND MILES. IT'S NOT A
WHOLE DAY AWAY FROM HOME. IF
SOMETHING HAPPENS AND YOU HAVE
TO GO TO A HOSPITAL AND. I THINK
ABOUT IT. WHEN I WAS A KID, I
REMEMBER A TIME MY LITTLE
BROTHER GOT HURT AND WE HAD TO
DRIVE HIM AN HOUR AND A HALF
DOWN THE HILL, BLEEDING OUT JUST
TO GET TO AN ER, JUST TO WAIT IN
LINE AT THE ER. WE DEAL WITH
THIS SEISMIC THING AND IT'S A
ONE SIZE FITS ALL AS THE AUTHOR
MENTIONED, THE WAY EARTHQUAKES
AFFECT THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY IS
DIFFERENT. THE WAY THEY AFFECT
THE NORTH STATE IS DIFFERENT.
BUT YET THESE STANDARDS, IT'S A
BLANKET POLICY. WE ALL WANT TO
MAKE SURE WE HAVE SAFE, SECURE
HOSPITALS. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE
PEOPLE HAVE SOMEWHERE TO GO TO
WORK. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE IN
THE EVENT OF A NATURAL DISASTER,
THAT THESE HOSPITALS ARE STILL
STANDING. BUT WE HAVE A
RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE SURE THAT
THE HOSPITALS GET THE FUNDING
THEY NEED TO GET THEIR COVID
KILLED. A LOT OF THEM. MADERA
HOSPITAL WAS MENTIONED. I HAD
TULARE HOSPITAL SHUT DOWN EVEN
BEFORE THAT, AND WE HAD TO FIGHT
LIKE HELL WITH A LOT OF YOUR
HELP TO GET IT REOPENED. AND SO
WE HAVE THESE COMMUNITY
HOSPITALS THAT ARE ON THE
CHOPPING BLOCK THAT DON'T HAVE
THE HELP. THEY DON'T HAVE THE
NEEDS TO GET TO WHERE THEY NEED
TO BE. AND IT IS INCUMBENT UPON
THIS BODY TO DO EVERYTHING THAT
WE CAN. THIS MEASURE HELPS US
GET THERE. AND IT'S A VERY, VERY
NEEDED STEP TO MAKE SURE THAT WE
HAVE THAT SAFETY AND SECURITY,
BECAUSE NOBODY WANTS TO LIVE IN
AN AREA WHERE THEY DON'T HAVE A
HOSPITAL THAT THEY KNOW THEY CAN
GO TO. AND SO THIS HELPS US GET
THERE, HELPS US KEEP THAT SAFE.
BUT NOW WE THIS WILL GIVE US
THAT NEW DEADLINE THAT WE
REALLY, REALLY NEED TO STEP UP
AND GET TO. SO MEMBERS HELP US
TAKE THOSE STEPS, HELP US GET
THERE. AND AGAIN, I WANT TO
THANK THE AUTHOR AND REALLY
EVERYBODY THAT'S BEEN IN THIS
FIGHT FOR GETTING US TO THIS
POINT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
ASSEMBLY MEMBER MATHIS. DOCTOR
ARAMBULA, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU, MADAM SPEAKER. AND
MEMBERS. I WASN'T PLANNING ON
SPEAKING TODAY, BUT I FIGURED
SINCE SO MANY OF US WERE, THAT
I'D ADD MY VOICE AS WELL. HAVING
SPENT THE EIGHT YEARS ON SUB
ONE, WE CREATED THE FUNDING
STREAM FOR THIS PROGRAM BACK IN
2021 UNDER SB 395. WHEN THERE
WAS AN EXCISE TAX ON ELECTRONIC
CIGARETTES. AND SO I'M
APPRECIATIVE OF MY COLLEAGUE FOR
HIS CONTINUED DEDICATION TOWARDS
THIS ISSUE. AND RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR AN AYE VOTE. THANK YOU,
DOCTOR ARAMBULA. SEEING NO
OTHERS WISHING TO SPEAK, DOCTOR,
WITH YOUR CLOSING REMARKS. THANK
YOU. I WANT TO THANK MY
COLLEAGUES FOR SPEAKING UP, BUT
I WANT TO POINT WE ACTUALLY THAT
MONEY, QUITE FRANKLY, FROM THE
SENATE. SO WHAT WAS A SENATE
BILL? SO I JUST WANT TO THANK MY
COLLEAGUES, RURAL COLLEAGUES
ESPECIALLY, WHO STOOD UP AND
SPOKE TODAY. REMEMBER, 95% OF
PEOPLE LIVE ON ABOUT 5% OF THE
LANDMASS, AND THE REST OF US
LIVE ON THE OTHER 95%.
CALIFORNIA IS A REALLY, REALLY
DIVERSE STATE. OUR POLICIES
SHOULD REFLECT THE DIVERSITY,
AND WE SHOULD BE WE SHOULD BE
THINKING ABOUT THAT AS WE CRAFT
BILLS, ESPECIALLY THINGS THAT
ARE GOING TO REQUIRE COMPLIANCE.
AND THINK ABOUT WHAT A SMALL
COMMUNITY NEEDS, WHAT A LARGE
COMMUNITY NEEDS. EVERY SINGLE
THING WE DO. WITH THAT, I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR AYE

REQUIRES OIL OPERATORS TO

MR. MATHIS, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER, AND
MEMBERS, I ACTUALLY ENCOURAGE A
NO VOTE ON THIS, SADLY, CAPPING
OUR WELLS ACTUALLY GETS RID OF
ASSETS THAT WE CAN USE FOR
STORING HYDROGEN, AND WE CAN USE
THEM. WE DON'T NEED TO GET RID
OF THESE ASSETS. WE CAN ACTUALLY
TURN THEM OVER AND USE THEM AS
SOURCES TO STORE GREEN HYDROGEN.
SO WE CAN HAVE THAT IN THE
FUTURE. SO CAPPING THEM ACTUALLY
SPENDS MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS TO LOSE AN ASSET, WHICH
JUST LOGICALLY DOESN'T MAKE
SENSE. WE HAD A DEBATE YESTERDAY
ABOUT HOW WE NEEDED HYDROGEN FOR
THE FUTURE. WHERE ARE WE GOING
TO STORE THAT HYDROGEN? WE ARE
ABLE TO STORE IT IN THESE WELLS.
WE CAN TAKE THEM OVER, WE CAN
USE THEM AND THEY CAN BE ASSETS
IN THE GREEN ECONOMY. IT DOESN'T
MAKE ANY SENSE TO BLOW MILLIONS
OF DOLLARS TO LOSE THEM. I ASK
FOR A NO VOTE. THANK YOU, MR.
MATHIS. DO YOU CARE TO CLOSE MR.
HART? THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER,
THERE ARE NEARLY 15,000 IDLE OIL
WELLS IN CALIFORNIA THAT HAVE
NOT PRODUCED IN OVER A DECADE,
AND THERE ARE NEARLY 10,000 IDLE
OIL WELLS THAT HAVE NOT PRODUCED
OIL IN OVER 20 YEARS. MANY OF
THOSE WELLS WERE NOT DRILLED TO
MODERN STANDARDS AND ARE NOT
SUITABLE FOR REUSE, NOTHING IN
THIS BILL PREVENTS AN OPERATOR
FROM APPLYING FOR A PERMIT TO
RETURN A WELL BACK INTO
PRODUCTION, OR PURSUE
ALTERNATIVE USES THAT ARE
CONSISTENT WITH CALIFORNIA LAW.
I RESPECTFULLY URGE AN AYE VOTE.

MEMBER FRIEDMAN, YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MR.
SPEAKER. AND MEMBERS, I RISE TO
PRESENT SB 1374, A BILL THAT I'M
A PROUD JOINT AUTHOR ON, ON
BEHALF OF SENATOR BECKER. THIS
MEASURE IS ESSENTIAL TO ENSURE
CALIFORNIA IS ABLE TO REACH ITS
RENEWABLE ENERGY GENERATION AND
RELIABILITY TARGETS THROUGH
DEPLOYMENT OF DISTRIBUTED ENERGY
RESOURCES. SPECIFICALLY, THE
MEASURE DOES THREE THINGS. IT
REQUIRES A CUP TO APPLY THE SAME
RULES FOR DISTRIBUTED SOLAR TO
SCHOOLS, AND APARTMENT
BUILDINGS, AS IT DOES FOR SINGLE
FAMILY HOMES. BY ALLOWING THEM
TO SELF CONSUME THE ENERGY THEY
GENERATE ON SITE. SO WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT OUR SCHOOLS AND
PEOPLE WHO HAVE APARTMENT
BUILDINGS PUTTING UP SOLAR
PANELS SO THAT THEY CAN USE THE
POWER THEMSELVES. IT REQUIRES
THE CPUC TO LOOK AT WHAT OTHER
SETS OF METERS ARE CLOSE ENOUGH
IN PROXIMITY TO BE CONSIDERED
SELF-CONSUMPTION FOR THE
PURPOSES OF PARTICIPATING IN THE
VIRTUAL NET BILLING TARIFF AND
NET BILLING, AGGREGATION TARIFF
AND AUTHOR AMENDMENTS LAST WEEK
ADDED A SUNSET OF JULY 1ST, 2033
TO THE MEASURE. SO THAT WE CAN
REEVALUATE BEFORE THE PROGRAM
CONTINUES. SIMPLY PUT, THIS
MEASURE ALLOWS OUR PUBLIC
SCHOOLS AND APARTMENT DWELLERS
TO USE THE ENERGY THEY GENERATE
ON THEIR PROPERTIES TO POWER
THEIR OWN FACILITIES. NOT ONLY
WILL THIS MEASURE DECREASE
ENERGY COSTS FOR SCHOOLS AND
RENTERS, IT ALSO HAS THE
POTENTIAL TO OFFSET FUTURE GRID
COSTS BY REDUCING THE DEMAND TO
BUILD TRANSMISSION AND
DISTRIBUTION INFRASTRUCTURE
DEMAND THAT IS GROWING DUE TO
DECARBONIZATION REGULATIONS AND
CLIMATE TARGETS THAT THE STATE
HAS ENACTED. THE BILL SIMPLY
REQUIRES THE PUC TO APPLY THE
SAME RULES TO EVERYONE,
INCLUDING THE ABILITY TO GET
CREDIT FOR SELF CONSUMING THE
ENERGY A SCHOOL OR AN APARTMENT
IS GENERATING FROM ITS OWN SOLAR
PANELS AND SIMULTANEOUSLY ON ITS
OWN PROPERTY. I RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR AN AYE VOTE. THANK YOU.

DRIVERS OF DANGEROUS LANE
DEPARTURES, LANE CENTERING AND

ROAD. UNFORTUNATELY, SOME
DRIVERS ARE CIRCUMVENTING THESE
SAFETY SYSTEMS BY USING
AFTERMARKET AND HOMEMADE DEVICES
DESIGNED TO SIMULATE A DRIVER'S
HANDS ON THE WHEEL BY APPLYING
PRESSURE. MAY HAVE SEEN MY
COLLEAGUE FROM MODESTO DOING
THIS IN HIS TESLA THE OTHER DAY.
I'M NOT SURE. SB 1313 PROHIBITS
INDIVIDUALS FROM USING AND
PURCHASING DEVICES DESIGNED TO
INTERFERE WITH THE VEHICLE'S
SAFETY MONITORING SYSTEM. A
VIOLATION WOULD CONSTITUTE AN
INFRACTION. A RECENT AMENDMENTS
REFLECT TECHNICAL AND CLARIFYING

1059. SENATOR BRADFORD BY
ASSEMBLY MEMBER BONTA. THE CLERK
WILL READ. SENATE BILL 1059 BY
SENATOR BRADFORD. AN ACT TO
CANNABIS. BONTA, YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MR.
SPEAKER. AND MEMBERS, I RISE TO
PRESENT SB 1059 ON BEHALF OF
SENATOR BRADFORD, WHICH WILL
ASSIST THE LEGAL CANNABIS
INDUSTRY BY ALLEVIATING SOME OF
THE TREMENDOUS TAX BURDENS
PLACED ON THIS INDUSTRY. HIGH
TAXES, EXCESSIVE REGULATORY
HURDLES AND VARIOUS CHALLENGES
THAT THE CANNABIS BUSINESSES
FACE HAVE DONE LITTLE TO HELP
THE LEGAL CANNABIS MARKET
SUCCEED THE WAY THAT VOTERS
INTENDED. WHEN PROP 64 WAS
PASSED, SB 1059 WOULD
SPECIFICALLY ELIMINATE LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS COLLECTION OF DOUBLE
TAXATION. IN SOME JURISDICTIONS,
INCLUDING THE CITY OF LOS
ANGELES, LOCAL CANNABIS TAXES OR
FEES ARE CALCULATED AFTER THE
STATE EXCISE TAX IS APPLIED.
THIS CALCULATION METHOD IS
UNFAIR TO CONSUMERS AND
DISADVANTAGES. LICENSED
RETAILERS THAT CONTINUE TO
STRUGGLE AGAINST A THRIVING
ILLICIT MARKET. SB 1059
ADDRESSES THIS ISSUE AND ENSURES
THAT LOCAL TAXES ARE BASED ON
THE ACTUAL GOODS BEING SOLD.
THIS BILL HAS RECEIVED
BIPARTISAN SUPPORT AND HAS NO
OPPOSITION, AND I RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR YOUR AYE VOTE. THANK
YOU, ASSEMBLYMEMBER BONTA.

SB 1286. SENATOR MIN. BY MR.
KALRA. CLERK WILL READ SENATE
BILL 1286 BY SENATOR MIN. AN ACT
TO DEBT COLLECTION. SO, MEMBER
KALRA, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. THANK
YOU, MR. SPEAKER. SB 1286
EXTENDS PROTECTIONS UNDER THE
ROSENTHAL ACT TO INDIVIDUALS WHO
PERSONALLY SIGN FOR THEIR
BUSINESS DEBT, PROTECTING THEM
FROM UNFAIR, DECEPTIVE AND
ABUSIVE DEBT COLLECTION
PRACTICES. SINCE THE 2008
ECONOMIC CRASH, MANY TRADITIONAL
AND NONTRADITIONAL LENDERS
REQUIRE INDIVIDUALS TO
PERSONALLY GUARANTEE THEIR
BUSINESS DEBT, PROVIDING A
PERSONAL GUARANTEE ON A LOAN
OPENS THE DOOR FOR INDIVIDUAL
BUSINESS OWNERS TO BE SUBJECT TO
ABUSIVE DEBT COLLECTION
PRACTICES. SOME OF THESE
PRACTICES INCLUDE THREATS,
CONTACTING BORROWERS AT
INCONVENIENT HOURS, USING FALSE
STATEMENTS, AND ADDING
UNAUTHORIZED INTEREST OR FEES TO
THE AMOUNT OWED. UNDER SB 1286,
THESE BORROWERS WILL STILL BE
RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING THEIR
DEBTS, WOULD NOT BE SUBJECT TO
UNFAIR, DECEPTIVE OR ABUSIVE
COLLECTION PRACTICES. MANY
LENDERS AND COLLECTORS ALREADY
ABIDE BY THE ROSENTHAL ACT FOR
CONSUMER DEBT. THIS BILL SIMPLY
EXTENDS THESE PROTECTIONS TO
INDIVIDUALS WITH A GUARANTEE ON
COMMERCIAL DEBT. I RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR AN AYE VOTE. THANK YOU,
MR. KALRA. SOME MEMBER. DIXON,
YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU,
MR. SPEAKER. I RISE TODAY IN
OPPOSITION TO SENATE BILL 1286.
JUST FOR CLARIFICATION,
PROPONENTS HAVE BEEN TELLING OUR
OFFICES THAT THE AMENDMENTS
REMOVE ALL OPPOSITION. THIS IS
FALSE. AMENDMENTS HAVE NOT
REMOVED ANY OF THE OPPOSITION.
IN FACT, THE AUTHOR REJECTED
ALMOST EVERY SUBSTANTIVE
AMENDMENT OFFERED BY THE
OPPONENTS. FOR EXAMPLE, THE
AUTHOR REFUSED TO LOWER THE
THRESHOLD TO $100,000 LOANS,
WHICH IS MORE APPROPRIATE FOR A
SMALL BUSINESS VERSUS HALF $1
MILLION CURRENTLY IN THE BILL.
THE AUTHOR REFUSED TO ADDRESS A
DISCREPANCY RELATED TO OPEN
ENDED LOANS, SPECIFICALLY, IF AN
AUTO DEALER BORROWS THEN REPAYS
MULTIPLE LOANS IN A YEAR FOR AN
AGGREGATE TOTAL OF $5 MILLION
BORROWED, THEY WOULD BE COVERED
BY THE BILL. THE AUTHOR REFUSED
TO RESOLVE AN ISSUE RELATED TO
THE LOCATION WHERE LAWSUITS MAY
BE FILED AS DRAFTED, A LENDER
MAY NOT FILE SUIT WHERE THE
COLLATERAL IS LOCATED. SUCH AND
SUCH AS AN AUTO SHOWROOM. IF
IT'S IN A DIFFERENT JURISDICTION
THAN THE BUSINESS OFFICE, THIS
WOULD MAKE IT HARDER TO RECOVER
COLLATERAL, WHICH IS THE
AUTHOR'S INTENT FOR THESE
REASONS, I ASK YOU TO JOIN ME IN
OPPOSING SB 1286. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. ASSEMBLY MEMBER DIXON.
MR. KALRA, I RESPECTFULLY ASK

SENATE BILL 1297 BY SENATOR
ALLEN AND OTHERS. AN ATLANTA
VEHICLES ASSEMBLY MEMBER. IRWIN,
YOU ARE RECOGNIZED SPEAKER AND
MEMBERS. I RISE TO PRESENT SB
1297 ON BEHALF OF SENATOR ALLEN
ON AN EVENING LAST OCTOBER, A
SPEEDING DRIVER ON PCH IN MALIBU
LOST CONTROL OF HIS VEHICLE AND
KILLED FOUR PEPPERDINE
UNIVERSITY STUDENTS STANDING ON
THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. SINCE
2010, 60 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED
IN VEHICLE ACCIDENTS ALONG THIS
BEAUTIFUL BUT EXCEEDINGLY
DANGEROUS 21 MILE STRETCH OF
ROADWAY IN MALIBU. SB 1297 WILL
CREATE A SPEED CAMERA PILOT
PROGRAM FOR PCH IN MALIBU,
MODELED SIGNIFICANTLY ON
ASSEMBLY MEMBER FRIEDMAN'S
LEGISLATION PASSED LAST YEAR.
AUTOMATED SPEED CAMERA
ENFORCEMENT IS RECOMMENDED BY
NUMEROUS FEDERAL AGENCIES AS A
PROVEN WAY TO ENFORCE SPEED
LIMITS. THE FEDERAL HIGHWAY
ADMINISTRATION SHOWS THAT SPEED
CAMERAS REDUCE CRASHES ON URBAN
STREETS BY 54%, AND AN NTSB
REVIEW OF SPEED CAMERA PROGRAMS
AROUND THE WORLD FOUND THAT
CAMERAS WERE EFFECTIVE IN
REDUCING FATAL COLLISIONS. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR AYE
VOTE. THANK YOU. ASSEMBLY MEMBER
IRWIN. MR. SALIH, YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MR.
SPEAKER. I THINK WE SHOULD LEARN
OUR LESSON FROM THE RED LIGHT
CAMERAS BECAUSE THOSE ARE VERY
UBIQUITOUS AND POPULAR. AND I
THINK A LOT OF THESE CAMERAS END
UP BEING USED AS A MONEY MAKING
OPERATION BY LOCAL GOVERNMENTS.
AND SO A LOT OF CITIES HAVE
DISCONTINUED THE RED LIGHT
CAMERAS BECAUSE IT REALLY IT
PREYED ON THE MOST POOR IN OUR
SOCIETY. I THINK YOU COULD HAVE
MORE ENFORCEMENT, YOU CAN HAVE
MORE POLICE OFFICERS, BUT THE
LAST THING WE NEED IN THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA ARE SPEED CAMERAS,
TRAP CAMERAS. WE'RE STUCK IN
TRAFFIC SO MUCH. SOMETIMES YOU
GOT TO GO A LITTLE OVER THE
SPEED LIMIT. I DON'T WANT SPEED
CAMERAS ON EVERY TURN, SO I
OPPOSE THIS. THANK YOU, MR.
SPEAKER. THANK YOU, MR. SALIH.

ALL VOTED ON BEFORE BECAUSE IT
MIRRORS THE BILL THAT I CARRIED
THAT WILL GET RID OF THOSE THICK
PLASTIC BAGS THAT YOU USE FOR ON
AVERAGE, 12 MINUTES IN THE
GROCERY STORE AND REPLACE IT
WITH A FRIENDLY PAPER BAG WITH A
HIGH RECYCLED CONTENT THAT YOU
SEE TODAY. THESE BAGS WILL BE
MADE HERE IN CALIFORNIA AND WILL
BE MUCH MORE FRIENDLY TO OUR
ENVIRONMENT. OUR BIRDS, OUR

LET ME TELL YOU, THOSE BEACHES
ARE CONSISTENTLY LITTERED WITH

HAS ORGANIZED BEACH CLEANUPS
THROUGHOUT MY TIME IN THE
OFFICE, AND YET, YEAR AFTER YEAR,
WE PICK UP THESE BAGS. MEMBERS.
OVER THE LAST YEAR I'VE
CONDUCTED AN INFORMAL POLL USING
SOCIAL MEDIA, AND MY
CONSTITUENTS ASKING FOR THEIR
THOUGHTS ON THESE PROPOSALS. AND
UNSURPRISINGLY, 75% OF
RESPONDENTS HAVE SAID THEY
SUPPORT THE GOAL OF THE
LEGISLATION. WHAT NEEDS TO BE
CLEAR IS THAT THIS BILL WILL NOT
OUTLAW 100% OF PLASTIC BAGS.
INSTEAD IT WILL REQUIRE THE
INDUSTRY TO MAKE MORE
SUSTAINABLE ALTERNATIVES AND
MOVE CONSUMERS INTO THE RIGHT
DIRECTION. WHEN WE HAVE NEW DATA
AND SCIENCE SHOWING THE
MICROPLASTICS ARE SHOWING UP IN
OUR MARINE ANIMALS AND YES, EVEN
HUMANS, NOW IS THE TIME FOR US
TO BE PROACTIVE ON THIS ISSUE
FOR THE SAKE OF BOTH OUR
ENVIRONMENTAL AND HUMAN HEALTH.

THIS BILL WOULD PROVIDE
CALIFORNIA TRIBES A LIMITED
AVENUE TO SEEK A DECLARATORY
JUDGMENT IN STATE COURT ON THE
LEGALITY OF CERTAIN CARD GAMES
OPERATED BY LICENSED CARDROOMS
PRIOR TO THE YEAR 2000.
CALIFORNIA LAW EXPLICITLY
PROHIBITED BANKED CARD GAMES
SUCH AS BLACKJACK AND BACCARAT,
WHERE PLAYERS COLLECTIVELY
COMPETE AGAINST THE BANKER
REFERRED TO AS THE HOUSE GAMES
WHERE PEOPLE COMPETE AGAINST ONE
ANOTHER AND THE ROLE OF THE
DEALER ROTATES, WERE AND ARE
LEGAL. IN 2000, 64% OF THE
CALIFORNIA VOTERS GRANTED
CALIFORNIA'S INDIGENOUS PEOPLE
THE AUTHORITY IN THE
CONSTITUTION UNDER PROP ONE Ã
THE RIGHT TO CONDUCT GAMES RUN
BY THE HOUSE. UNDER PROP ONE, A,
TRIBES WERE SPECIFICALLY GIVEN
THE EXCLUSIVE RIGHT TO OPERATE
BANKED CARD GAMES. IN THE
DECADES SINCE, HOWEVER, NO COURT
HAS BEEN ABLE TO OPINE ON THE
EXTENT OF THAT CONSTITUTIONAL
GRANT. THIS LACK OF CLARITY,
COLLEAGUES HAS SERVED AS A BASIS
FOR THE LONG STANDING DISPUTE
BETWEEN CALIFORNIA INDIAN TRIBES
AND THE CALIFORNIA LICENSED
CARDROOMS AND FRANKLY, WE'LL
HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT UNTIL WE
PROVIDE THE VENUE FOR THE
QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED. PRIOR
ATTEMPTS TO RESOLVE THIS DISPUTE
THROUGH THE REGULATORY AND
LEGISLATIVE PROCESSES, OR BY
ELECTORAL INITIATIVE HAVE
FAILED. SB 549 WILL RESOLVE THIS
INTRACTABLE DISPUTE BY GRANTING
CALIFORNIA INDIAN TRIBES THE
LEGAL STANDING TO SEEK A
DECLARATORY JUDGMENT ON WHETHER
CARD GAMES OFFERED BY CARDROOMS
AND BANKED BY A THIRD PARTY
PROPOSITION PLAYER SERVICE
PROVIDER, ARE IN VIOLATION OF
THE CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION. THE
CENTRAL QUESTION OF THIS BILL IS
NOT ABOUT WHAT GAME CARDROOMS
MAY OFFER. THE CENTRAL QUESTION
OF THIS BILL IS SIMPLY WHETHER
WE SHOULD ALLOW A COURT OF LAW
THE OPPORTUNITY TO ANSWER THESE
DECADES OLD QUESTIONS PURELY ON
ITS MERITS. ON BEHALF OF SENATOR
NEWMAN, I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
AN AYE VOTE. THANK YOU. ASSEMBLY
MEMBER AGUIAR-CURRY MR. RAMOS,
YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU,
MR. SPEAKER. I TOO, RISE IN
SUPPORT OF SB 549, PROP FIVE AND
SENATE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
ONE GRANTED TRIBAL GOVERNMENTS
THE RIGHT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH
COMPACTS IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. MANY, BUT NOT ALL
TRIBAL GOVERNMENTS ARE ABLE TO
MOVE FORWARD WITH ECONOMIC
PROSPERITY. TODAY, WE LOOK AT
THE COMPLEXITIES OF CLASS THREE
COMPACTS HERE IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. THE ECONOMIC
SOVEREIGNTY CAME AFTER HUNDREDS
OF YEARS OF BRUTALITY SUFFERED
BY CALIFORNIA'S NATIVE PEOPLE, A
FACT THAT OFFICIALLY
ACKNOWLEDGED BY THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA'S GOVERNOR NEWSOM.
JULY 11, 2023. THROUGH AN
EXECUTIVE ORDER, AN APOLOGY FOR
THE GENOCIDE OF NATIVE AMERICAN
PEOPLE HERE IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. THE COLONIZATION ACT
AND THE GOLD RUSH BROUGHT DOWN A
WAY OF LIFE, OF SURVIVAL TO THE
STATE'S FIRST PEOPLE THAT DURING
THOSE TIMES, CALIFORNIA'S FIRST
PEOPLE LAND WAS TAKEN. AND
DURING THAT TIME THERE WAS NO
BORDERS OR WALLS SEPARATING
CALIFORNIA FROM OTHERS. IT WAS
FREE ROAMING, FREE ROAMING OF
TRIBAL AND CULTURAL ECONOMIC
SUCCESS THAT MOVED THROUGHOUT
THIS TERRITORY. THAT LIFE AND
THE STATEHOOD TOOK THAT AWAY
WITH MILITIAS PAID FOR WITH
TAXPAYERS DOLLARS TO LEGALLY
HUNT AND KILL CALIFORNIA'S FIRST
PEOPLE SO THAT THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA COULD CALL THE STATE
THEIR OWN. AND DESPITE THOSE
ATROCITIES, CALIFORNIA'S FIRST
PEOPLE ARE STILL HERE WITH THE
RESILIENCY OF MOVING FORWARD
TODAY. SB 549 REPRESENTS A VOICE
FOR TRIBES TODAY THAT HAVE FOUND
PROSPERITY THROUGH GAMING. BUT
NOT ALL HAVE FOUND THIS
PROSPERITY. THIS VOICE IS A
VOICE FOR THOSE TO BUILD IN THE
FUTURE. THE FUTURE TRIBES BEING
ABLE TO BUILD ECONOMIC SUCCESS
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA WITH
ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES. SB 549
IS NOT ABOUT WEALTHY TRIBES
FORCING AN ISSUE. IT'S ABOUT THE
FUTURE OF THE TRIBES TO BE ABLE
TO HAVE A CHANCE TO OFFER GAMES
THROUGH CLASS THREE COMPACTS,
AND KNOWING WHAT THE RULES ARE.
SB 549 IS ABOUT TRIBAL
GOVERNMENTS ASKING A JUDICIAL
SYSTEM, A JUDICIAL SYSTEM THAT
HAS NOT BEEN FRIENDLY TO
CALIFORNIA'S FIRST PEOPLE, A
SYSTEM THAT HAS CONSTANT
REMINDER IS A CONSTANT REMINDER
OF A GOVERNMENT THAT OPPRESSED
OUR PEOPLE. AND TO NOW TURN TO A
SYSTEM OF JUDICIAL COURT SHOWS
GREAT COMPROMISE ON THE SIDE OF
CALIFORNIA'S FIRST PEOPLE TO
LIVE WITH AN OUTCOME THROUGH
THOSE PROCEEDINGS. MAKE NO
MISTAKE, THIS BILL IS NOT ABOUT
FORCING THE ISSUE. IT IS RATHER
AN ACCEPTANCE OF THE OUTCOME OF
AN OPPRESSED GOVERNMENT'S RULE.
WITH THIS GREAT COMPROMISE
MOVING FORWARD. I ASK FOR YOU
TO. I AND I VOTE ON THIS BILL.
THANK YOU, MR. RAMOS. MR. HANEY,
YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU,
MR. SPEAKER. AND MEMBERS, I RISE
TODAY IN SUPPORT OF SB 549. I
WANT TO THANK MY COLLEAGUE FROM
SAN BERNARDINO, MY COLLEAGUE
FROM WINTERS, FOR THEIR WORDS.
FUNDAMENTALLY THIS IS ABOUT
FAIRNESS AND ACCESS TO JUSTICE.
IF SOMEBODY HAS A DISPUTE IN OUR
COUNTRY, IF THEY DISAGREE ON THE
LAW OR THE FACTS, WE GIVE THEM
THEIR DAY IN COURT. THAT'S ALL
THIS BILL DOES. THERE IS A
DISAGREEMENT HERE ABOUT A TOPIC
THAT HONESTLY AND I'VE HEARD IT
NOW IN TWO DIFFERENT COMMITTEES.
ONE THAT I WOULD NOT CLAIM TO BE
AN EXPERT ON HOW OUR LAW APPLIES
TO PARTICULAR TYPES OF GAMES.
AND THERE IS, WITHOUT A DOUBT, A
DISPUTE AROUND THAT. AND WHEN
THERE'S A DISPUTE AROUND
SOMETHING OF THAT LEVEL OF
SIGNIFICANCE AND IT'S OF A
PARTICULAR SIGNIFICANCE, NOT
ONLY BECAUSE OF THE JOBS AND THE
RESOURCES AND EVERYTHING THAT IS
AT STAKE HERE, BUT BECAUSE OF
OUR RESPONSIBILITY THAT WE HAVE
IN OUR HISTORY TO THE FIRST
PEOPLES OF OUR STATE. IF ANYONE
DESERVES A HEARING, IF ANYONE
DESERVES AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE
THIS BE RESOLVED IN LIGHT OF THE
RESPONSIBILITY THE HISTORIC
RESPONSIBILITY THAT WE HAVE TO
THE TRIBES OF OUR STATE, THEY
DESERVE IT. AND SO THEY ARE NOT
EVEN ASKING FOR IN ANY WAY
DICTATING THE OUTCOME IN MANY
WAYS, THIS COULD RESOLVE THIS
QUESTION NOT IN THEIR FAVOR.
WHAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR IS AN
OBJECTIVE, FAIR, UNBIASED COURT
JUDGE TO DECIDE THIS QUESTION
AND PROVIDE THAT CLARITY FOR
ANYONE WHO IS CONCERNED ABOUT
LOSING RESOURCES FROM THEIR CITY
OR OTHER THINGS. IF THE LAW IS
BEING FOLLOWED, THERE'S GOING TO
BE NO CHANGE. ANYONE WHO IS
FOLLOWING THE LAW HAS NOTHING TO
BE WORRIED ABOUT. WHEN THEY
ENTER INTO A COURT. AND SO I
THINK IN LIGHT OF OUR
RESPONSIBILITY, IN LIGHT OF WHAT
OUR LAWS SAY, THE VERY LEAST WE
CAN DO, AND THIS IS THE BARE
MINIMUM IS GIVE FOLKS THEIR DAY
IN COURT AND THE FIRST PEOPLES
OF OUR STATE DESERVE THAT AND A
WHOLE LOT MORE. I THINK WE HAVE
A RESPONSIBILITY HERE IN THIS
CHAMBER THAT HAS BEEN ON THE
WRONG SIDE OF THIS ISSUE FOR
MANY YEARS, IN TERMS OF OUR
RESPONSIBILITY TO GIVE THESE
FOLKS THE DAY IN COURT AND TO
HAVE THIS RESOLVED. I AM VERY,
IN VERY STRONG SUPPORT, HAVING
HEARD THIS IN TWO COMMITTEES AND
BEEN AND SPOKEN ABOUT THIS ALONG
WITH MANY OF YOU FOR MANY, MANY
MONTHS OF SB 549, AND I HOPE WE
WILL HAVE A STRONG VOTE IN
SUPPORT OF IT TODAY. THANK YOU,
MR. HANEY. MR. BRYAN, YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MR.
SPEAKER. AND COLLEAGUES, I RISE
AS A PROUD COAUTHOR OF THIS
MEASURE. CALIFORNIA'S FIRST
PEOPLES EXPERIENCE, SOMETHING
THAT INDIGENOUS PEOPLE TO THIS
COUNTRY FACED ALL ACROSS THIS
COUNTRY, WHICH WAS DISPLACEMENT,
PUSH OUT THE STEALING OF
CHILDREN AND FORCED BOARDING
SCHOOLS. BUT SOMETHING UNIQUE
HAPPENED IN CALIFORNIA RELATIVE
TO OTHER PLACES ALONG THE SOUTH,
BECAUSE THERE WAS NOWHERE ELSE
TO PUSH YOU. IT WAS A GENOCIDE
THAT WAS UNIQUELY SPECIFIC TO
CALIFORNIA. AND WHEN WE THINK
ABOUT WHAT THAT HISTORY MEANS
AND THE ROLE THAT THIS CHAMBER,
THIS BODY AND THESE INSTITUTIONS
PLAYED IN FACILITATING THAT KIND
OF STATE SANCTIONED VIOLENCE,
THERE'S A HARM TO BE REPAIRED.
THAT'S WHY WE PROMISED
EXCLUSIVITY OVER GAMING, OVER
CERTAIN GAMES TO TRIBAL
COMMUNITIES. WE GAVE THEM THAT
AS A FORM OF REPARATION, AS A
FORM OF REPAYMENT, AS A FORM OF
JUSTICE. AND THERE IS A DISPUTE
ON WHETHER THAT SOVEREIGNTY OVER
THAT EXCLUSIVITY, OVER GAMING
IS, IS BEING HELD TRUE TO WHAT
THE VOTERS PASSED FOR TRIBAL
COMMUNITIES. AND YOU KNOW, WHAT
THEY ARE DOING US A FAVOR.
CALIFORNIA'S FIRST PEOPLE TODAY,
THEY'RE NOT ASKING US TO DECIDE.
THEY'VE BEEN ASKING FOR A LONG
TIME, AND WE HAVEN'T STEPPED UP
TO THAT CALL. AND SO THEY
CHANGED THE DEMAND OF THIS
HOUSE, AND IT WAS TO LET THE
COURTS DECIDE TO GIVE THEM
ACCESS TO JUSTICE, TO GIVE THEM
ACCESS TO THE PROCESS BY WHICH
WE'VE ESTABLISHED TO ARBITRATE
THESE KINDS OF DISPUTES. THAT'S
MORE THAN FAIR. THAT'S A
RESPONSIBILITY I THINK WE HAVE
TO FOLLOW THROUGH ON TODAY. AND
I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR AYE
VOTE. THANK YOU, MR. BRIAN
SENATE-TV, MEMBER BAUER-KAHAN.
YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU,
MR. SPEAKER. AND MEMBERS, I ALSO
RISE TO ECHO THE COMMENTS THAT
HAVE BEEN MADE ON SB 549 IN
SUPPORT, NOT TO PLAY LAW
PROFESSOR HERE, BUT I THINK IT'S
REALLY IMPORTANT FOR US TO
UNDERSTAND WHY THIS BILL IS
NEEDED. IN ORDER TO GO INTO A
COURT. A COURT NEEDS TWO THINGS
OVER YOU SUBJECT MATTER,
JURISDICTION OVER THE SUBJECT
BEING DISPUTED, WHICH OUR STATE
COURTS HAVE IN THIS INSTANCE,
BECAUSE IT'S STATE LAW AND THEY
NEED PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER
YOU AS A PERSON, BECAUSE OUR
NATIVE PEOPLE ARE SOVEREIGN
NATIONS, THEY'RE GRANTED
PERSONAL JURISDICTION IN FEDERAL
COURTS, WHICH MEANS THEY CAN'T
GET BOTH OF THOSE THINGS RIGHT
NOW IN A COURT. AND SO THEY'RE
ASKING US FOR THEIR DAY IN
COURT. AND I THINK WHAT WAS SAID
BY MY COLLEAGUE FROM LOS ANGELES
IS SO CRITICAL BECAUSE THE
REASON THEY DON'T HAVE
JURISDICTION IN STATE COURT OVER
THEM AS PERSONS IS BECAUSE THEY
ARE INDEPENDENT, SOVEREIGN
NATIONS, SOVEREIGN NATIONS
WITHIN OUR BORDERS, BECAUSE WE
TOOK THEIR LAND AND SURROUNDED
IT WITH CALIFORNIA. AND NOW WE
SAY, SORRY, YOU CAN'T COME INTO
OUR COURTS AND HAVE THIS DECIDED
AND THAT, TO ME IS A FUNDAMENTAL
CIVIL RIGHTS ISSUE. I BELIEVE
THAT IT IS A CIVIL RIGHT OF
EVERYBODY LIVING HERE AND
ABROAD. BY THE WAY, BECAUSE
FOREIGN NATIONS CAN BRING
ACTIONS AS WELL IN OUR COURTS,
TO HAVE THEIR DAY IN COURT AND
THE FACT THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT
A SITUATION WHERE CALIFORNIA'S
FIRST PEOPLE CAN'T GET INTO
COURT TO HAVE THEIR DISPUTE
HEARD BECAUSE OF THIS LEGAL
SCENARIO, THEY ARE IN MEANS WE
ARE DENYING THEM THE CIVIL
RIGHTS THEY DESERVE. AND WE HAVE
DONE THAT FOR FAR TOO LONG. AND
TODAY, TO ME, THIS IS ACTUALLY
INCREDIBLY SIMPLE. IF YOU
BELIEVE IN THE CIVIL RIGHTS OF
OUR NATIVE PEOPLE, THEN YOU'LL
VOTE AYE. I ACTUALLY DON'T THINK
THIS IS A COMPLICATED DISPUTE.
WE WILL SEND IT TO COURT. WE
WILL GIVE THEM THEIR DAY IN
COURT, AND THE COURT WILL
DETERMINE THE LAW. THAT'S WHAT
OUR COURTS ARE BUILT TO DO, AND
IT IS WHAT EACH OF US AND THE
TRIBES DESERVE. AND SO I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR VOTE.
THANK YOU. ASSEMBLY MEMBER
BAUER-KAHAN ASSEMBLY MEMBER
CONNOLLY, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER. AND
MEMBERS, I ALSO RISE TODAY AS A
PROUD COAUTHOR OF SB 549. THIS
BILL FURTHERS THE GOALS OF PROP
ONE A, WHICH HAS BEEN A CRUCIAL
BENEFIT FOR CALIFORNIA TRIBES
AND THEIR NEIGHBORS. THESE
EFFORTS, AS WE KNOW, HAVE LED TO
THE CREATION OF THOUSANDS OF
GOOD PAYING JOBS AND HELPED
SUPPORT ECONOMIES OF SO MANY
COMMUNITIES AROUND CALIFORNIA.
HOWEVER, SINCE VOTERS GRANTED
THESE EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS TO
CALIFORNIA TRIBES, OUR TRIBES
HAVE HAD DIFFICULTY IN SECURING
ENFORCEMENT. THE PROPOSAL IN
THIS BILL, AS HAS BEEN NOTED, IS
LIMITED IN SCOPE AND APPROPRIATE
FOR WHAT TRIBES ARE TRYING TO
ACHIEVE. ALL THIS BILL IS
LOOKING FOR IS A DEFINITIVE
ANSWER TO THE FOLLOWING LONG
STANDING QUESTION ARE SOME OF
THE CONTROLLED GAMES OPERATED BY
CARD CLUBS? BANKING CARD GAMES
THAT VIOLATE CALIFORNIA TRIBES
EXCLUSIVE GAMING RIGHTS? OUR
TRIBES DESERVE TO HAVE THEIR DAY
IN COURT AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO
HAVE THEIR VOICE HEARD. I JOIN
MY COLLEAGUES IN URGING A AYE
VOTE ON THIS BILL. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, MR. CONNOLLY. MR.
BENNETT, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. SPEAKER.
MEMBERS, FOR SOME OF MY YOUNGER
COLLEAGUES ON THE FLOOR, THEY
MAY NOT REMEMBER THE DAY THAT WE
CALIFORNIANS ACTUALLY VOTED TO
GIVE THE TRIBES THIS RIGHT. THIS
EXCLUSIVE RIGHT TO GAMING. BUT I
REMEMBER THAT CAMPAIGN, AND I
VIEW IT AS THE DAY THAT
MAINSTREAM CALIFORNIANS AWAKENED
TO THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO THE
TRIBAL NATIONS IN CALIFORNIA.
THAT WAS THE DAY THAT MAINSTREAM
CALIFORNIANS VOTED
OVERWHELMINGLY TO SAY, YES, THE
TRIBES DESERVE TO HAVE SOME FORM
OF ECONOMIC REPARATIONS. AND
THIS WAS WHAT WE GAVE THEM. AND
TO TURN AROUND AND SAY THIS WAS
A STATE INITIATIVE THAT GAVE
THEM THIS AUTHORITY AND THEN SAY
THEY CAN'T GO TO THE STATE COURT
TO TRY TO GET IT RESOLVED, IS
NOT WHAT I BELIEVE THE MAJORITY
OF AMERICANS, OF CALIFORNIANS
WERE VOTING FOR WHEN THEY VOTED
THAT DAY, AND SO I STRONGLY
ENCOURAGE SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF
LOTS OF MAINSTREAM CALIFORNIANS
THAT ARE IN MY DISTRICT THAT
DON'T HAVE MUCH CONNECTION.
UNFORTUNATELY, WITH TRIBAL
NATIONS, I BELIEVE THEY ALL
STRONGLY WOULD SUPPORT THIS. AND
THE OPPOSITION'S CLAIM THAT WE
SHOULD NOT EVEN GIVE THEM THEIR
DAY IN COURT BECAUSE THEY'RE
CONCERNED ABOUT THE ECONOMIC
IMPACTS JUST DOES NOT RING TRUE
FROM MY PERSPECTIVE. SO I
STRONGLY ENCOURAGE AND I VOTE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU,
MR. BENNETT. MR. GARCIA, YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. SPEAKER. THANK YOU,
MR. SPEAKER. I THINK OF THE
HISTORY OF TRIBES TO MAKE THEIR
PLACE WITHIN THE CONSTITUTION,
TO EXERCISE THEIR
SELF-DETERMINATION. AND I THINK
OF 1987 CABAZON BAND OF MISSION
INDIANS VERSUS UNITED STATES,
WHERE IT WAS THE TRIBES PUSHING
THE ISSUE OF TRIBAL SOVEREIGNTY
AND THEIR ABILITY TO BE
SELF-DETERMINED AS A PEOPLE. AND
THEY WERE SUCCESSFUL. AND THAT
LED TO THE INDIAN REGULATORY
GAMING ACT OF 1988. BUT SINCE
THAT POINT, FORWARD TRIBES HAVE
BEEN TAKEN TO TASK TO COURT,
CHALLENGING THEIR ABILITY TO BE
EMPOWERED TO PROVIDE ECONOMIC
OPPORTUNITIES FOR THEIR PEOPLE
IN THEIR COUNTRY. THEIR NATION,
AS TRIBES HERE IN CALIFORNIA AND
THROUGHOUT THE NATION. AND THAT
FIGHT HAS NOT ENDED. HOWEVER,
IT'S BEEN THE COURTS THAT HAVE
DETERMINED THE FUTURE OF TRIBES.
AND YET HERE WE ARE ARGUING,
DEBATING, DELIBERATING WHETHER
OR NOT TRIBES HAVE STANDING IN
OUR JUDICIAL SYSTEM. I AGREE
WITH MY COLLEAGUE WHO SPOKE
ABOUT THIS BILL BEING A SIMPLE
BILL IN TERMS OF CREATING A
SPACE FOR TRIBES AND OTHER
ENTITIES TO HAVE THEIR DAY IN
COURT AND DETERMINE. AND I LIKE
TO SIMPLIFY IT AS SIMPLE AS THIS
CALL A BALL OR A STRIKE ON THE
QUESTION AT HAND. AND SO TO OUR
TRIBAL BROTHERS AND SISTERS, YOU
DO DESERVE A DAY IN COURT AND
THAT THE ULTIMATE SAY, STANDS IN
THE HANDS OF OUR JUDICIAL SYSTEM
THAT WE TRUST AND SAY THAT IT
BRINGS JUSTICE FOR EVERYONE,
THAT THE LEGAL FIGHTS THAT OUR
TRIBES HAVE BEEN UNDERGOING
SINCE DAY ONE, BE TAKEN TO THE
COURT AND A DECISION BE MADE,
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR
SUPPORT ON SB 4549. THANK YOU,
MR. GARCIA. DOCTOR JACKSON, YOU
ARE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH, MR. SPEAKER. WHEN I FIRST
HEARD ABOUT THIS BILL, AND WAS
ASKED TO BE A COAUTHOR, THE
FIRST THING THAT CAME TO MY MIND
WAS THE HISTORIC DRED SCOTT
DECISION ON MY ANCESTORS
DECIDING WHETHER WE WERE HUMAN
ENOUGH OR WHETHER WE WERE
AMERICAN ENOUGH, OR WHETHER WE
WERE JUST SIMPLY PROPERTY TO BE
ABLE TO HAVE THE DIGNITY AND
HUMANITY TO HAVE OUR DAY IN
COURT. I THINK WE HAVE GOT TO
TAKE A STEP BACK. AND THE
MESSAGE THAT CALIFORNIA WOULD
SEND. IF WE SAY THAT YOU ARE NOT
WORTHY ENOUGH, YOU HAVEN'T
JUMPED THROUGH ENOUGH HOOPS. YOU
DON'T HAVE ENOUGH DIGNITY,
ENOUGH IN ORDER FOR YOU TO HAVE
A DAY IN OUR COURTS. WHAT DOES
THAT SAY? ABOUT THE MESSAGE
WE'RE SENDING TO THE ORIGINAL
PEOPLE OF THIS LAND. THERE ARE
SOME TIMES THINGS BECOME JUST A
MORAL QUESTION. IT JUST BECOMES
A FAIRNESS AND JUSTICE QUESTION.
PUTTING BUSINESS ASIDE. BUT
THERE'S MANY OF US WHO WERE ON
THE WRONG SIDE OF HAVING A DAY
IN COURT THROUGHOUT THIS STATE
AND NATION'S HISTORY. SO WE'VE
GOT TO BE CAREFUL, IT'S NOT JUST
A BILL. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE
HUMANITY OF A PEOPLE. AND SO I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN AYE
VOTE. THANK YOU, DOCTOR JACKSON,
ASSEMBLY MEMBER MURATSUCHI, YOU
ARE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH. I RISE IN SUPPORT OF THIS
BILL, AND IT TOOK ME A UNTIL
THIS THIS DEBATE, YOU KNOW, WHEN
PEOPLE SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, THESE
DEBATES DON'T MATTER ON THE
FLOOR BECAUSE NO ONE, YOU KNOW,
NO, NO VOTES ARE CHANGED. YOU
KNOW, I WANT TO THANK IN
PARTICULAR OUR COLLEAGUE FROM
ORINDA FOR THAT LAW SCHOOL
REMINDER, YOU KNOW, OF WHY
SOVEREIGN NATIONS, YOU KNOW,
TRIBES AS SOVEREIGN NATIONS, DO
NOT HAVE STANDING TO BRING THEIR
CLAIM IN COURT. YOU KNOW, THAT
WAS SOMETHING THAT I WAS NOT
HEARING FROM ANY OF THE
ADVOCATES FOR, FOR THE TRIBES
AND, AND, AND I WAS WRESTLING
WITH THIS BECAUSE I HAVE A CITY,
THE CITY OF GARDENA, THAT, THAT
UP TO 20% OF THEIR REVENUES
COMES FROM THEIR LOCAL CARD
CLUBS. I KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW,
OUR FIREFIGHTERS ARE ARE PUBLIC
SERVANTS IN THESE CITIES. RELY
UPON THOSE REVENUES. BUT YES, I
HAVE TO AGREE WITH THAT VERY
SIMPLE POINT THAT YOU KNOW, AS
SOVEREIGN NATIONS, THEY DESERVE
THEIR STANDING TO BRING THEIR
CLAIMS IN OUR STATE COURTS TO
BRING RESOLUTION TO THESE
ISSUES. IT'S NOT PREDETERMINING
THE OUTCOME OF THESE DISPUTES.
IT'S GIVING THEM THE CIVIL RIGHT
TO BRING THEIR CLAIM IN OUR
STATE COURTS. AND SO I
WHOLEHEARTEDLY SUPPORT THIS
MEASURE. THANK YOU. ASSEMBLY
MEMBER MURATSUCHI SEEING NO
OTHERS WISHING TO SPEAK,
ASSEMBLY MEMBER AGUILAR CURRY,
YOUR CLOSING REMARKS. MEMBERS, I
THANK YOU FOR THE THOUGHTFUL
DISCUSSION. I REALLY DO, AND AS
I THINK ASSEMBLY MEMBER
MURATSUCHI SAID, THESE
DISCUSSIONS ARE IMPORTANT AND WE
THINK WE KNOW IT ALL AND WE HAVE
OUR FRAMEWORK OF WHAT WE ARE
GOING TO BELIEVE IN. BUT THAT
WAS I APPRECIATE EVERYBODY
SUPPORTING THIS BILL THAT STOOD
TODAY. YOU KNOW, THE TRIBES
COULD HAVE SOUGHT A PUNITIVE
MEASURE AS MANY WANTED US TO DO.
THEY COULD HAVE SOUGHT LEGAL
STANDING AGAINST INDIVIDUAL
CARDROOMS DRIVING SMALL CARD
ROOM BUSINESSES OUT OF BUSINESS.
THEY COULD HAVE SOUGHT DAMAGES.
THEY DID NOT. FOR THOSE WHO ASK
WHY SOVEREIGN TRIBAL GOVERNMENTS
SEEK STANDING IN CALIFORNIA
STATE COURTS, I'M SURE TRIBES
WOULD BE HAPPY TO HAVE THAT
AUTHORITY IN TRIBAL COURTS. I
DON'T THINK THAT THE OPPOSITION
WOULD AGREE TO THAT. THE FACT
IS, THIS DISPUTE IS ABOUT A
PROVISION IN THE STATE
CONSTITUTION. STATE COURTS ARE
THE ONLY APPROPRIATE VENUE.
AGAIN, MEMBERS SB 549 DOES NOT
TAKE A SIDE IN THIS DISPUTE AT
ALL. IT DOES TAKE A SIDE ON
WHETHER THE QUESTIONS GET
ANSWERED. THAT'S THE SIDE I'M
PRETTY COMFORTABLE WITH BEING
ON. NO MATTER WHO WINS. BUT THE
ONE THING IS CERTAIN IF THIS
LEGISLATURE REFUSES TO GRANT OUR
FIRST PEOPLE THE LEGAL STANDING
NEEDED FOR THE COURTS TO WEIGH
IN, WE REMAIN IN CLOSER TO A
RESOLUTION TO THIS INTRACTABLE
DISPUTE, AND WE'LL BE BACK HERE
NEXT YEAR. I ASK FOR YOUR AYE

LAW AB 1575 SEEKS TO STRENGTHEN
SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS INVOLVED IN
AN ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDING AT

INTRODUCED THIS BILL IN RESPONSE
TO THE DEVASTATING EXPERIENCE OF
A FAMILY IN MY DISTRICT. THEIR
DAUGHTER, KATIE MEYER, WAS AN
OUTSTANDING STANFORD STUDENT
ATHLETE, A CAPTAIN ON THE
WOMEN'S SOCCER TEAM WHOSE DEATH
BY SUICIDE FOLLOWED A
THREATENING NOTICE OF A STUDENT
CODE OF CONDUCT. A STUDENT CODE
OF CONDUCT PROCEEDING THAT WOULD
DERAIL HER FUTURE. HER DEATH WAS
ONE OF A NUMBER OF STUDENT
ATHLETE SUICIDES IN 2022 THAT
BROUGHT LIGHT TO THE NEED FOR A
NEW APPROACH THAT PRIORITIZES
STUDENT MENTAL HEALTH. MANY OF
YOU WERE HERE IN 2022 WHEN I
ADJOURNED. IN KATIE'S MEMORY,
WITH HER FAMILY WATCHING FROM
THE GALLERY. BUT THE MEYER
FAMILY HASN'T STAYED ON THE
SIDELINES WATCHING. THEY HAVE
ADVOCATED HERE AND ACROSS THE
COUNTRY TO PUT INTO PLACE THIS
POLICY TO HONOR KATIE'S MEMORY.
THE MEYER FAMILY AND I BELIEVE
THAT AB 1575 MECHANISM TO ALLOW
A STUDENT TO SELECT AN ADVISOR
TO ASSIST THEM THROUGH A
PROCEEDING WILL PROVIDE STABLE
SUPPORT THAT MAY BE THE MOST
THROUGH WHAT MAY BE THE MOST
CHALLENGING MOMENT A STUDENT HAS
TO FACE IN THEIR LIFE. WITH AB
1575, WE CAN PROVIDE LIFE
CHANGING SUPPORT TO OUR STUDENTS
WHO CONSIDER WHO ENCOUNTER
SUICIDAL THOUGHTS. THANK YOU.

IMPORTANT BILL. WHEN CHILDREN
WHO ARE IN FOSTER CARE HAVE LOST
THEIR BIOLOGICAL PARENTS,
THEY'VE PASSED AWAY. THOSE
CHILDREN ARE Dð SURVIVOR
BENEFITS. BUT COUNTIES ACROSS
CALIFORNIA ARE APPLYING FOR
THOSE SURVIVOR BENEFITS ON THOSE
CHILDREN'S BEHALF AND THEN NOT
GIVING IT TO THEM, JUST
UTILIZING IT IN THEIR GENERAL
OPERATING BUDGET. IT'S
UNCONSCIONABLE. WE DON'T HAVE TO

THIS IS A CHILD CENTERED BILL.
IT'S AN IMPORTANT BILL. AND I

MEMBER OF MINE LOST ONE OF THEIR

WAS THE RECIPIENT OF THE
SURVIVOR BENEFITS AT THAT TIME
TO HELP OBVIOUSLY PAY TO HELP
UPBRING THAT CHILD. AND I
UNDERSTAND THAT FOSTER CARE
AGENCIES HAVE A LOT OF EXPENSES
TO HELP FOSTER KIDS FIND
PLACEMENT, BUT THAT'S A ROLE OF
THE STATE, NOT THE ROLE OF
TAKING THE MONEY THAT IS
DEDICATED TO THE CHILD, TO MAKE
SURE THAT THEY CAN SURVIVE. AND
LIVE THEIR LIVELIHOOD WHEN
THEY'RE ACTUALLY IN FOSTER CARE.
AND SO I THINK THIS IS A GREAT
MEASURE. I SUPPORTED IT LAST
YEAR, AND I HOPE THIS WILL BE
THE LAST TIME I SUPPORT IT,
BECAUSE I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO
IT BEING SIGNED BY THE GOVERNOR.
SO WITH THAT, I ASK FOR AN AYE
VOTE. THANK YOU, MR. PATTERSON.

MR. GABRIEL, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED
FOR YOUR ADJOURNMENT IN MEMORY.
ARE YOU GOING TO? THANK YOU, MR.
SPEAKER. I RISE TO REQUEST THAT
WE ADJOURN TODAY IN THE MEMORY
OF CRAIG SCOTT SIMON, WHO PASSED
AWAY ON AUGUST 10TH AT THE AGE
OF 71. I FIRST GOT TO KNOW CRAIG
THROUGH HIS DAUGHTER, REBECCA,
WHO WAS A DEAR FRIEND OF MINE AT
UC BERKELEY. BUT OVER THE YEARS,
CRAIG AND I DEVELOPED OUR OWN
FRIENDSHIP AND I AM AMONG MANY
CALIFORNIANS WHO FEEL BLESSED TO
HAVE BEEN IN HIS ORBIT. CRAIG
WAS TRULY A REMARKABLE HUMAN
BEING BRILLIANT, GENEROUS,
ENERGETIC, FUNNY, AND DEEPLY
KIND. HE TOLD AMAZING STORIES
AND RIDICULOUS JOKES, LOVED
PARTIES AND LOUD RAP MUSIC, AND
WAS A CONSTANT SOURCE OF SMILES
AND LAUGHTER. HE WAS FUN AND FUN
TO BE AROUND. CRAIG WAS ALSO A
BRILLIANT LITIGATOR WHO BECAME
ONE OF THE MOST PROMINENT AND
ADMIRED INSURANCE SUBROGATION
ATTORNEYS IN THE COUNTRY. AFTER
GRADUATING FROM UCLA AND LOYOLA
LAW SCHOOL, HE JOINED THE LAW
FIRM OF BURGER KAHN, WORKING HIS
WAY UP FROM LAW CLERK TO PARTNER
AND EVENTUALLY MANAGING PARTNER
OF THE ENTIRE FIRM. AS A
LITIGATOR, HIS SKILLS WERE
LEGENDARY. AMONG HIS MANY
ACCOLADES, CRAIG WAS RECOGNIZED
AS ONE OF THE TOP 100 ATTORNEYS
IN CALIFORNIA BY THE DAILY
JOURNAL, AND WAS AWARDED THE
PRESTIGIOUS CALIFORNIA LAWYER OF
THE YEAR AWARD FOR HIS WORK ON
THE WOOLSEY FIRE SETTLEMENT IN
2021. DURING THAT LITIGATION, HE
WAS DESIGNATED BY THE COURT AS
THE SUBHRO KING AND A KING. HE
WAS. DESPITE HIS TREMENDOUS
PERSONAL SUCCESS, CRAIG REMAINED
KIND AND GENEROUS, ALWAYS
LOOKING TO HELP OTHERS. AS HIS
SON IN LAW JARED RECALLS, CRAIG
WAS A DEEPLY GENEROUS HUMAN WHO
LOVED TO HELP OTHERS IN NEED.
WHEN HE SAW SOMEONE, EVEN A
STRANGER, WHO WAS STRUGGLING IN
LIFE, HE HELPED THEM IN
UNIMAGINABLY GENEROUS WAYS. HE
NEVER TALKED ABOUT ALL THE
THINGS HE DID TO HELP OTHERS. HE
WOULD JUST DO IT SILENTLY. CRAIG
WAS DEEPLY DEVOTED TO HIS
FAMILY, PARTICULARLY HIS WIFE
JOAN, HIS CHILDREN AND THEIR
SPOUSES, REBECCA AND JARED,
HANNAH AND JEFF, AND DAVID AND
ANNA AND HIS THREE
GRANDCHILDREN. ONE OF MY LAST
CONVERSATIONS WITH CRAIG WAS
DURING A VISIT TO HIS BEACH
HOUSE IN LAGUNA BEACH, WHICH HE
LOVINGLY REFERRED TO AS HIS
BEACH SHACK. INSPIRED BY THE
SWEEPING OCEAN VIEWS, I PRODDED
HIM ABOUT HIS CAREER AND ALL ITS
REWARDS. BUT HE KEPT TURNING THE
CONVERSATION BACK TO HIS FAMILY,
TO OUR COMMUNITY, AND TO ME,
CONSTANTLY ASKING HOW HE COULD
HELP. I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HOW
CONTENT HE WAS THAT DAY AT THE
VERY PINNACLE OF HIS PROFESSION.
IN HIS HAPPY PLACE AND FULL OF
GRATITUDE FOR HIS LIFE, HIS
FAMILY AND HIS ABUNDANT
BLESSINGS. CRAIG WAS AN
EXCEPTIONAL CALIFORNIAN WHO
TOUCHED MANY IN OUR STATE WITH
HIS HUMOR, HIS INTELLECT, HIS
GENEROSITY, AND HIS COMPASSION.
HIS LEGACY IS ONE OF GOODNESS,
AND HIS MEMORY WILL BE A
BLESSING FOR HIS FAMILY, THE
LEGAL PROFESSION, HIS COMMUNITY,
AND OUR STATE. I FEEL LUCKY TO
HAVE CALLED CRAIG SIMON A
FRIEND, AND I RESPECTFULLY
REQUEST THAT WE ADJOURN TODAY IN
HIS MEMORY. THANK YOU, MR.
GABRIEL. ASSEMBLY MEMBER HART,
YOU ARE RECOGNIZED FOR YOUR
ADJOURNMENT IN MEMORY. THANK
YOU. SPEAKER AND MEMBERS, I RISE
TO ADJOURN IN THE MEMORY OF
VIVIAN PAYOS OF SANTA BARBARA.
VIVIAN WAS BORN TO PETER AND
CHRISTINE FILICE IN HOLYOKE,
MASSACHUSETTS, IN 1930 DURING
THE GREAT DEPRESSION. HER
PARENTS WERE GREEK IMMIGRANTS,
AND THEY LIVED A HUMBLE BUT
FULFILLING LIFE, ADHERING TO THE
GREEK TRADITIONS THAT THEY
BROUGHT WITH THEM ACROSS THE
ATLANTIC. VIVIAN FAITHFULLY
ADHERED TO THESE TRADITIONS
UNTIL HER PASSION FOR ADVENTURE
PULLED HER AWAY FROM HER SMALL
TOWN LIFE. AT THE AGE OF 23,
VIVIAN LEFT HOLYOKE AND PUSHED
HER WAY INTO THE NEW YORK OFFICE
OF PAN AM, WHERE SHE PERSUADED
THEM TO HIRE HER AS A STEWARDESS
TO FIGHT, DESPITE THE FACT THAT
THEY WERE NOT HIRING AT THE TIME.
VIVIAN TRAVELED THE WORLD,
VISITED HER GREEK HOMELAND AND
THE GREAT COUNTRIES OF EUROPE
AND ASIA. IN CONSTANTINOPLE, SHE
WAS RECEIVED BY THE
METROPOLITAN, THE GREEK VERSION
OF THE POPE, FOR TÊ. VIVIAN
MOVED TO SAN FRANCISCO, WHERE
SHE MET HER LATE HUSBAND,
MICHAEL PIHOS, WHILE HE ATTENDED
SCHOOL AT UC BERKELEY. AFTER A
QUICK COURTSHIP, THEY MOVED TO
SANTA BARBARA, WHERE SHE RAISED
HER CHILDREN, MARIA AND THEO.
VIVIAN WAS AN ENERGETIC WOMAN
WITH A CUTTING WIT AND A SMILE
THAT COULD LIGHT UP A ROOM. HER
AUTHENTIC CULINARY DISHES WERE
DISPLAYED AT THE SANTA BARBARA
GREEK FESTIVAL, AND WHILE
HOSTING MANY GUESTS IN MY
NEIGHBORHOOD OVER THE YEARS. AT
2121 CHAPALA STREET, VIVIAN AND
HER LATE HUSBAND WERE MEMBERS OF
THE SAINT SANTA BARBARA GREEK
ORTHODOX CHURCH FOR OVER 60
YEARS. VIVIAN DEDICATED HER LIFE
TO HER CHURCH COMMUNITY, WHERE
SHE SERVED AS THE SECRETARY. SHE
ALSO PUBLISHED A SUCCESSFUL
GREEK COOKBOOK AND WAS AN
INSPIRATION TO MANY. VIVIAN, OF
SANTA BARBARA, DIED PEACEFULLY
IN HER SLEEP THE MORNING OF
AUGUST 27TH, WITH HER FAMILY BY
HER SIDE. I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST
THAT THE ASSEMBLY ADJOURN IN THE
MEMORY OF VIVIAN PAVLOS. THANK
YOU, MR. HART. MR. ALVAREZ, YOU
ARE RECOGNIZED FOR YOUR
ADJOURNMENT IN MEMORY. THANK
YOU, MR. SPEAKER. RESPECTFULLY
ASKING THAT WE ADJOURN IN MEMORY
OF SAN DIEGO POLICE OFFICER
AUSTIN. A CONSTITUENT OF MINE IN
THE 80TH DISTRICT. I WANT TO
THANK MY COLLEAGUES WHO ARE
STANDING WITH ME, WHO ALSO
REPRESENT THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO,
AMERICA'S FINEST OFFICER.
MCKENNA. TRAGICALLY LOST HIS
LIFE IN THE LINE OF DUTY DURING
A VEHICLE PURSUIT IN SAN DIEGO A
FEW DAYS AGO ON THE EVENING OF
AUGUST 26TH, 2024. HE WAS JUST
30 YEARS OLD. OFFICER MCKENNA
WAS A CHULA VISTA RESIDENT, ONE
OF THE COMMUNITIES THAT I
REPRESENT. HE WAS A PROUD
MUSTANG FROM OTAY RANCH HIGH
SCHOOL BEFORE HE JOINED THE SAN
DIEGO POLICE DEPARTMENT. HE WAS
KNOWN FOR HAVING AN INFECTIOUS
SMILE BY HIS COLLEAGUES AND, IN
THE WORDS OF SAN DIEGO POLICE
CHIEF SCOTT WAUGH, HE'S THE KIND
OF GUY YOU WANTED ON YOUR TEAM.
IN 2019, OFFICER MCKENNA JOINED
THE SAN DIEGO POLICE DEPARTMENT
AND WAS ASSIGNED TO THE PATROL
AT SAN DIEGO PD SDPD NORTHERN
DIVISION. THE NORTHERN PART OF
THE CITY QUICKLY BECOMING A PART
OF THE UNBREAKABLE LAW
ENFORCEMENT FAMILY. IN HIS
NEARLY SIX YEARS OF SERVICE,
OFFICER SERVED AS A FIELD
TRAINING OFFICER AND WAS KNOWN
FOR BEING HEAVILY INVOLVED IN
THE RECRUITMENT PROCESS OF NEW
OFFICERS FOR THE DEPARTMENT. HE
SET A PERFECT EXAMPLE FOR WHAT
IT MEANT TO BE A TRUE PROTECTOR
OF THE SAN DIEGO COMMUNITY.
AUSTIN LEAVES BEHIND HIS LOVING
PARENTS AND SISTER, WHO WILL
CARRY ON HIS LEGACY. SAN DIEGO
COMMUNITY IS MOURNING. WE ARE
HEARING FROM EVERYONE IN SAN
DIEGO AS THEY MOURN THE PASSING
OF OFFICER. HE DIED A HERO IN
THE EYES OF MANY. HE WILL
FOREVER BE REMEMBERED BY THE
COMMUNITY HE SWORE TO PROTECT,
AND HE DID SO WELL FOR ALMOST
SIX YEARS. MAY HE REST IN PEACE.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ASSEMBLY
MEMBER ALVAREZ. MOVING TO

SERVED AS PRESIDENT OF THE
ETHIOPIAN COMMUNITY CENTER IN
SACRAMENTO, AND WAS A BOARD

HIS DEDICATION EXTENDED TO HIS
HOMELAND, STRIVING TO ADVANCE
AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT IN
ETHIOPIA. DESPITE FACING SEVERE
POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC
CHALLENGES. KABERIA PASSED AWAY
SUDDENLY ON AUGUST 25TH, 2024,
IN ETHIOPIA. HIS CONTRIBUTIONS
TO BOTH HIS ADOPTED AND NATIVE
COMMUNITIES, HIS DEDICATION TO
AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT, AND
HIS LEADERSHIP IN VARIOUS
ORGANIZATIONS ARE TESTAMENT TO
HIS LASTING IMPACT. AS WE
