1243 BY SENATOR DODD TO AMEND
THE LEVINE ACT FOR BETTER
CLARITY, COMPLIANCE AND
FAIRNESS. OVER THE LAST YEAR,
THE AUTHOR AND I HAVE HEARD FROM
NUMEROUS ELECTED OFFICIALS FROM
CITIES AND COUNTIES AROUND THE
STATE WHO HAVE STRUGGLED TO
IMPLEMENT THE LAW, AND FROM
NUMEROUS ORGANIZATIONS WHO HAVE
STRUGGLED TO ADHERE TO ITS
OVERLY COMPLICATED REQUIREMENTS.
THIS BILL ADDRESSES NUMEROUS
ISSUES THAT HAVE ARISEN DURING
IMPLEMENTATION, INCLUDING
ADJUSTING THE CONTRIBUTION LIMIT
THAT HASN'T CHANGED SINCE 1982
FROM $250 TO $500, WHICH IS LESS
THAN INFLATION OVER THAT TIME.
CLARIFYING THAT THE INCREASED
MEMBERSHIP DUES FOR ORGANIZATION
LIKE UNIONS OR CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE FOR EXAMPLE, DO NOT
TRIGGER INCLUSION IN THE STATUTE
WHEN THERE'S NO DIRECT FINANCIAL
STAKE IN A DEVELOPMENT PROJECT,
IT SIMPLIFIES COMPLIANCE BY
EXEMPTING FROM THE PROVISION OF
THE LAW LOW VALUE AND
NON-CONTROVERSIAL CONTRACTS.
THIS BILL FURTHERS THE GOAL OF
THE POLITICAL REFORM ACT BY
MAKING THE REQUIREMENTS FOR
IMPLEMENTATION CLEAR AND
WORKABLE, AND HELPING REMOVE
CONDITIONS THAT HAVE
INCENTIVIZED DARK MONEY. RECENT
AMENDMENTS HAVE REMOVED ALL
OPPOSITION, AND I RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR YOUR AYE VOTE. THANK YOU,

BY SENATOR RUBIO. AN ACT
RELATING TO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.
MEMBER RUBIO, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
GOOD AFTERNOON MADAM. MR.
SPEAKER AND MEMBERS, I RISE TO
PRESENT SB 690 BY SENATOR SUSAN
RUBIO, WHO I HAPPEN TO KNOW VERY
WELL, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE
PHOENIX ACT 2.0. THIS BILL WOULD
ALLOW DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
SURVIVORS ADDITIONAL CRITICAL
TIME TO HEAL FROM THEIR TRAUMA
AND REPORT ABUSE BY EXTENDING
THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS TO
SEVEN YEARS. IT'S IMPORTANT TO
NOTE WHY CHARGING. I'M SORRY,
WHY CHANGING THE STATUTE OF
LIMITATIONS IS VITAL. SOME
BELIEVE THAT IT'S JUST ABOUT
BRINGING ABUSERS TO JUSTICE
AFTER A VICTIM HAS GAINED THE
COURAGE TO SPEAK UP AND WALK
AWAY FROM THE RELATIONSHIP.
HOWEVER, COLLEAGUES, IT IS MORE
THAN THAT. ABUSERS ARE CLEVER.
THEY WILL WAIT UNTIL THE STATUTE
OF LIMITATION HAS EXPIRED, AND
THEN THEY WILL BEGIN TO
FINANCIALLY AND EMOTIONALLY
HARASS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
VICTIMS. ABUSERS KNOW THAT
VICTIMS CAN NO LONGER HOLD THEM
ACCOUNTABLE, AND THEY KNOW THEY
CAN USE COERCIVE CONTROL TACTICS
TO TRAP THEIR VICTIMS. BECAUSE
OF THESE TACTICS, VICTIMS FIND
THEMSELVES WITH THEIR
REPUTATIONS RUINED THEIR JOB
OPPORTUNITIES, LOST THEIR
FINANCIAL FINANCES DRAINED, AND
THEY ENDLESSLY DEFEND AGAINST
FRIVOLOUS LAWSUITS. TOO MANY
VICTIMS WHO ARE PUSHED TO THE
BRINK AND FINANCIALLY AND
FINALLY GET THE COURAGE TO SPEAK
UP, FIND THAT THE STATUTE HAS
EXPIRED. VICTIMS NEED OUR
SUPPORT NOW MORE THAN EVER.
REASONS VARY FROM ONGOING TRAUMA
AND THREATS, FROM THE
PERPETRATOR TO LACK OF RESOURCES
AND ECONOMIC INSECURITY. WE MUST
DO BETTER. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS
BILL WAS AMENDED DOWN TO ONLY
SEVEN YEARS, SO EVEN THIS BILL
WOULD NOT COVER SOME OF THE MOST
HORRIFIC CASES. BUT THE REALITY
IS THIS CAN HAPPEN TO ALL
VICTIMS. AND THAT IS WHY WE MUST
ALLOW SUFFICIENT TIME TO HEAL
AND RECOVER BEFORE THEY ARE
READY TO COME FORWARD, TO SEEK
JUSTICE BEFORE IT CAN BECOME
FATAL. THANK YOU. AND I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN I VOTE.
THANK YOU. ASSEMBLY MEMBER
RUBIO, SEEING AND HEARING NO

ASSEMBLY MEMBER ABANTE YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MR.
SPEAKER. MEMBERS, I RISE TO
PRESENT SB 954 ON BEHALF OF
SENATOR MENJIVAR. SB 54. 954
SEEKS TO ADDRESS THE SEXUALLY
TRANSMITTED INFECTION EPIDEMIC
AMONG CALIFORNIA YOUTH AND
IMPROVE EQUITABLE PUBLIC HEALTH
OUTCOMES STATEWIDE BY EXPANDING
TEEN ACCESS TO CONDOMS IN
SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITIES.
SPECIFICALLY, SB 954 WILL
REQUIRE PUBLIC AND CHARTER HIGH
SCHOOLS TO MAKE INTERNAL AND
EXTERNAL CONDOMS READILY
AVAILABLE TO STUDENTS FOR FREE,
REQUIRE A NOTICE BE POSTED
INFORMING STUDENTS OF WHERE TO
GET CONDOMS ON CAMPUS AND WHERE
TO FIND SEXUAL AND REPRODUCTIVE
HEALTH INFORMATION AND
RESOURCES. BAR HIGH SCHOOL FROM
HIGH SCHOOLS FROM PROVIDING
PROHIBITING CONDOMS DISTRIBUTION
IN THE CONTEXT OF EDUCATIONAL
AND PUBLIC HEALTH PROGRAMS AND
INITIATIVE, AND PROHIBITS
PHARMACIES AND RETAILERS FROM
ASKING FOR PROOF OF AGE OR
IDENTIFICATION FOR CONDOMS OR
CONTRACEPTIVE PURCHASES.
ACCORDING TO THE DEPARTMENT OF
PUBLIC HEALTH. STATEWIDE DATA
INDICATE OVER HALF OF ALL STIS
IN THE STATE ARE EXPERIENCED
AMONG CALIFORNIA YOUTH AGED 15
TO 24 YEARS OLD AND YOUTH OF
COLOR ARE DISPROPORTIONATELY
IMPACTED. THE CDC'S YOUTH RISK
BEHAVIOR SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM
SHOWS THAT THE PERCENTAGE OF
SEXUALLY ACTIVE STUDENTS WHO
USED CONDOMS DECREASED FROM 2011
TO 2021. FOR MALE CONDOMS, USE
DROPPED 67 TO 58%, 58%, AND
FEMALES FROM 54 TO 47%. SO WE
HAVE A PROBLEM. THE LOS ANGELES
AND SAN FRANCISCO UNIFIED SCHOOL
DISTRICTS ALREADY MAKE CONDOMS
AVAILABLE ON THEIR CAMPUSES.
HOWEVER, IT LEAVES YOUTH IN
OTHER REGIONS, INCLUDING REGIONS
WITH SOME OF THE HIGHEST RATES
OF STIS AND PREGNANCIES AMONG
YOUTH WITHOUT EQUITABLE ACCESS
TO CONDOMS AND PREVENTIVE HEALTH
CARE. THIS IS A PRIORITY
SPONSORED BILL OF THE LGBTQ

MENGIBAR AND OTHERS. AN ACT
RELATING TO CRIMINAL PROCEDURE.
MR. HART, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER. I'M
PLEASED TO PRESENT SENATE BILL
1323 ON BEHALF OF SENATOR
MENGIBAR. EXISTING LAW REQUIRES
ALL INDIVIDUALS ACCUSED OF A
FELONY WHO ARE FOUND INCOMPETENT
TO STAND TRIAL, TO BE SENT FOR
COMPETENCY RESTORATION. THESE
INDIVIDUALS ARE FUNNELED TO OUR
STATE'S MOST RESTRICTIVE AND
COSTLY STATE HOSPITAL BEDS, AT
TIMES WAITING MANY MONTHS IN
JAIL BEFORE BEING PLACED AT A
STATE HOSPITAL. THIS PROCESS
DOES NOTHING TO DISRUPT CYCLES
OF INCARCERATION, REDUCE STATE
HOSPITAL WAIT LISTS, OR LINK
PEOPLE TO THE HOUSING AND MENTAL
HEALTH SERVICES THAT THEY
DESPERATELY NEED. IT ALSO DOES
NOT SERVE VICTIMS WELL. THE LONG
DELAYS CAUSED BY THE BACKLOG OF
PEOPLE WAITING FOR RESTORATION
MEANS LONG DELAYS FOR VICTIMS IN
THE RESOLUTION OF THEIR CASES.
SB 1323 WILL REQUIRE MENTAL
HEALTH EXPERTS TO DETERMINE FROM
THE START IF A PERSON IS LIKELY
TO BE RESTORED TO COMPETENCY IN
THE CASES WHERE RESTORATION IS
NOT LIKELY. JUDGES WILL HAVE
DISCRETION TO PLACE THE PERSON
IN CONSERVATORSHIP PROCEEDINGS
OR SPECIALIZED TREATMENT.
FURTHERMORE, IF RESTORATION OF
COMPETENCY IS NOT IN THE
INTEREST OF JUSTICE, JUDGES WILL
HAVE THE OPTION TO ORDER
TREATMENT THROUGH MENTAL HEALTH
DIVERSION CARE. COURT ASSISTED
OUTPATIENT TREATMENT, OR
CONSERVATORSHIP. UNDER SB 1323,
THE JUDGE WILL HAVE MORE
FLEXIBILITY IN PROVIDING THE
PROPER TREATMENT FOR INDIVIDUALS
WITHIN OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM.
RECENT AMENDMENTS REMOVED ALL
OPPOSITION TO THE BILL. THE
MEASURE IS SUPPORTED BY THE
CALIFORNIA JUDGES ASSOCIATION.

ASSEMBLY MEMBER CARRA AND

ACTIONS. ASSEMBLY MEMBER CAREY,
YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU,
MR. SPEAKER. I RISE TO PRESENT
AB 1755. SINCE THE END OF THE
PANDEMIC ERA RESTRICTIONS ON
COURT HEARINGS, THE NUMBER OF
LEMON LAW RELATED LAWSUITS HAS
SKYROCKETED. IN FACT, JUDGES
REPORT THAT IN LA COUNTY, LEMON
LAW CASES NOW REPRESENT 10% OF
ALL CIVIL FILINGS IN THE COUNTY.
NINE YEARS AGO, THERE WERE ABOUT
4000 A YEAR. THIS YEAR, IT'S
EXPECTED TO BE 30,000. LEMON LAW
CASES. AS A RESULT, ALL CIVIL
LITIGANTS ARE BEING IMPACTED AND
CONSUMERS SEEKING WITH DEFECTIVE
LEMONS FOR CARS ARE STRUGGLING
TO GET RELIEF FROM THE COURTS.
AB 1755 REPRESENTS A COMPROMISE
BETWEEN THE CONSUMER ATTORNEYS
OF SOME AUTO MANUFACTURERS AND
CIVIL DEFENSE ATTORNEYS, AND
MOST OR SOME AUTO MANUFACTURERS,
MOST NOTABLY GENERAL MOTORS. THE
COMPROMISE HAS THREE PRIMARY
COMPONENTS PRETRIAL PROCEDURES.
CONSUMERS MUST NOW INFORM
MANUFACTURERS IN WRITING IF THEY
WANT A LEMON VEHICLE BOUGHT OR
BACK, OR A PLACE. IT COULD BE AN
EMAIL MANUFACTURER RECEIVING THE
NOTICE MUST MUST AGREE TO
REPLACE THE VEHICLE WITHIN 30
DAYS, OR ELSE THE CONSUMER MAY
GO TO COURT. IF THE PARTIES
REACH AGREEMENT, THE
MANUFACTURER MUST COMPLETE THE
PURCHASE OR REPLACEMENT OF THE
VEHICLE WITHIN 60 DAYS, AND THIS
NOTICE CAN BE TRANSMITTED IN THE
CONSUMER'S NATIVE LANGUAGE.
ADDITIONALLY, IT DEALS WITH
STREAMLINED EARLY DISCOVERY AND
MEDIATION. IF A CASE GOES TO
COURT, PARTIES MUST PROVIDE A
MANDATORY SET OF DOCUMENTS AND
DISCOVERY WITHIN 60 DAYS OF A
CASE BEING FILED. PLAINTIFF AND
DEFENDANT MUST SUBMIT TO A
DEPOSITION WITHIN 120 DAYS OF A
CASE BEING FILED. BOTH PARTIES
MUST ATTEND MEDIATION WITHIN 150
DAYS, THE CASE BEING FILED. BOTH
SIDES MUST HAVE A PERSON CAPABLE
OF SETTLING PRESENT AT THE
MEDIATION, WHICH IS REALLY
CRITICAL TO RESOLVE THESE KINDS
OF CASES. ONLY IF EARLY
DISCOVERY AND MEDIATION FAILS
MAY THE PARTIES SEEK EXTENDED
DISCOVERY AND LITIGATION.
CERTAINTY IN LITIGATION AND
TIMELINES AND SETTLEMENTS IS
ALSO PART OF THIS BILL. THE BILL
NARROWS THE TIMELINE FOR FILING
LEMON LAW CASES. ONE YEAR AFTER
THE FINAL WARRANTY EXPIRES, OR
SIX YEARS TOTAL FROM DELIVERY OF
A VEHICLE, WHICH IS STILL A MORE
GENEROUS STATUTE OF LIMITATION
THAN ALL 49 OTHER STATES. AND
THE BILL EXPEDITE SETTLEMENT
COMPLETION BY PROVIDING ONE
STANDARD STATUTORY FORM FOR
REPURCHASE AND REPLACEMENT
AGREEMENTS, THUS ELIMINATING THE
NEED FOR NEGOTIATIONS REQUIRES A
SETTLEMENT TO BE COMPLETED IN A
TIMELY MANNER, OR ELSE BOTH
SIDES FACE POSSIBLE CIVIL
PENALTIES AND SANCTIONS, AND
REQUIRES THE MANUFACTURER TO
PROVIDE THE CONSUMER A CHECK OR
A NEW VEHICLE AT THE TIME THE
LEMON IS TURNED IN. THESE
CONSUMER FRIENDLY CHANGES SEEK
TO PROMOTE TIMELY RESOLUTION OF
CASES OUTSIDE COURT WHEN
POSSIBLE. WHAT THE BILL DOES NOT
DO THE BILL DOES NOT ALTER ANY
FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS UNDER THE
EXISTING LEMON LAWS. MUCH LIKE
TODAY, MANUFACTURERS ARE
OBLIGATED TO CONFORM VEHICLES TO
THEIR WARRANTY. IT HAS NO IMPACT
ON WARRANTIES OR THE WARRANTY.
ACT IN NO WAY DOES NOT SHIFT THE
BURDEN AWAY FROM THE PLAINTIFF
AT ALL, AND IT DOESN'T ADD ANY
ATTORNEY'S FEES AND IT PROVIDES
LANGUAGE ACCESS, WHICH DOES NOT
CURRENTLY EXIST UNDER LEMON LAW.
BY REQUIRING FORMS TO BE FILLED
TO BE PROVIDED BOTH IN ENGLISH
AND SPANISH, AND ANY LANGUAGE
CAN BE USED TO SUBMIT YOUR
REQUEST FOR A LEMON LAW ACTION.
AND SO WITH THESE CHANGES, I'M
CONFIDENT THAT CONSUMERS ARE
GOING TO BE MADE WHOLE SOONER.
MANUFACTURERS WILL SEE A
REDUCTION IN THEIR LITIGATION
COSTS, AND OVERALL, WE'LL SEE AN
UNCLOGGING OF THE COURT SYSTEM.
AND THAT'S WHY THE CALIFORNIA
JUDGES ASSOCIATION SUPPORTS THIS
LEGISLATION. WITH THAT, I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN AYE
VOTE. THANK YOU. ASSEMBLY MEMBER
CARRA ASSEMBLYMEMBER LACKEY, YOU
ARE RECOGNIZED. YEAH. THANK YOU.
MEMBERS, I AM RISING TO SPEAK IN
FAVOR OF AB 1755 BECAUSE IT'S A
IT'S A DEAL TO PROVIDE CONCRETE
REFORMS TO THE LEMON LAW THAT
WAS NEGOTIATED DIRECTLY BETWEEN
GENERAL MOTORS AND THE CONSUMER
ATTORNEYS OF CALIFORNIA. THE
BILL IS CO-SPONSORED BY FORD.
AND I CAN'T EVEN PRONOUNCE IT
RIGHT. STELLANTIS. STELLANTIS.
YOU GOT IT. YEP. THANK YOU. THUS
THE BIG US AUTOMAKERS WITH THE
LARGEST MARKET SHARE IN
CALIFORNIA ACTUALLY SUPPORT THE
BILL. THE CONCERNS ABOUT THIS
PROCESS ARE TRULY VALID. NO
COMPROMISE IS PERFECT. THE
REASON FOR THE DATE OF THE
BILL'S INTRODUCTION IS THAT THE
INTENSE NEGOTIATION BETWEEN TWO
COMPETING INTERESTS HAS BEEN
INTENSE. IN A PERFECT WORLD, I
WISH EVERY MANUFACTURER WAS AT
THE TABLE, BUT THAT WASN'T
DOABLE. THE REASON FOR THE
URGENCY IN INTRODUCING THIS BILL
NOW, INSTEAD OF WAITING UNTIL
THE NEXT LEGISLATIVE SESSION, IS
THAT THE DEAL INCLUDES AN
AGREEMENT FOR MUTUAL MORATORIUM
BETWEEN THE CONSUMER ATTORNEYS
AND THE CIVIL JUSTICE
ASSOCIATION OF CALIFORNIA ON
FIGHTING FILING. I'M SORRY, A
STATE OR LOCAL BALLOT INITIATIVE
AGAINST THE ENTRANCE INTERESTS
OF EACH ORGANIZATION'S
RESPECTIVE MEMBERS THROUGH THE
2026 ELECTION CYCLE. IF THE BILL
DOES NOT GO THROUGH, THE DEAL IS
OFF AND OUR CHANCE AT REFORM
WILL HAVE BEEN LOST, LIKELY FOR
MANY YEARS TO COME. WHEN
IMPLEMENTED, THIS BILL WILL
ANNUALLY SAVE GOVERNMENT AUTO
DEALERS, AUTOMAKERS HUNDREDS OF
MILLIONS IN LITIGATION COSTS AND
EXPEDITE THE SOLUTION FOR
CONSUMERS SO THEY CAN HAVE
AUTOMOBILES. THEY NEED TO GET TO
WORK, SCHOOL, SEE FAMILY, AND
ENJOY THE STATE'S OPEN SPACES.
ALL STAKEHOLDERS AGREE THAT THE
LEMON LAW IS DRASTICALLY NEEDED,
AND THIS IS OUR CHANCE TO SECURE
REAL REFORMS. THE REAL REASON
THAT I'M COMPLETELY SUPPORTING
THIS IS CURRENTLY, SETTLEMENTS
TAKE UP TO YEARS WITH THIS LEMON
LAW PROCESS. YEARS AND THE
PEOPLE THAT CAN LEAST AFFORD TO
BE WITHOUT THEIR VEHICLES ARE
THE ONES MOST IMPACTED BY THAT.
THIS SETTLEMENT WILL RESULT IN
MONTHS. THAT'S A BIG, BIG
IMPROVEMENT AND IT DESERVES YOUR
SUPPORT AND I HOPE YOU'LL
SUPPORT IT. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU, MR. LACKEY. ASSEMBLY MEMBER
DIXON, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. THANK
YOU, MR. SPEAKER. I TOO, RISE IN
SUPPORT OF AB 1755, AB 1755 IS
AN AGREEMENT CRAFTED TO PROVIDE
CONCRETE REFORMS TO THE LEMON
LAW THAT WAS NEGOTIATED BETWEEN
GENERAL MOTORS AND OTHER
AUTOMOBILE COMPANIES AND THE
CONSUMER ATTORNEYS OF
CALIFORNIA. THE SUBSTANTIVE
REFORMS IN AB 1755 WILL SAVE
GOVERNMENT, AUTO DEALERS AND
AUTOMAKERS MILLIONS IN
LITIGATION COSTS AND,
IMPORTANTLY, EXPEDITE SOLUTIONS
FOR CONSUMERS. CONSUMERS RELY ON
THEIR VEHICLES TO GET TO WORK IN
SCHOOL. IT IS IMPORTANT WE
PROVIDE AN EFFICIENT WAY FOR
THEIR ISSUES TO BE RESOLVED SO
THEY CAN HAVE RELIABLE
TRANSPORTATION. THIS IS A
CONSUMER BILL AT THE END OF THE
DAY, AND THIS IS WHY I AM IN
STRONG SUPPORT OF IT. IT'S A
FIRST CHANGE AND AMENDMENT TO
THE LEMON LAW, BUT IT'S ONLY
PROCEDURAL. THE LAW ITSELF,
SUBSTANTIVELY, IS NOT CHANGING
IN THE SENSE OF THE CONTENTS OF
THE LAW. IT'S PROCEDURAL TO MAKE
IT EASIER FOR CONSUMERS TO
REPORT AND EXPEDITE THE REPAIR
OF THEIR VEHICLE. AND I THANK
YOU. AND I ENCOURAGE YOUR AYE
VOTE ON AB 1755. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. SELMA. MEMBER DIXON,
ASSEMBLY MEMBER HOOVER, YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MR.
SPEAKER. I RISE TO IN SUPPORT OF
AB 1755. I DO THINK WE HAVE A
UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY HERE TO, TO
VOTE ON ON SOMETHING THAT MAY
NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE
OTHERWISE. HOWEVER, I AM
DISAPPOINTED IN THE PROCESS AND
WOULD REALLY ENCOURAGE THIS BODY
TO COME BACK NEXT YEAR ON SOME
CLEAN UP LEGISLATION AND WORK
THROUGH SOME OF THE OPPOSITION'S
CONCERNS AS WELL. AND IF THE
AUTHOR IS WILLING AND IS CLOSE,
WOULD LOVE TO HEAR HIS THOUGHTS
ON THAT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU,
MR. HOOVER. MR. KALRA, WOULD YOU
LIKE TO CLOSE? THANK YOU, MR.
SPEAKER. YES, TO THE LAST POINT
FROM OUR COLLEAGUE. I'VE SPOKEN
WITH SOME OF THE OPPOSITION
MANUFACTURERS AND CONSUMER
GROUPS AND HAVE COMMITTED TO
CONTINUE CONVERSATIONS ON ANY
DETAILS THAT THEY FEEL WERE
MISSED OR THAT COULD BE IMPROVED
UPON. AND I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS
GOING TO BE CERTAINLY AN ONGOING
PROCESS. AND I'M COMMITTED TO
WORKING WITH THOSE CONSUMER
GROUPS AND MANUFACTURERS THAT
ARE NOT IN SUPPORT TODAY TO
ENSURE THAT WE CONTINUE TO WORK
ON THIS IN A WAY THAT'S
BENEFICIAL TO ALL CALIFORNIANS.
WITH THAT, I RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR AN AYE VOTE. THANK YOU, MR.

ASSEMBLY MEMBER HANEY, YOU MAY
OPEN. THANK YOU, MADAM SPEAKER,
AND MEMBERS, I RISE TO PRESENT
SB 1303 ON BEHALF OF SENATOR
CABALLERO, WHICH WILL HELP
INCREASE ACCOUNTABILITY ON
PUBLIC WORKS PROJECTS. A CURRENT
LAW MANDATES THAT ALL WORKERS ON
PUBLIC WORKS PROJECTS RECEIVE,
AMONG OTHER THINGS, PREVAILING
WAGES. PUBLIC AGENCIES ENSURE
COMPLIANCE WITH THESE LAWS, BUT
INCREASINGLY THE ENFORCEMENT IS
DELEGATED TO PRIVATE FOR PROFIT.
THIRD PARTY COMPANIES. THESE
COMPLIANCE COMPANIES FUNCTION
WITH MINIMAL AND INCONSISTENT
PROCESSES DESPITE RECEIVING
PUBLIC DOLLARS TO DO THIS WORK.
ADDITIONALLY, THE LACK OF RULES
REGARDING CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
AND PRIOR AFFILIATIONS WITH
CONTRACTORS CAN COMPROMISE
ENFORCEMENT INTEGRITY. SB 1303
WILL ENSURE THAT IF A PUBLIC
AGENCY CONTRACTS WITH A PRIVATE
COMPANY TO COMPLETE A PUBLIC
WORKS PROJECT, THAT THERE ARE
SAFEGUARDS TO PROTECT THE
INTEGRITY OF THE PROCESS. AND
WITH THAT, I RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR YOUR AYE VOTE ON BEHALF OF

MR. GABRIEL, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER. PLEASED
TO PRESENT OUR FINAL TWO BUDGET
BILLS OF THE YEAR. THIS BILL
AMENDS THE 2024 BUDGET ACT. IT
INCLUDES 12.2 MILLION IN SPECIAL
FUNDS TO IMPLEMENT SB 1137 OF
2022, A BILL THAT CREATED
SETBACK FOR OIL AND GAS
PRODUCTION NEAR CERTAIN
RESIDENTIAL AND COMMUNITY
FACILITIES. IMPLEMENTATION OF SB
1137 WAS PAUSED IN FEBRUARY
2023, AFTER A REFERENDUM OF THAT
LAW QUALIFIED FOR THE BALLOT,
BUT THE PROPONENTS OF THE
REFERENDUM WITHDREW THAT MEASURE
FROM THE BALLOT IN LATE JUNE,
ALLOWING THE LAW TO TAKE EFFECT.
THIS BILL, AS WELL AS THE
COMPANION BILL AB 218, REFLECT A
COMPROMISE TO IMPLEMENT THE LAW
GIVEN THE DELAY CAUSED BY THE
REFERENDUM. THANK YOU AND WOULD
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR AYE
VOTE ON AB 180. THANK YOU. MR.
GABRIEL. MR. LARA, YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MR.
SPEAKER. I RISE IN OPPOSITION TO
THIS BILL BECAUSE IT IMPLEMENTS
SB 1137, A TROUBLING BILL FROM
2022, AND THIS BILL WILL ALMOST
GUARANTEE AN INCREASE IN FUEL
PRICES AND THEREFORE AN OVERALL
COST OF LIVING FOR THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR A NO VOTE.

BUDGET BILL OF THE YEAR. AB 218
IS A BILL WHICH DELAYS VARIOUS
STATUTORY DEADLINES IN SB 1137
OF 2022. THE BILL, AS WELL AS
THE COMPANION BILL, WHICH WE
JUST PASSED, REFLECT A
COMPROMISE TO IMPLEMENT THE LAW
GIVEN THE DELAY BY THE
REFERENDUM. THIS BILL ALSO
APPROPRIATES 2.6 MILLION TO THE
WATER BOARD TO IMPLEMENT THE
BILL, AND ALLOWS THE DEPARTMENT
OF CONSERVATION TO ASSESS FEES
ON OIL FACILITIES UNTIL MARCH
15TH OF NEXT YEAR, IF NEEDED, TO
FULLY FUND IMPLEMENTATION. AND
LET ME JUST TAKE ONE MOMENT,
SINCE THIS IS OUR FINAL BUDGET
BILL THIS YEAR, I WANT TO AGAIN
THANK OUR INCREDIBLE BUDGET,
INCREDIBLY INCREDIBLE AND
INCREDIBLY HARD WORKING BUDGET
STAFF, BOTH ON THE REPUBLICAN
AND THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE FOR ALL
OF THEIR WORK OVER THE COURSE OF
THIS YEAR. THANK YOU. AND
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST AN I VOTE
ON AB 218. THANK YOU. MR.
GABRIEL. MR. LARA, YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MR.
SPEAKER. MEMBER I RISE IN
RESPECTFUL OPPOSITION TO THIS
BILL. WHILE I DO APPRECIATE THE
PROVISIONS TO DELAY DEADLINES
WITH COMPLYING WITH SB 1137 FROM
2022, THE BROADER CONCERNS
REMAIN THE SAME. ULTIMATELY,
PRODUCERS WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR
THE COST OF COMPLIANCE, AS WELL
AS PAY FOR THE COST FOR THE
STATE TO IMPLEMENT SB 1137.
THESE COSTS WILL INEVITABLY
AGAIN LEAD TO AN INCREASED PRICE
AT THE PUMP FOR REGULAR
CALIFORNIA, AND AN OVERALL
INCREASE FOR THE COST OF GOODS,
AND I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR A NO
VOTE, AND I WILL JUST SECOND OUR
CHAIR'S THANKS TO BOTH THE
REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATIC
COLLEAGUES AND THE BUDGET STAFF,
THIS BUDGET HAS BEEN PAINFUL FOR
A LOT OF PEOPLE AND A LOT OF
DIFFERENT WAYS, BUT I CERTAINLY
RESPECT THE HARD WORK THAT
EVERYBODY'S DONE. SO THANK YOU

YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU,
MR. SPEAKER, AND MEMBERS, I RISE
TO PRESENT AB 535. THIS IS A
BIPARTISAN BILL. IT'S A LATE
BILL THAT'S MOVING FORWARD. AND
THE REASON THAT WE'RE DOING THAT
IS BECAUSE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT CALIFORNIA COMES IN LINE
WITH STATE REGULATIONS THAT WILL
NOW ALLOW VETERAN DISABILITY
BENEFITS TO NOT BE INCLUDED WHEN
BEING CONSIDERED FOR HOUSING. SO
THIS WILL OPEN UP HOUSING FOR
DISABLED VETERANS. AND WE'RE
VERY PROUD THAT CALIFORNIA IS
HELPING TO LEAD THE WAY AND MOVE
THIS FORWARD. I WANT TO THANK MY
COLLEAGUE FROM ENCINO FOR HIS
LEADERSHIP AND WORK IN THIS
SPACE. AS WELL. AND BECAUSE
THESE FEDERAL REGULATORY CHANGES
HAVE EXCLUDED VETERANS
DISABILITY BENEFITS FROM INCOME
CALCULATIONS FOR DETERMINING
ELIGIBILITY FOR VETERANS
SUPPORTIVE HOUSING, THAT, YOU
KNOW, NOW WITHOUT CONFORMING VÆ
ÁP TO THOSE CHANGES, VETERANS
WHO WOULD NOW BE ELIGIBLE FOR
FEDERAL HOUSING VOUCHERS WILL
FIND THEMSELVES TURNED AWAY. YET
AGAIN FROM CALIFORNIA'S VETERAN
HOUSING PROGRAMS BECAUSE OF
THEIR DISABILITY BENEFITS. AB
535 IS NECESSARY, AND A SIMPLE
FIX THAT WILL CLEAR AWAY ANY
OBSTACLES TO GETTING VETERANS
INTO NEEDED SUPPORTIVE HOUSING.

YOU HAD OPENED. YOU STATED THAT
THE SECOND EXTRAORDINARY SESSION
WAS OPENED AND I MOVED TO
ADJOURN SINE DIE, THAT MOTION IS
ALWAYS IN ORDER, EVEN IF OTHER
THINGS HADN'T BEEN TAKEN UP,
INCLUDING THE ORGANIZATIONAL
MOTIONS THAT WERE MADE THAT
MOTION IS ALWAYS IN ORDER. AND
SO THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A VOTE
ON THAT MOTION TO ADJOURNED SINE
DIE.
IT HAS BEEN THE CUSTOM. AS OUR
BELIEF THAT WE WERE ACTUALLY NOT
IN EXTRAORDINARY. IT'S MY BELIEF
THAT WE WERE NOT ACTUALLY IN
EXTRAORDINARY SESSION WHEN YOU
MADE YOUR MOTION. IT HAS BEEN
THE CUSTOM THAT WE REMAIN IN
EXTRAORDINARY SESSION UNTIL
THERE IS A RESOLUTION ADOPTED BY
THE LEGISLATURE. AND THAT HAS
NOT THAT DID NOT HAPPEN, HAS NOT
HAPPENED. CAN I RESPOND TO THAT?
YOU MAY. NONETHELESS, THE RULES
ARE THERE MAY BE A CUSTOM, BUT
THE RULES ARE THIS MOTION IS
ALWAYS IN ORDER, AND YOU HAD
ANNOUNCED THE OPENING OF A
SECOND EXTRAORDINARY SESSION. I
MADE THE MOTION. IT WASN'T IN
ORDER, AND NEEDED TO BE VOTED ON
CUSTOM. NONETHELESS THE RULE IS
WHAT IT IS. SO THERE SHOULD HAVE
BEEN A VOTE ON THAT MOTION IS MY
IS MY POINT, I ALREADY RULED ON
THE MOTION TO ADJOURN. I APPEAL
THE DECISION WAS APPEALED AND IT
WAS MY MOTION OR MY APPEAL. MY
MOTION WAS SUPPORTED BY THE
HOUSE. SO WE MY OPINION WE ARE
DONE AT THIS POINT. IS THAT YOUR
RULING THEN? THAT IS MY RULING.
OKAY. THEN I APPEAL THE DECISION
OF THE CHAIR. WE DID THAT. YOU
WANT TO APPEAL IT AGAIN? I'M.
I'M ON MY POINT OF ORDERING MY
DECISION THAT THAT WE HAD
ALREADY DISPENSED WITH THIS THIS.
I CAN DO THAT. I'M APPEALING
YOUR YOUR RULING. YES. YOU'RE
APPEALING MY RULING. SO I'M MY
RULING IS AGAIN BEING APPEALED.
MR. GALLAGHER IS APPEALING THE
RULING OF THE CHAIR. I AM ASKING
FOR AN AYE VOTE TO SUPPORT THE
RULING OF THE CHAIR. MR.
GALLAGHER IS ASKING FOR A NO
VOTE. SO TECHNICALLY, WE DON'T
ALLOW DEBATE ON APPEALS WHEN
THEY RELATE TO A TRANSGRESSION
OF THE RULES. BUT WE DID WE DID
ALLOW THAT. WE GAVE MR. SALIH
HIS TWO MINUTES.
SO I'M GOING TO ASK THE BODY
ONCE AGAIN TO SUSTAIN. I'M GOING
TO ASK YOU TO VOTE TO SUSTAIN MY

AYE VOTE. MR. GALLAGHER IS
ASKING FOR A NO VOTE. I'M ASKING

WE ARE NOW MOVING TO A FINAL
ITEM 112 AB 1777 BY MR. TING.
CLERK WILL READ. ASSEMBLY BILL
1777 BY ASSEMBLY MEMBER TING AND
OTHERS. AN ACT RELATING TO
AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES. MR. TING,
YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU,
MR. SPEAKER. I'M RISING TO
PRESENT AB 1777. MY JOURNEY WITH
AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES STARTED A
NUMBER OF YEARS AGO, WHEN THE
AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES COMPANY
STARTED TESTING VEHICLES IN MY
HOME CITY OF SAN FRANCISCO AND
NOT JUST MY CITY, BUT ALSO MY
NEIGHBORHOOD. AND WHAT WE SAW IS
AFTER THEY WERE DEPLOYED AND WE
STARTED TAKING RIDES, WHILE MANY
THINGS WENT SMOOTHLY, SOME
THINGS WENT VERY WRONG. WE HAD
SITUATIONS WHERE THE CARS WOULD
ENTER LIVE, POLICE SITUATIONS,
LIVE FIREFIGHTER SITUATIONS, AND
ACTUALLY INTERFERING WITH POLICE
WORK, INTERFERING, INTERFERING
WITH FIREFIGHTERS. WE SAW A
REALLY AWFUL SITUATION WHERE
UNFORTUNATELY, THERE WAS AN
ACCIDENT AND A WOMAN GOT DRAGGED
AND UNFORTUNATELY GOT SEVERELY
INJURED BY AN AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE.
AND SO WHAT I STARTED TO DO WAS
BRING TOGETHER STAKEHOLDERS,
ESPECIALLY MANY OF THE
STAKEHOLDERS IN MY CITY POLICE,
FIRE, TRANSPORTATION, REALLY
WORKING WITH ALSO THE VEHICLE
COMPANIES, WORKING WITH MANY,
MANY STAKEHOLDERS. ALSO AT THE
STATE LEVEL TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT THE RIGHT BALANCE WAS TO
REGULATE THIS INDUSTRY AND ALSO
HOW TO PROTECT PUBLIC SAFETY.
AND SO WHAT WE DID IS WE CAME UP
WITH ONE SET OF TOOLS TO ENSURE
THAT LAW ENFORCEMENT AND
FIREFIGHTERS AND FIRST
RESPONDERS CAN COMMUNICATE WITH
THESE VEHICLES. THEY'RE
DRIVERLESS, SO THERE'S NO WAY TO
PULL THEM OVER. THERE'S NO WAY
TO COMMUNICATE WITH THEM. SO NOW
WITHIN THIS LEGISLATION, THERE
CAN BE TWO WAY VOICE
COMMUNICATION. THERE'S A HOTLINE
THAT'S SET UP. THERE IS
GEOFENCING THAT IS SET UP IN
CASE WE KNOW THERE'S A PARADE
COMING OR STREETS GET BLOCKED
OFF. WE CAN GEOFENCE THAT AREA
SO THAT THE CARS WON'T GO INTO
THAT AREA. THE OTHER THING THAT
I NOTICED IS ALSO, YOU CANNOT
CITE AN AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE
BECAUSE IN THE VEHICLE CODE YOU
CAN ONLY CITE DRIVERS. IT'S
ACTUALLY IN THE VEHICLE CODE.
YOU CAN'T CITE ANYBODY BUT A
DRIVER. AND SO WHAT WE STARTED
DOING WAS WE SAID WE WANTED TO
MAKE SURE THAT YOU COULD CITE
THESE AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES. AND
ONCE WE GOT INTO THE SENATE, WE
GOT FEEDBACK FROM THE COURTS
SAYING, WELL, WHILE THEY
SUPPORTED THE IDEA OF CITING THE
VEHICLES, THEY WEREN'T SURE THAT
THEY COULD LOGISTICALLY HANDLE
IT AND THEY WEREN'T SURE THAT IT
WAS DEFINITELY THE RIGHT WAY TO
GO BECAUSE AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE
COMPANIES, THEY COULD JUST
SIMPLY PAY THE FINE. UNLIKE US,
THEY WOULDN'T GET POINTS IN.
UNLIKE US, THEY WOULDN'T GET
THEIR INSURANCE GOING UP. THESE
THESE WERE ISSUES THAT DIDN'T
REALLY COMPUTE IN OUR TRAFFIC
COURTS BECAUSE OUR COURTS CAME
OUT IN OPPOSITION. OUR TRAFFIC
COURTS REALLY WEREN'T HANDLED,
WERE ABLE TO HANDLE CAR
COMPANIES THERE TO HANDLE YOU
AND I AND OUR TRAFFIC CITATIONS.
SO WE WORKED WITH DMV, CHP. THEY
GAVE US AMENDMENTS THAT WE TOOK
TO HAVE A PROCESS WHERE LAW
ENFORCEMENT WILL NOW CITE THEM
WITH A NOTICE OF NONCOMPLIANCE.
THAT INFORMATION GOES DIRECTLY
TO DMV, WHICH IS IN CHARGE OF
REGULATING THIS INDUSTRY. THOSE
INFRACTIONS RIGHT NOW ARE BEING
SELF-REPORTED. SO, AGAIN, THAT
INFORMATION IS BEING
SELF-REPORTED. WHAT WE FOUND IN
THAT INCIDENT WHERE THAT POOR
WOMAN GOT DRAGGED IN SAN
FRANCISCO IS THAT THAT COMPANY
DIDN'T REPORT THAT INFORMATION,
WHICH IS WHY DMV WENT AND DID
THEIR JOB, AND THEY SUSPENDED
THAT COMPANY'S LICENSE. SO
AGAIN, DMV DID WHAT THEY WERE
SUPPOSED TO DO. THEY WERE
MONITORING THE SITUATION,
MONITORING THE CAR COMPANIES,
AND THEY SUSPENDED THE LICENSE.
AND SO THIS WILL NOW STREAMLINE
THAT PROCESS WHERE THEY'RE NOT
RELYING ON THE COMPANIES TO
SELF-REPORT THESE NOTICES OF
NONCOMPLIANCE WILL GO DIRECTLY
TO DMV, AND THEY WILL HAVE A
RECORD FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT OF
WHAT INFRACTIONS ARE GOING. AND
THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT BECAUSE
IT'S NOT JUST HAPPENING NOW IN
SAN FRANCISCO. THE CARS ARE NOW
BEING DEPLOYED IN LOS ANGELES.
SOON THEY'RE GOING TO BE
DEPLOYED IN EVERY SINGLE MAJOR
CITY IN OUR STATE. SO THIS TO ME
IS A SENSIBLE PIECE OF
LEGISLATION. IT STRIKES A
BALANCE BETWEEN REGULATING THE
INDUSTRY, MAKING SURE OUR FIRST
RESPONDERS, OUR PUBLIC SAFETY
OFFICIALS ARE PROTECTED. THESE
CARS WOULD ACTUALLY GO AND HIT
FIRE TRUCKS. THESE CARS WOULD GO
AND INTERFERE WITH LIVE POLICE
SITUATIONS. SO WE WANT TO
PROTECT OUR FIRST RESPONDERS,
AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
THERE IS ACCOUNTABILITY AND THAT
THERE'S CONSEQUENCES. SO IF YOU
DON'T VOTE FOR THE LEGISLATION,
YOU'LL GO YOU'LL CONTINUE WITH
THE STATUS QUO, THE STATUS QUO
IS THESE CARS CANNOT BE CITED.
LAW ENFORCEMENT CAN'T EVEN PULL
THESE CARS OVER WITHOUT THIS
LEGISLATION. SO AGAIN, WITH THE
AMENDMENTS FROM CHP AND DMV, WE
NOW HAVE LEGISLATION THAT WILL
REGULATE MAKE OUR STREETS SAFER
AND ENSURE THAT WE CAN GET THAT
INFORMATION TO THE DMV TO
MONITOR THESE COMPANIES AND MAKE
SURE THAT THEY WORK WITH THE
COMPANIES TO CORRECT THE
SITUATION. THANK YOU, MR. TING.
MR. HOOVER, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER. I RISE
IN SUPPORT OF AB 1777. I
APPRECIATE MY COLLEAGUE FROM SAN
FRANCISCO'S WORK ON THIS
IMPORTANT BILL. I THINK IT
SOLVES A REALLY IMPORTANT
PROBLEM IN HIS COMMUNITY. I ALSO
THINK IT STRIKES THE PROPER
BALANCE BETWEEN ENSURING PUBLIC
SAFETY WHILE STILL ALLOWING THIS
TECHNOLOGY TO CONTINUE TO
IMPROVE. RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN
AYE VOTE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU,
MR. HOOVER. SEEING AND HEARING
NO. EXCUSE ME, MR. GALLAGHER,
YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU,
MR. SPEAKER. MEMBERS, I AM A BIT
TORN ON THE BILL AND, YOU KNOW,
HAD DISCUSSIONS WITH THE AUTHOR,
CERTAINLY. I THINK THAT WE NEED
TO HAVE THINGS IN PLACE TO DEAL
WITH AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES, THIS
IS A NEW THING, AND IT'S MOSTLY
HAPPENING IN THE AUTHOR'S
DISTRICT, SO I UNDERSTAND THAT,
YOU KNOW, I DON'T HAVE A LOT OF
AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES RUNNING
AROUND IN MY DISTRICT RIGHT NOW,
SO I SEE THE NEED, FOR STARTING
TO BEGIN THE FRAMEWORK OF SOME
KIND OF ABILITY TO HOLD PEOPLE
ACCOUNTABLE, YOU KNOW, BOTH
CRIMINALLY AND CIVILLY, FOR
TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS FOR WHEN
THESE, WHEN THESE IF THESE CARS
ARE NOT FOLLOWING, YOU KNOW,
THERE IS NO DRIVER. AND I SO I
GET THAT THERE'S NO DRIVER,
THERE'S NOT SOMEONE THAT WE CAN
TICKET, IN THE NORMAL SITUATION,
BUT I DO WONDER IF WE'RE DOING
THIS SORT OF AT A LATE HOUR AND,
YOU KNOW, HAVE THESE THINGS BEEN
FULLY, YOU KNOW, THOUGHT
THROUGH. SO THOSE ARE THOSE ARE
SOME OF MY CONCERNS. AND MAYBE
WHAT I WOULD JUST DO IS JUST
LEAVE IT, YOU KNOW, TO MAYBE AS
A QUESTION TO THE AUTHOR, LIKE,
HOW DO YOU THINK THAT THOSE
THINGS HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED, YOU
KNOW, BY THIS CONSTRUCTION THAT
YOU'VE COME UP WITH, WHICH
INVOLVES THE DMV AND THE NOTICE
PROVISIONS, I KNOW THAT THERE'S
BEEN SOME THAT SAY, HEY, YOU
KNOW, DOES THIS ENSURE THAT
THERE IS PENALTIES JUST LIKE ANY
OTHER DRIVER? IF WE VIOLATED THE
TRAFFIC LAWS, WE WOULD HAVE TO
GO TO COURT. WE COULD FACE
PENALTIES. HOW DO WE MAKE SURE
THAT THERE IS ACCOUNTABILITY,
BUT ALSO HOW DO WE ALSO ENSURE
THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO UNDULY
BURDEN A NEW TECHNOLOGY THAT,
YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY HAS GREAT
POTENTIAL IN THE FUTURE AS WELL.
SO YOU MAY ADDRESS THAT IN YOUR
CLOTHES IF YOU WISH TO CLOSE.
MR. TING, I'D LIKE TO ADJUST MY
CLOTHES. THANK YOU. PLEASE GO
AHEAD. ALL RIGHT. I'M SORRY.
EXCUSE ME. ARE YOU GOING? I'M
OFFERING AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU
TO CLOSE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
JUST TO REALLY APPRECIATE OUR
MINORITY LEADERS QUESTIONS. WHAT
WE SAW IS THIS PROCESS WAS A
YEAR LONG PROCESS. WE'VE BEEN
WORKING WITH STAKEHOLDERS TO
MAKE SURE THAT WE REALLY LISTEN
TO, ESPECIALLY POLICE, FIRE,
LISTEN TO WHAT WAS REALLY
HAPPENING ON THE GROUND AND
REALLY TAKE WHAT WE HAD LEARNED
AS THAT PROCESS. WHILE THE IDEA
OF THE IDEA CAME FROM ME TO
ACTUALLY HAVE THESE CITATIONS,
OFTENTIMES IN THE LEGISLATIVE
PROCESS, YOU HAVE AN IDEA, YOU
HAVE A DIRECTION YOU WANT TO GO.
THINGS CHANGE ALONG THE WAY.
WHEN YOU TALK TO AGENCIES, WHEN
YOU REALLY TALK AND FIGURE OUT,
IS THIS REALLY FEASIBLE? I THINK
WE WORKED OUT WITH THE AGENCIES
THAT ARE REGULATING THE
COMPANIES, WHICH IS THE DMV AND
CHP. THE CHP ARE IN CHARGE OF
PROTECTING OUR ROADS AND OUR
HIGHWAYS, MAKING SURE THAT
ESPECIALLY THE VEHICLE CODE IS
REALLY PROPER. AND SO TAKING
THEIR ADVICE, I THINK THIS DOES
MAKE QUITE A BIT OF SENSE. IT
ENSURES THAT WE HAVE THIS
BALANCE. WE'RE NOT WE'RE NOT
KILLING THE INDUSTRY, BUT WE'RE
MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE MAKING
OUR STREETS SAFER. IT'S
PROTECTING PUBLIC SAFETY. AND IT
DOES SO IN A WAY TO HOLD THE
COMPANIES ACCOUNTABLE. THE
COMPANIES RIGHT NOW ARE ONLY
RESPONSIVE TO ONE AGENCY, ONE
AGENCY ALONE. THEY'RE NOT AFRAID
OF OUR COURTS. THEY ARE AFRAID
OF THE DMV. THE DMV DID THEIR
JOB. WHEN A COMPANY WASN'T
PROVIDING THE INFORMATION, AND
THEY PULLED THEIR LICENSE. SO
DMV DID THEIR JOB OF HOLDING
THIS COMPANY ACCOUNTABLE, MAKING
SURE THE ROADS WERE SAFE AFTER
THEY THOUGHT THERE WERE TOO MANY
INFRACTIONS. AND REALLY, THERE
WAS ONE SITUATION THEY WANTED TO
MAKE SURE THAT THEY ADDRESSED
IT. SO I THINK THIS STRIKES A
BALANCE. AND AGAIN, THIS IS NEW
TECHNOLOGY. SO YOU ALSO WANT TO
MAKE SURE YOU GET IT RIGHT AND
YOU'RE TAKING THE PROPER STEPS.
AND SO GIVEN THAT I THINK THIS
IS A VERY IMPORTANT FIRST STEP
TO PROTECT PUBLIC SAFETY. FIRST
RESPONDERS. AND IT'S ALSO A VERY
IMPORTANT FIRST STEP TO HAVE
ACCOUNTABILITY ON THESE
COMPANIES. WITH THAT RESPECT, I
ASK FOR I VOTE ON AB 1777. THANK
YOU, MR. TING. WITH THAT, THE

MR. GALLAGHER, YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MR.
SPEAKER. A B 1938 IS BACK FOR
CONCURRENCE IN THIS HOUSE. THIS
BILL CODIFIES BEST PRACTICES FOR
DEAF AND HARD OF HEARING KIDS BY
SPECIFYING THAT INCLUSIVE
PRACTICES INVOLVE PLACEMENT AND
ENVIRONMENTS THAT PROVIDE
COMPREHENSIVE ACCESS TO THE
LANGUAGE AND SERVICES REQUIRED
FOR EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION AND
OVERALL DEVELOPMENT. AS MANY OF
YOU KNOW, I HAVE TWO DEAF
BROTHERS, AND I'VE SEEN THEM
COME UP THROUGH THE EDUCATION
SYSTEM. AND THIS IS A POLICY.
THIS IS AN IDEA THAT WAS
PROMOTED SINCE 1994 AND WE STILL
HAVEN'T ADOPTED IT, BUT WE CAN
DO IT TODAY BY PASSING THIS,
THIS LEGISLATION. THERE'S BEEN A
LOT OF WORK DONE BY MANY
STAKEHOLDERS OVER MANY YEARS. I

MR. SPEAKER. MEMBERS, I RISE IN
SUPPORT OF THIS MEASURE, YOU
KNOW, THE AUTHORS WORK VERY HARD
ON THIS BILL AND GOTTEN TO KNOW
HIM AND HOW HARD HE'S WORKED ON
THIS ISSUE IN GENERAL. AND AND I
THINK, THE AMOUNT OF SUPPORT I
MEAN, THIS IS NOT A SMALL DEAL
TO PUT TOGETHER SOMETHING THAT
SCHOOLS ARE GOING TO HAVE TO DO
AND WILL DO TO HELP. THEY SHOULD
BE DOING THIS TO HELP OUR
CHILDREN WHO ARE HARD OF
HEARING. ACTUALLY, I GREW UP MY
GRANDMOTHER. SHE, SHE WE GREW UP
ACTUALLY AROUND, IT WAS REALLY
MY GRANDPA. HE WAS MY GRANDMA'S,
BOYFRIEND. AFTER MY GRANDPA
PASSED AWAY. FORTUNATELY, BUT HE
COULDN'T HEAR. AND SO WE GREW
UP, YOU KNOW, WITH THAT. AND OUR
FAMILY KNEW SIGN LANGUAGE, AND
YOU KNOW THAT. BUT HE DIDN'T
HAVE THE SAME OPPORTUNITIES THAT,
YOU KNOW, THIS BILL WILL HELP
CREATE. SO WITH THAT, I REALLY
APPRECIATE YOU DOING THIS,
MISTER MINORITY FLOOR LEADER,
AND LOOKING FORWARD TO
SUPPORTING IT. AND WITH THAT, I
ASK FOR AN AYE VOTE. THANK YOU,

ITEM NUMBER 63. MEMBERS WE ARE
BACK ON FILE. WE'RE TAKING UP
FILE. ITEM NUMBER 63. SB 1037.
THE ACRYLIC WILL READ THE SENATE
BILL 1037 BY SENATOR WIENER AND
OTHERS RELATED TO HOUSING.
ASSEMBLY MEMBER WICKS, YOU MAY
OPEN. THANK YOU, MADAM SPEAKER.
MEMBERS TODAY I RISE TO PRESENT
SB 1037, A BILL BY SENATOR SCOTT
WIENER AND SPONSORED BY ATTORNEY
GENERAL ROB BONTA. AS WE KNOW,
WE STILL HAVE A MAJOR HOUSING
CRISIS IN THE STATE. THE
LEGISLATURE HAS TAKEN
SIGNIFICANT STEPS IN THE PAST
FEW YEARS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE,
INCLUDING ESTABLISHING TIGHTER
REQUIREMENTS FOR COMPLIANCE WITH
HOUSING ELEMENT LAW AND
SIMPLIFYING THE PROCESS FOR
APPROVING HOUSING PROJECTS. AND
MOST CITIES AND COUNTIES HAVE
STEPPED UP TO THE PLATE BY
COMPLETING AND IMPLEMENTING
THEIR HOUSING ELEMENT AND
APPROVING COMPLIANT HOUSING
PROJECTS IN A TIMELY WAY.
UNFORTUNATELY, SOME CITIES AND
COUNTIES CONTINUE TO IGNORE
STATE LAW, WHICH SHIFTS THE
BURDEN TO ALL NEARBY
JURISDICTIONS THAT ARE DOING
THEIR PART. IN INSTANCES WHERE
THE LAW IS BEING VIOLATED, THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL MAY CHOOSE TO
TAKE THIS JURISDICTION TO COURT.
HOWEVER, THE CURRENT LAW IS
INSUFFICIENT TO CHANGE
BEHAVIORS. THE FINES FOR
BREAKING THE LAW ARE VERY LOW
AND DON'T KICK IN FOR TWO MONTHS
AFTER THE JUDGE'S RULING. THIS
MEANS A CITY OR COUNTY CAN BREAK
THE LAW AS LONG AS IT WANTS, AND
ONLY ADDRESS THE PROBLEM IF IT
GETS CAUGHT AND LOSES IN COURT.
THERE'S NO WAY TO ENSURE ALL
CITIES AND COUNTIES ARE DOING
THEIR PART. THE BILL WOULD
INCREASE THE FINES FOR BREAKING
THE LAW AND THEN HAVE THEM APPLY
FROM THE DATE OF THE VIOLATION,
INSTEAD OF AFTER A COURT'S
RULING, SO THAT THERE IS
INCENTIVE NOT TO BREAK THE LAW
IN THE FIRST PLACE. THE BILL
WOULD ALSO INCREASE THE PENALTY
FOR JURISDICTIONS THAT CONTINUE
TO IGNORE THE LAW. AFTER A COURT
ORDER. IMPORTANTLY, THIS BILL
SPECIFIES THAT ANY FINE LEVIED
WITHIN THE JURISDICTION MUST BE
DEDICATED TO BUILDING MORE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN THAT
COMMUNITY. THESE CHANGES WILL
BRING ADDITIONAL ACCOUNTABILITY
INCENTIVES AND INCENTIVIZE LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS TO COMPLY WITH
CRUCIAL HOUSING LAWS THAT ARE
ASSISTING THE PRODUCTION OF
DESPERATELY NEEDED HOUSING FOR
CITIES THAT ARE IN COMPLIANCE
WITH HOUSING ELEMENT LAW. THIS
BILL IS IRRELEVANT. FOR THAT, I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN AYE
VOTE. THANK YOU. ASSEMBLY MEMBER
WICKS, SEEING NO OTHERS WISHING
TO SPEAK, THE CLERK WILL OPEN
THE ROLL. ALL THOSE VOTES WHO
DESIRE TO VOTE. ALL THOSE VOTES
WHO DESIRE TO VOTE. ALL THOSE
VOTES WHO DESIRE TO VOTE.
ALL THOSE VOTES WHO DESIRE TO
VOTE.
AND ALL THOSE VOTE. WHO DESIRE
TO VOTE. BREAK. BREAK BREAK. I
WANT.
TO.
ALL THOSE VOTES WHO DESIRE TO
VOTE.

NO LONGER UNDER MOTIONS AND
RESOLUTIONS. YOUR POINT IS NOT

POINT IS NOT WELL TAKEN. MOVING
ON. FINAL ITEM 65. MR.
LOWENTHAL, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER. I RISE
TO PRESENT SB 961 ON BEHALF OF
SENATOR WIENER. FOLKS, WE ARE IN
A TRAFFIC SAFETY CRISIS. OVER
4000 CALIFORNIANS DIE EVERY YEAR
IN TRAFFIC COLLISIONS ON OUR
ROADWAYS. A DRAMATIC INCREASE
FROM PRE-PANDEMIC LEVELS. AND
SPEEDING IS A MAJOR FACTOR IN
ONE THIRD OF THESE FATALITIES.
SB 961 MANDATES A COMMON SENSE
SPEED WARNING TECHNOLOGY THAT
EFFECTIVELY REDUCES SPEEDING.
SPECIFICALLY, SB 961 REQUIRES
PASSENGER VEHICLES, TRUCKS, AND
BUSSES MANUFACTURED OR SOLD IN
CALIFORNIA TO BE EQUIPPED WITH
PASSIVE INTELLIGENT SPEED
ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS OR ISA, THAT,
THROUGH A BRIEF AND ONE TIME
AUDIO AND VISUAL SIGNAL, WARN
THE DRIVER WHEN THEY GO MORE
THAN TEN MILES PER HOUR OVER THE
SPEED LIMIT. TO REITERATE,
PASSIVE ISA IS AN EXISTING
ADVISORY ONLY TECHNOLOGY. IT
DOES NOT PHYSICALLY LIMIT
VEHICLE SPEED IN ANY WAY. THE SB
961 REQUIREMENT DOES NOT APPLY
TO MOTORCYCLES, EMERGENCY
VEHICLES, OR TO VEHICLES THAT
ARE NOT EQUIPPED WITH EITHER A
FRONT FACING CAMERA OR GPS
SYSTEM. THE EUROPEAN UNION
ALREADY REQUIRES PASSIVE ISA ON
NEW VEHICLES. TOYOTA, THE SECOND
LARGEST US AUTO MANUFACTURER,
HAS TOLD THE NATIONAL
TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD IT
WILL INSTALL SIMILAR TECHNOLOGY
AS STANDARD IN ALL NEW MODELS
STARTING LATER THIS YEAR. THE
NTSB STRONGLY RECOMMENDS PASSIVE
ISA AND TESTIFIED AS A LEAD
WITNESS IN SUPPORT IN THE SENATE
TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE. TRIPLE
A, THE NATIONAL SAFETY COUNCIL,
THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF CITY
TRANSPORTATION OFFICIALS, AND
THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF
PEDIATRICS ALL SUPPORT THIS BILL.
IN ADDITION TO BEING
INCREASINGLY IMPLEMENTED BY
MANUFACTURERS, DRIVERS BROADLY
SUPPORT PASSIVE ISA. A RECENT
STUDY BY THE INSURANCE INSTITUTE
FOR HIGHWAY SAFETY FOUND THAT A
WHOPPING 80% OF DRIVERS WOULD
ACCEPT A PASSIVE ISA WARNING
SYSTEM WITH A TEN MILE PER HOUR
THRESHOLD. THE SAME THRESHOLD AS
THIS BILL. NOW, THE OPPOSITION
CLAIMS THAT THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT IS TAKING ACTION ON
PASSIVE ISA AND THEREFORE ACTION
BY CALIFORNIA IS UNNECESSARY.
HOWEVER NO FEDERAL RULE MAKING
ACTION FOR PASSIVE ISA ON
PASSENGER VEHICLES HAS BEEN
TAKEN, LET ALONE OPENED. THIS IS
WHY THIS WEEK THE NTSB CHAIR,
JENNIFER HOMENDY, WROTE THE
FOLLOWING IN A LETTER SUPPORTING
THE PASSIVE ISA REQUIREMENT IN
SB 961. QUOTE. THOUGH WE HAVE
ASKED NHTSA TO IMPLEMENT THE
TECHNOLOGY. THOUGH WE HAVE ASKED
NHTSA TO IMPLEMENT THE
TECHNOLOGY, NHTSA HAS REFUSED TO
ACT ON OUR RECOMMENDATIONS. NO
ANTICIPATED ACTION IS
FORTHCOMING. DESPITE NHTSA
RECENTLY INCLUDING ISA ON ITS
LIST OF COUNTERMEASURES THAT
WORK COLLEAGUES, IT IS PAST TIME
FOR US TO REQUIRE THIS COMMON
SENSE VEHICLE FEATURE AND
VEHICLES AND WORK TO ADDRESS OUR
TRAFFIC SAFETY CRISIS. THANK
YOU, MR. LOWENTHAL. MR. LACKEY,
YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. LISTEN,
MEMBERS, I HONOR THE ATTEMPT TO
TRY TO ADDRESS SPEEDING BECAUSE
IT IS A MAJOR CAUSE OF A LOT OF
NEEDLESS INJURY AND DEATH. BUT I
WILL TELL YOU THAT THE EXPERTS
ON THIS ISSUE IS NHTSA THERE.
THE NATIONAL TRAFFIC HIGHWAY
SAFETY ADMINISTRATION, THEY HAVE
NOT CONCLUDED THAT THIS HAS ANY
MEANINGFUL PROCESS, AND THEY ARE
IN THE PROCESS OF EVALUATING
THIS. BUT BEFORE YOU TAKE
DRASTIC MEASURES, IT SHOULD BE
WELL THOUGHT OUT BY THE EXPERTS.
I WOULD SUBMIT TO YOU THAT THE
PEOPLE THAT ARE DRAFTING THIS
HAVE NOT. THEY'RE BUSY DRIVING A
DESK AND THEY'RE NOT DRIVING A
CAR BECAUSE I CAN TELL YOU FROM
MY EXPERIENCE OF DEALING PEOPLE
WITH TRAFFIC, IT'S A VERY
COMPLICATED CHALLENGE TO TRY TO
GET PEOPLE TO COMPLY WITH SPEED
LAWS. ALL YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR
NOW IS YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR A
BEEP AND A FLASH, AND IT'S GOING
TO BE A DISTRACTION. IT'S NOT
GOING TO CHANGE BEHAVIOR. PEOPLE
ARE GOING TO BECOME ANNOYED AND
IRRITATED, AND THEY'RE NOT GOING
TO CHANGE THEIR BEHAVIOR. IT'S
VERY HARD TO CHANGE PEOPLE'S
DRIVING HABITS. TAKE IT FROM ONE
WHO'S WATCHED AND SPENT 28 YEARS
MONITORING THIS. THIS IS A NOBLE
ATTEMPT, AND I GIVE THE AUTHOR
CREDIT FOR TRYING TO ADDRESS
TRAFFIC SAFETY. IT ALSO
ENCROACHES A LITTLE BIT ON
PRIVACY. THERE'S PRIVACY
CONCERNS AS WELL. AND IT'S A
IT'S A DANGEROUS MOVE. AND I
THINK IT WILL BE INEFFECTIVE.
AND SO THEREFORE I DON'T THINK
IT DESERVES ANY SUPPORT. AND I
URGE YOU TO VOTE NO THANK YOU,
MR. LACKEY. ASSEMBLY MEMBER JO
PATTERSON, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
GREAT. THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER.
MEMBERS, YOU KNOW, I RECENTLY
LEARNED THAT ONE OF THE CITIES
IN MY DISTRICT HAS HIGHER
PROPENSITY OF FATALITIES THAN A
LOT OF OTHER CITIES. AND SO IT'S
CONCERNING TO ME, AND SOMETHING
THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I
HAVE TWO CONCERNS WITH THIS
BILL. ONE OF THEM IS THAT AND I
KNOW SOME OF THESE DISCUSSIONS
HAVE COME UP, BUT CALIFORNIA
SYSTEM OF CREATING SPEED LIMITS
IN THE FIRST PLACE ENTAILS THE
DRIVERS THEMSELVES AND THE
PURPOSE OF THAT IS SO WHEN
YOU'RE DRIVING DOWN A ROAD. YOU
CAN'T BE, YOU KNOW, BASICALLY
ENTRAPMENT. YOU CAN'T BE PULLED
OVER FOR DRIVING THE SPEED THAT
EVERYBODY ELSE IS DRIVING. AND
SO THERE'S A VERY CALCULATED,
WAY TO CREATE SPEED LIMITS IN
CALIFORNIA. AND MAYBE THAT NEEDS
TO BE LOOKED AT. I KNOW THAT
THERE HAVE BEEN EFFORTS ABOUT
THAT OVER THE YEARS. SO THIS
THIS WILL CHANGE THAT DYNAMIC.
THIS WILL HAVE AN IMPACT ON
THAT. THE WE ALSO NEED THE I DO
HAVE CONFIDENCE THAT THIS
TECHNOLOGY CAN EXIST. WE'RE NOT
THERE YET. I DON'T KNOW IF WE'LL
BE THERE BY 2030, YOU KNOW ME
JUST DRIVING USING THE VARIOUS
APPS, THE SPEED LIMITS. RIGHT
NOW ARE ALWAYS WRONG BECAUSE
THEY'RE CHANGING BECAUSE OF THE
PROCESS THAT I JUST TALKED
ABOUT. AND THEY HAVE TO BE
UPDATED EVERY FIVE YEARS. BUT
THE OTHER THING IS, WHICH IS
ACTUALLY JUST MORE CONCERNING TO
ME, IS THAT I ALREADY HAVE
THINGS SCREAMING IN MY CAR AT
EVERY GIVEN MOMENT WHEN I HAVE
MY CHILDREN IN THERE, AND THE
LAST THING I NEED IS MY CAR
BEEPING AT ME. BECAUSE I
GUARANTEE YOU, NOBODY HAD. LOOK,
I DON'T WANT TO GET ANYBODY
CONVICTED HERE, BUT Y'ALL DRIVE
OVER TEN MILES AN HOUR OVER THE
SPEED LIMIT. I GUARANTEE IT. SO,
SO YOU'RE ALL GOING TO GET
BEEPED ALL THE TIME, AND THAT'S
FINE, BUT IT IS. IT IS AN
ADDITIONAL, THING THAT WE'RE
REALLY GOING TO HAVE TO COPE
WITH AS A SOCIETY. AND I DON'T
KNOW IF WE'RE GOING TO REALLY BE
THERE IN SIX YEARS TO, TO FIGURE
ALL THAT OUT. AND MY KIDS,
BETWEEN MY KIDS SCREAMING AT ME
AND THIS THING BUZZING AT ME,
I'M JUST GOING TO GO CRAZIER
THAN I AM ALREADY. WITH THAT, I
ASK FOR A NO VOTE. THANK YOU,
MR. PATTERSON. MOVING TO MR.
LEE, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. OKAY.
THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER. I RISE
IN SUPPORT OF SB 961. CALIFORNIA
MUST LEAD WHERE THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT HAS FAILED TO PROTECT
OUR CONSTITUENTS FROM TRAFFIC
VIOLENCE. WHILE IT WOULD BE
GREAT FOR FEDERAL REGULATORS TO
TAKE ACTION ON PASSIVE ISA, THE
SIMPLE TRUTH IS THAT THE NHTSA
IS A VERY FAR AWAY FROM DOING
SO. FEDERAL REGULATORS HAVE
SPENT CLOSE TO A DECADE FORMALLY
CONTEMPLATING A SPEED LIMITER
RULE FOR TRUCKS, AND HAVE YET TO
ISSUE A FINAL RULE, AND THEY
HAVEN'T EVEN BEGUN A FORMAL
RULEMAKING PROCESS FOR PASSIVE
ISA. THEY THUS COULD BE OVER A
DECADE AWAY FROM A FEDERAL RULE
FOR CARS. IF THEY EVEN ELECT TO
PURSUE ONE OR FINALIZE ONE. WITH
TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE
DYING IN THE MEANTIME. FOR THESE
REASONS, THE NATIONAL
TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD HAS
GENERALLY VIEWED NHTSA AS
RESPONSE TO ITS EARLIER
RECOMMENDATIONS UNACCEPTABLE.
ADDITIONALLY, ASSEMBLY
AMENDMENTS TO THE BILL MAKE IT
TECHNOLOGY NEUTRAL AND DO NOT
REQUIRE VEHICLE TRACKING OR
IMAGE SHARING TECHNOLOGY TO BE
INSTALLED IN ANY VEHICLE. THE
BILL EXEMPTS VEHICLES THAT
AREN'T ALREADY EQUIPPED WITH
SUCH TECHNOLOGY FROM THE
REQUIREMENT, ADDRESSING BOTH
COST AND PRIVACY CONCERNS. IT IS
HIGH TIME WE DO EVERYTHING WE
CAN TO SAVE LIVES FROM TRAFFIC
VIOLENCE. THE AUTO INDUSTRY HAS
OPPOSED NUMEROUS OTHER SAFETY
REGULATIONS IN THE PAST, LIKE
AIRBAGS THAT TODAY COUNT AS
STANDARD SAFETY MEASURES ACROSS
THE BOARD. WE SHOULD NOT LISTEN
TO SIMILAR FRIVOLOUS ARGUMENTS
AGAINST A PROVEN SAFETY FEATURE
AND I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR
VOTE. COLLEAGUES THANK YOU, MR.
LEE. MR. MATHIS, YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MR.
SPEAKER. AND MEMBERS. I KNOW THE
HOUR IS GETTING LATE, THERE'S SO
MANY THINGS WITH THIS. IT'S ONE
I'M SITTING HERE AND I'M GOING,
I GOT A SON THAT JUST TURNED 15
AND HE'S ALREADY ON ME ABOUT
BUYING A CAR. AND I'M LIKE, HOW
MUCH ARE THESE NEW CARS GOING TO
COST ME, IF THEY HAVE THIS,
WHAT'S THAT GOING TO DO TO THE
INCREASE THE COST? THEY'RE I
THINK THERE WERE SOME REALLY
GOOD POINTS ALREADY BROUGHT UP
ABOUT DISTRACTED DRIVING. THE
POINTS THAT WE ALREADY HAVE A
LOT OF THINGS BEEPING AT US. THE
IDEA OF THE TEN MILES HOUR AND
OVER, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF YOU ALL
LIVE IN METROPOLITAN AREAS, BUT
FOR SOME OF US, WE LIVE OUT IN
THE COUNTRY. AND YOU GOT TO GET
AROUND SOME TRACTORS THAT ARE
HAULING SOME STUFF AND YOU'RE
GOING TO GO A LOT FASTER THAN
TEN MILES OVER TO GET AROUND
THAT QUICKLY. AND SAFELY. SO AS
WE TALK ABOUT THESE THINGS,
WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE
COST. WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT
WHAT THAT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE
OVERALL INTO THE FUTURE. AND I
DO I THINK THE CONCERNS OF NOW,
I MEAN, A LOT OF US ARE ALREADY
GOING TO HAVE OUR GPS IS BEEPING
AT US, TELLING US, HEY, YOU'RE
GOING OVER BECAUSE BECAUSE HOW
MANY OF YOU ALL HAVE THAT DON'T
LIE. YEAH. I SEE THE HEAD. NODS.
LET'S BE REAL HERE. SO NOW YOUR
CAR IS GOING TO BE FLASHING
SOMETHING, SO NOW YOU'RE GOING
TO BE LIKE, WELL, DID I GET A
FLAT TIRE? WHAT WAS THE ACRONYM
ON MY DASHBOARD? I MEAN, LET'S
BE REAL. AND SO IT JUST ADDS ONE
MORE THING FOR US TO WORRY
ABOUT. IT'S GOING TO BE ANOTHER
QUESTION ON A DMV TEST. WHEN WAS
THE LAST TIME WE ALL HAD TO
RE-UP YOUR DMV TEST? I JUST HAD
TO DO MINE. IT'S TEN YEARS HERE.
GETS YOU OLD. ARE YOU READY FOR
THAT QUESTION? WHAT IS THIS
LIGHT MEAN? WHY IS IT FLASHING
AT ME? YOU KNOW, THERE'S ANOTHER
ASPECT HERE, TOO. AND IT REMINDS
ME OF ONE OF THE QUESTIONS. AND
IT ALWAYS COMES DOWN TO IF
YOU'RE IN A CERTAIN SITUATION
AND YOU'RE MOVING WITH TRAFFIC,
WHAT SPEED SHOULD YOU BE GOING?
AND THE ANSWER IS WITH THE FLOW
OF TRAFFIC. AND THAT IS HOW THE
SPEED IS DETERMINED. ARE YOU
MOVING WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC?
NOT ARE YOU TEN MILES AN HOUR
OVER? NOT ARE YOU 15 OVER? BUT
ARE YOU MOVING SAFELY WITH THE
SPEED OF TRAFFIC? AND THIS BILL
DOES NOT COVER THOSE CONCERNS.
OH, I SEE WE HAVE A PEANUT
GALLERY IN THE BACK. SHH IT'S
OKAY. IT'S YOUR TIME. SEE WHAT I
MEAN? DISTRACTED DRIVING,
DISTRACTED SPEAKING. WE GOT TO
BE COGNIZANT OF THESE THINGS.
MEMBERS. IT'S. I THINK THIS BILL
IS AFTER SOMETHING THAT'S
IMPORTANT. I THINK IT'S GOOD. I
THINK IT'S, YOU KNOW, WE GOT A
LOT OF TECHNOLOGY GOING ON.
WE'VE PASSED A LOT OF
LEGISLATION DEALING WITH
TECHNOLOGY, DEALING WITH AI,
DEALING WITH WHERE WE'RE GOING
IN THE FUTURE WITH TECHNOLOGY
AND WHAT OUR PARTNERSHIP IS
INTERACTING WITH THAT
TECHNOLOGY. BUT I THINK RIGHT
NOW FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS ON
ON CLOCKING YOUR SPEED AND YOUR
CAR, I THINK WE ALREADY GOT
ENOUGH THINGS GOING ON THERE. SO
ON THIS ONE, MEMBERS, I ASK YOU
MAYBE LET'S SLOW IT DOWN. MAYBE
LET'S STICK WITH THE SPEED OF
TRAFFIC WITH THINGS AND LAY OFF
THIS ONE A LITTLE BIT UNTIL WE
CAN KIND OF GET SOME OF THESE
OTHER DETAILS WORKED OUT. I ASK
YOU FOR A NO VOTE. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, MR. MATHIS. MR.
GALLAGHER, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
YES THANK YOU. MEMBERS, I RISE
IN OPPOSITION TO SB 961, A BILL
THAT HIGHLIGHTS TO ME JUST HOW
OUT OF TOUCH WE HAVE GOTTEN HERE
IN THIS STATE. THIS BILL WOULD
FORCE ALL NEW CARS AND TRUCKS TO
INCLUDE A SYSTEM THAT
ESSENTIALLY NAGS DRIVERS WITH
ALERTS. IF THEY GO MORE THAN TEN
HOURS, TEN MILES PER HOUR OVER
THE SPEED LIMIT. IT SOUNDS
SIMPLE, BUT IT'S ANOTHER ATTEMPT
BY SACRAMENTO TO CONTROL OUR
LIVES AND OUR CHOICES. LET ME BE
CLEAR THIS IS JUST ANOTHER STEP
TOWARDS MAKING CALIFORNIA A
NANNY STATE. AND THERE ARE
TIMES, YOU KNOW, WHEN PEOPLE GO
OVER THE SPEED LIMIT, THERE MAY
BE ACTUALLY EMERGENCIES AND
THINGS LIKE THAT THAT OCCUR
WHERE PEOPLE NEED TO MAYBE GO
OVER THAT SPEED LIMIT AND WHO IN
THIS ROOM. HAS NOT GONE OVER THE
SPEED LIMIT AT SOME TIME. IT'S
NOT THAT WE SHOULD BE DOING
THAT, BUT NOBODY HERE CAN SIT
HERE AND SAY THAT THEY WOULD.
PERFECT. THEY'VE ALWAYS BEEN
EXACTLY UNDER THE SPEED LIMIT.
AND NOW WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A
GOVERNMENT APPROVED MECHANISM ON
OUR CARS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE
DON'T GO ANY FASTER. I MEAN,
THAT'S THE DEFINITION OF A NANNY
STATE. AND I DON'T THINK THAT'S
WHAT WE NEED. WE NEED PEOPLE TO
FOLLOW THE LAW. WE NEED PEOPLE
TO BE SAFE. AND WE HAVE
ENFORCEMENT MECHANISMS IN OUR
HIGHWAY PATROL WHO ACTUALLY, I
THINK, DO A VERY FINE JOB. SO
WHAT WE'RE REALLY TELLING THE
PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA IS THAT
THEY CANNOT BE TRUSTED TO MAKE
THEIR OWN DECISIONS, THAT THEY
NEED TO BE BABYSAT BY GOVERNMENT,
BY GOVERNMENT APPROVED GPS
DEVICES TO MAKE SURE THEY DON'T
DRIVE TOO FAST. IT'S INSULTING,
AND IT'S WHY CALIFORNIA IS
TURNING INTO A PUNCHLINE FOR THE
REST OF THE NATION. YOU CAN DO
FENTANYL IN PUBLIC WITH NO
CONSEQUENCES, BUT PARKING
GARAGES AND AMUSEMENT PARKS NEED
WARNING LABELS. YOU KNOW, YOU
CAN SET UP A HOMELESS ENCAMPMENT
AND DUMP TRASH EVERYWHERE,
DESTROY WHOLE CITY PARKS. BUT IF
YOU BUILD A DEVELOPMENT THAT
COULD GIVE THOSE PEOPLE HOMES,
YOU GET A SEQUEL LAWSUIT. IT
MAKES NO SENSE. YOU KNOW,
THERE'S LAWLESSNESS FOR SOME.
AND THEN FOR ALL THE PEOPLE WHO
ARE LAW ABIDING CITIZENS, IT'S
MORE REGULATIONS, IT'S MORE
LAWS. IT'S MORE RESTRICTIONS.
YOU CAN UNDERSTAND RATHER THAN
FIXING THE ISSUE, WE'RE DOUBLING
DOWN ON THE MESSAGE THAT
CALIFORNIANS CAN'T BE TRUSTED TO
LIVE THEIR OWN LIVES. THE LAST
THING CALIFORNIANS NEED IS
ANOTHER GOVERNMENT MANDATE THAT
DRIVES UP THE COSTS AND PUTS
OBSTACLES IN THE WAY OF THEIR
EVERYDAY LIFE. LET'S BE REAL.
THIS BILL IS ABOUT CONTROL. IT'S
NOT ABOUT SAFETY. IT'S ABOUT
CONTROL. IT'S ABOUT GOVERNMENT
THAT CLEARLY DOESN'T TRUST ITS
PEOPLE. AND I URGE YOU TO STAND
UP AND VOTE NO ON THIS, ON THIS
TERRIBLE BILL, AND LET'S INSTEAD
STAND UP FOR THE RIGHTS OF
CALIFORNIANS TO MAKE THEIR OWN
CHOICES WITHOUT THE CONSTANT
INTERFERENCE OF GOVERNMENT THAT
THINKS THEY KNOW BETTER. MR.
HOOVER, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER. I RISE
IN OPPOSITION TO SB 961, YOU
KNOW, I THINK IT'S AN
INTERESTING OBSERVATION. YOU
KNOW, AS WAS PRESENTED BY MY
COLLEAGUE FROM LONG BEACH AND
PRESENTING THIS BILL, THIS IS
BEING PRESENTED AS A PUBLIC
SAFETY MEASURE. IT IS PRESENTED
AS SOMETHING THAT IS GOING TO
MAKE OUR ROADS SAFER. BUT IF YOU
LOOK AT THE LIST OF SUPPORTERS
LISTED ON THE BILL, THERE'S NOT
A SINGLE LAW ENFORCEMENT
ASSOCIATION THAT SUPPORTS THIS
LEGISLATION. IN FACT, UP UNTIL
RECENT AMENDMENTS, THERE
ACTUALLY WAS LAW ENFORCEMENT
OPPOSITION THAT HAS NOW GONE
NEUTRAL. BUT I THINK THAT, YOU
KNOW, THE GROUPS THAT REALLY
THINK WOULD MAKE OUR ROADS THE
MOST SAFE DO NOT SUPPORT THIS
LEGISLATION. MY COLLEAGUE AND MY
SEATMATE ALSO BROUGHT UP SOME
REALLY IMPORTANT POINTS ABOUT
OUR AFFORDABILITY CRISIS IN
CALIFORNIA. NEW CAR PRICES IN
OUR STATE ARE UP 20% SINCE 2020,
AND THIS IS YET ANOTHER MANDATE
THAT IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO
INCREASE THE COST OF OUR CARS,
CONTINUE TO INCREASE THE COST
FOR CONSUMERS, AND I THINK IT
SHOULD BE REJECTED FOR THAT
REASON ALONE. AND THEN FINALLY,
I ALSO THINK IT'S REALLY
INTERESTING THAT IN THIS BODY,
WE TALK ABOUT MAKING OUR ROADS
SAFER. I BELIEVE VERY STRONGLY
THAT IF WE REALLY, REALLY CARE
ABOUT MAKING OUR ROADS SAFER, WE
NEED TO CONTINUE TO ENCOURAGE
THE CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT OF
AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY.
WE CURRENTLY HAVE 250,000 CAR
CRASHES IN OUR STATE PER YEAR.
THOSE ARE THE RESULT OF HUMAN
ERROR, AND I THINK IT IS REALLY
IMPORTANT THAT THIS LEGISLATURE
CONTINUE TO STAY FOCUSED ON
ENSURING THAT TRUE TECHNOLOGY
THAT WILL TRULY MAKE OUR ROADS
SAFER CAN CONTINUE TO DEVELOP
AND IMPROVE. RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR A NO VOTE. SEEING AND
HEARING NO FURTHER DEBATE. WOULD
YOU LIKE TO CLOSE, MR.
LOWENTHAL? YES, VERY BRIEFLY.
I'D LIKE TO THANK MY COLLEAGUES
FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE
AISLE, AND I WOULD LIKE TO
COMMENT ON A FEW OF THE THINGS
THAT WERE MENTIONED AND DEBATE.
COLLEAGUE FROM ROCKLAND, VERY
APPROPRIATELY NOTED THAT THERE
ARE TOO MANY APPS OPERATING
WHILE WE DRIVE, AND THAT SHOULD
BE A REASON WHY WE SHOULD BE
NOTIFIED IF WE ARE DISTRACTED
WHILE WE'RE DRIVING, MY
COLLEAGUE FROM PALMDALE, WHOSE I
HAVE DEEP RESPECT AND ADMIRATION
WHEN IT COMES TO ALL THINGS ON
THE ROAD, BUT GENERALIZED AND
SAID THAT PEOPLE WILL IGNORE
THIS THIS WARNING SIGN. I WILL
NOT IGNORE THIS WARNING SIGN. AS
A MATTER OF FACT, I APPRECIATE
THOSE WARNING SIGNS AS THEY COME
UP. WHEN YOU THINK OF YOUR GAS
GAUGE IN YOUR CAR, YOUR GAS
GAUGE TELLS YOU WHEN YOUR CAR IS
FULL OF GAS OR EMPTY OF GAS, BUT
WE ALL APPRECIATE THE LIGHT THAT
COMES ON THAT WARNS US THAT WE
NEED TO STOP WHAT WE'RE DOING.
THINK ABOUT WHERE WE ARE AS IT
RELATES TO FILLING UP OUR GAS
TANK. AND OF COURSE, MY
COLLEAGUE FROM PORTERVILLE
BROUGHT UP THE ISSUE OF COST.
THE COST FOR VEHICLES TO
IMPLEMENT THIS TECHNOLOGY, BUT
FAILED TO RECOGNIZE THE COST.
ALL OF US BEAR IN INSURANCE AND
OTHERWISE, MUCH LESS THE
HORRIFIC EMOTIONAL COST
ASSOCIATED WITH NOT DOING THIS.
AND FOR ALL OF THESE REASONS, I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR VOTE.
THANK YOU, MR. LOWENTHAL. AND
WITH THAT, THE CLERK WILL OPEN
THE ROLL. ALL THOSE VOTE WHO
DESIRE TO VOTE, ALL THOSE VOTE
WHO DESIRE TO VOTE. ALL THOSE
VÚI WHO DESIRE TO VOTE. ALL

THE CLERK WILL CLOSE THE ROLL

976 SENATOR SKINNER BY ASSEMBLY
MEMBER BAUER KHN. THE CLERK
WILL READ THE SENATE BILL 976 BY
SENATOR SKINNER AND OTHERS. AN
ACT RELATING TO YOUTH ADDICTION.
ASSEMBLY. ASSEMBLY MEMBER BAUER
KI¾M. THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER,
AND MEMBERS, I RISE TO PRESENT
SB 976 ON BEHALF OF SENATOR
SKINNER. THIS IS AN INCREDIBLY
IMPORTANT BILL SPONSORED BY THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL THAT ENSURES
THAT OUR YOUTH ARE NOT BEING FED
ADDICTIVE CONTENT ONLINE. IT
DOES SO BY FOCUSING NOT ON THE
CONTENT ITSELF. BECAUSE OF
SECTION 230, WHICH MANY OF YOU
HAVE HEARD ME RANT ABOUT. BUT
INSTEAD, BY MAKING SURE
PLATFORMS ARE SAFER BY REQUIRING
SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANIES TO HAVE
DEFAULT SETTINGS FOR PEOPLE
UNDER 18 THAT HAVE NO ADDICTIVE
FEEDS, THAT ENSURE THAT NO
NOTIFICATIONS ARE SENT TO THEM
DURING SCHOOL HOURS OR BETWEEN
MIDNIGHT AND 6 A.M, THEY STILL
HAVE ACCESS TO THE PLATFORMS
DURING THAT TIME, BUT THEY'RE
NOT GETTING THOSE ANNOYING
NOTIFICATIONS THAT MAKE YOU
LOOK, AND IT ADDS PRIVACY
PROTECTIONS BY MAKING MINORS
ACCOUNT PRIVATE. AS A DEFAULT
SETTING, AND THEY CAN OVERCOME
EVERYTHING BUT THE PRIVACY
SETTINGS WITH PARENTAL CONSENT.
BUT IT'S CRITICAL TO UNDERSTAND
THAT WITHOUT PARENTAL CONSENT,
NOTHING RESTRICTS YOUTH FROM
HAVING ACCESS TO CONTENT ONLINE.
IT JUST TAKES US BACK TO THE
EARLY DAYS OF SOCIAL MEDIA, WHEN
THERE WAS A TIMELINE THAT DIDN'T
HAVE THOSE ADDICTIVE ALGORITHMS,
THAT WE DIDN'T SPEND ALL OF OUR
LIVES ON, AND THIS IS A REALLY,
REALLY, INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT
BILL MEMBERS, BECAUSE AS THE
MOTHER OF TEENAGERS, I CAN TELL
YOU THAT OUR YOUTH ARE GETTING
ADDICTED BY THESE DEVICES THEY
CARRY AROUND ALL DAY. AND THE
SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANIES ARE
TRYING TO PROFIT OFF OF OUR KIDS
BY MAKING THEM ADDICTIVE. IT IS
CALLED THE ATTENTION ECONOMY FOR
A REASON. THE MORE OUR TIME OUR
KIDS SPEND ON IT, THE MORE THEY
PROFIT. AND IT IS OUR JOB
MEMBERS TO CENTER OUR CHILDREN
AND THEIR SAFETY AND ENSURE THAT
WE ARE DOING WHAT IS RIGHT BY
THEM. I'LL NOTE THAT CONCERNS
HAVE BEEN BROUGHT UP ON THIS
BILL BY THE LGBTQ PLUS
COMMUNITY. MANY OF YOU HAVE
HEARD ABOUT THAT. AND SO AS A
RESULT, SENATOR SKINNER, AND THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL ASKED ME TO LET
YOU KNOW THAT THEY HAVE HAD
CONVERSATIONS WITH OUR COLLEAGUE,
MR. ZUBIATE. CORRECT ME AS I
WANT THIS TO BRING FORWARD A
CLEAN UP BILL NEXT SESSION.
REGARDING THIS BILL, SB 976, AS
A JOINT EFFORT WITH THE ASSEMBLY
MEMBER THAT REEXAMINES THE AGE
CRITERION IN THE BILL AND
REEXAMINES THE ISSUES RAISED IN
THE LETTERS OF OPPOSITION IN THE
FLOOR ALERTS FROM THE LGBTQ,
PLUS ORGANIZATIONS AND THE ACLU.
AND WITH THAT, I RESPECT WELL,
I'LL WAIT TO ASK FOR AN AYE VOTE
AFTER DEBATE. THANK YOU.
ASSEMBLY MEMBER BAUER-KAHAN
ASSEMBLY MEMBER ZABIR. YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MR.
SPEAKER. MEMBERS, I RISE TODAY
IN RESPECTFUL OPPOSITION TO SB
976. IT IS WITHOUT QUESTION THAT
SOCIAL MEDIA POSES REAL HARMS TO
YOUNG PEOPLE, INCLUDING
DEPRESSION, LOSS OF SLEEP AND
ONLINE BULLYING, AMONG OTHER
THINGS. YET AT THE SAME TIME,
SOCIAL MEDIA PROVIDES A CRITICAL
SPACE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE TO
EXPLORE THEIR IDENTITIES, BUILD
COMMUNITY AND CREATE A SENSE OF
BELONGING. THIS IS ESPECIALLY
TRUE FOR LGBTQ PLUS AND OTHER
VULNERABLE YOUNG PEOPLE WHO USE
SOCIAL MEDIA TO CREATE SOCIAL
SUPPORT NETWORKS AND ACCESS
AFFIRMING EDUCATIONAL AND
SUPPORT RESOURCES THAT THEIR
LOCAL ENVIRONMENTS MAY OFTEN
LACK. FOR KIDS WHOSE FAMILIES DO
NOT SUPPORT WHO THEY ARE, THE
BILL IS LIKELY TO HAVE
DEVASTATING UNINTENDED
CONSEQUENCES. IT WILL PREVENT
OLDER LGBTQ PLUS TEENS FROM
ACCESSING THE RESOURCES THEY
NEED DURING A PIVOTAL TIME IN
THEIR LIVES. A TIME WHEN THEY
NEED TO FEEL LIKE THEY BELONG
AND IT WILL PREVENT LGBTQ PLUS
KIDS WHO HAVE BEEN KICKED OUT OF
THEIR HOMES FROM FINDING SAFE
SPACES TO GET BACK ON THEIR
FEET. NO ONE IS QUESTIONING THE
AUTHOR'S GOOD INTENTIONS OR
DISAGREEING WITH THE UNDERLYING
PURPOSES OF THIS BILL. PARENTAL
INVOLVEMENT IN A CHILD'S ONLINE
EXPERIENCE IS IMPORTANT, AND
OFTEN ESSENTIAL, ESPECIALLY FOR
YOUNGER CHILDREN. HOWEVER
THERE'S A HUGE DIVERSITY IN
ONLINE PLATFORMS AND SERVICES
THAT YOUNG PEOPLE USE, AND
THERE'S NO ONE SIZE FITS ALL
APPROACH TO MAKING PLATFORMS
SAFER FOR KIDS. YET THAT'S
EXACTLY WHAT THIS BILL DOES. IT
APPLIES A ONE SIZE FITS ALL
APPROACH TO PARENTAL CONTROLS
FOR ALL PLATFORMS. OVER TWO
MONTHS AGO, EQUALITY CALIFORNIA
AND THE TREVOR PROJECT BEGAN
MEETING WITH SENATOR SKINNER AND
HER STAFF, AS WELL AS STAFF FROM
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE,
ABOUT A NUMBER OF CONCERNS WITH
THE BILL. SENATOR SKINNER HAS
BEEN A LONG TIME ALLY AND
CHAMPION OF THE LGBTQ PLUS
COMMUNITY, AND I KNOW THAT SHE
SOUGHT TO ADDRESS THEIR CONCERNS.
UNFORTUNATELY, THE AMENDMENTS
THAT WERE REQUESTED WERE NOT
MADE. SOME MANY OF THEM WERE NOT
MADE. AND EQUALITY CALIFORNIA
EXPRESSED THAT IT WAS CRITICALLY
IMPORTANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT
OLDER TEENS EXPERIENCE DIFFERENT
DEVELOPMENT DEVELOPMENTAL STAGES
THAN YOUNGER CHILDREN, AND
RESPECTING THEIR PRIVACY AND
AUTONOMY REQUIRES DIFFERENCES IN
DESIGN. EQUALITY CALIFORNIA
OFFERED AMENDMENTS CONSISTENT
WITH A SIMILAR BILL THAT
RECENTLY PASSED THE UNITED
STATES SENATE WITH OVERWHELMING
BIPARTISAN SUPPORT. THAT BILL
REQUIRED THAT PLATFORMS ALLOW
PARENTS TO CONTROL THE PRIVACY
AND ACCOUNT SETTINGS FOR YOUNGER
CHILDREN, MEANWHILE, ENSURING
THAT OLDER TEENS ARE EMPOWERED
TO MAKE THEIR OWN CHOICES ABOUT
THEIR ONLINE EXPERIENCE AND
GIVING THEM THE ABILITY TO
CONTROL CERTAIN PRIVACY AND
ACCOUNT SETTINGS THEMSELVES.
THAT APPROACH IS CONSISTENT WITH
LEADING EXPERTS IN THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION'S KIDS ONLINE
HEALTH AND SAFETY TASK FORCE,
WHICH RELEASED A REPORT JUST
LAST MONTH OUTLINING KEY
RECOMMENDATIONS TO PROMOTE
ONLINE HEALTH AND SAFETY FOR
YOUNG PEOPLE. COLLEAGUES, THE
BILL WE ARE VOTING ON TODAY IS
WELL INTENTIONED, BUT THE SCOPE
IS EXTREMELY BROAD. IT APPLIES
TO ALL SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS
FOR ALL MINORS UNDER 18, AND
PROVIDES NO ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF
YOUNG PEOPLE WHO MAY NOT HAVE
PARENTS WHO ARE DEVOTED IN THEIR
LIVES, OR ARE MORE OR EVEN MORE
CONCERNING. PARENTS WHO DON'T
SUPPORT THEIR ABILITY TO
DISCOVER AFFIRMING SPACES.
LASTLY, EARLIER TODAY, AS MY
COLLEAGUE JUST MENTIONED, I
SPOKE WITH THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL'S OFFICE AND SENATOR
SKINNER ABOUT THE BILL'S
DEFINITION OF ADDICTIVE FEED AND
REMAIN CONCERNED THAT THE BILL'S
OVERLY BROAD LANGUAGE RELATED TO
ALGORITHMIC CONTENT DELIVERY
WILL LIMIT THE ABILITY OF LGBTQ+
YOUNG PEOPLE TO DISCOVER
AFFIRMING ONLINE SPACES AND
EDUCATIONAL SOURCES. COLLEAGUES
I KNOW WE ARE ALL RIGHTLY WANT
TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO
PROTECT KIDS AND GIVE PARENTS
THE TOOLS THEY NEED TO BE
INVOLVED IN THEIR KIDS ONLINE
EXPERIENCE, AND I WANT THAT TO,
DURING MY TIME AT EQUALITY
CALIFORNIA, IT WAS ALWAYS A TOP
PRIORITY TO ENSURE THAT LGBTQ
YOUNG PEOPLE CONTINUE TO HAVE
ACCESS TO AFFIRMING ONLINE
SPACES. AND I KNOW THAT EQUALITY
CALIFORNIA'S POSITION IS IN LINE
WITH THE LONG STANDING POSITIONS
OF THE MAJOR LGBTQ ORGANIZATIONS
ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THIS BILL IS
OPPOSED BY A WIDE RANGE OF CIVIL
RIGHTS ORGANIZATIONS SERVING THE
LGBTQ PLUS COMMUNITY, INCLUDING
EQUALITY CALIFORNIA, ACLU, THE
SAN FRANCISCO SACRAMENTO LGBTQ
CENTER, NATIONAL CENTER FOR
LESBIAN RIGHTS, TRANS FAMILY
SUPPORT SERVICES, TRANS LATINA
COALITION, TRANS YOUTH
LIBERATION, AND THE TREVOR
PROJECT. SO WHILE I CERTAINLY
SHARE THE GOAL OF MAKING ONLINE
SPACES SAFER FOR YOUNG PEOPLE, I
APPRECIATE THE AUTHOR'S
DEDICATION TO THIS ISSUE. I'M
APPRECIATIVE AND WANT TO THANK
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL AND SENATOR
SKINNER. I ULTIMATELY CANNOT
SUPPORT THIS BILL TODAY BECAUSE
OF THE PROBLEMS WITH IT, BUT I
ALSO APPRECIATE THAT WITH THE
WITH THE SUGGESTED COMPROMISE
THAT THE ATTORNEY GENERAL HAS
SAID THAT PEOPLE THAT I
UNDERSTAND, THAT PEOPLE MAY WANT
TO TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT AS
THEY VOTE TODAY. SO WITH THAT, I
ASK FOR Ã. I THANK YOU FOR THE
ABILITY TO MAKE THESE COMMENTS.
THANK YOU, MR. ZUBIATE. MR.
MATHIS, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER. AND
MEMBERS, THIS IS A COMPLICATED
ISSUE, BUT I MEAN, WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT SOCIAL MEDIA AND OUR KIDS,
OUR KIDS. HOW MANY OF HIS
PARENTS HAVE GONE INTO OUR KIDS
BEDROOMS AT NIGHT AND THEY STILL
GOT THEIR PHONE ON BECAUSE THEY
FELL ASLEEP WITH THE STUFF ON.
SO THIS BILL HELPS TO STOP THAT.
WE'VE HAD OTHER LEGISLATION
TALKING ABOUT CELL PHONE USAGE
DURING SCHOOL HOURS. THIS BILL
ALSO HELPS TO ADDRESS THAT. WE
DO A LOT IN THIS BODY TO TRY TO
PROTECT CHILDREN AS A WHOLE.
THIS BILL Ã I UNDERSTAND THE
OPPOSITION. I UNDERSTAND THE
CONCERN TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE
ARE SAFE PLACES. THERE ARE
SPACES THAT KIDS NEED TO BE ABLE
TO GO TO CONNECT WITH OTHER KIDS
THAT ARE LIKE THEM. AND SOCIAL
MEDIA ALLOWS THAT. IT HAS
MULTIPLE PLATFORMS, PROBABLY
MORE THAN MOST OF US ALL REALIZE
THAT ARE OUT THERE. BUT TO HAVE
THAT SAFEGUARD, TO ACTUALLY HOLD
A LITTLE BIT OF RESPONSIBILITY
ON THE SECTOR AND SAY, HEY, YOU
GUYS KNOW THIS. LET'S THINK
ABOUT THE ADDICTING SIDE OF THIS.
THERE'S A REASON WHY A LOT OF
WHEN YOU GO AND YOU PLAY THE
SLOT MACHINES, WHY THEY LIGHT
UP, WHY THEY MAKE NOISES,
THERE'S A REASON WHY THOSE SAME
POP UP ADS USE THAT SAME
PSYCHOLOGICAL TECHNOLOGY TO REEL
US IN, TO GET US TO WANT TO TAP
THAT NEXT THING THAT'S ON OUR
PHONE, THAT NEXT AD THAT'S ON
OUR PHONE AFTER THAT NEXT SOCIAL
MEDIA VIDEO PLAYS, THAT AD POPS
UP AND IT GIVES THAT DOPAMINE
HIT TO OUR KIDS THAT MAKES THEM
WANT TO KEEP GOING AND TO KEEP
PLAYING. MEMBERS, I ASK YOU TO
THINK ABOUT YOUR KIDS. THINK
ABOUT YOUR GRANDKIDS. THINK
ABOUT THE KIND OF WORLD YOU WANT
THEM TO GROW UP IN. AND YES, TO
THE TO THE POINTS OF THE
OPPOSITION. YEAH, WE WANT TO
MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S A SAFE
SPACES FOR THEM, BUT WE ALSO
NEED TO LIMIT WHAT THEY'RE
CARRYING AROUND IN THEIR
POCKETS. WE NEED TO ELIMINATE
AND DO WHAT WE CAN TO SAFEGUARD
TO PUT THESE GUIDE RAILS ON.
SOMETHING THAT WE KNOW WE KNOW
GOOD AND WELL THAT THESE ARE
ADDICTIVE. WE DON'T WANT TO
ADMIT IT. WE DO THESE LITTLE
THINGS. WE TRACK HOW MUCH TIME
WE SPEND ON THESE DEVICES, HOW
MUCH TIME WE SPEND ON APPS. BUT
WHERE'S THE ACCOUNTABILITY AT?
THEY KNOW THEY HAVE AN ADDICTIVE
PRODUCT. BUT YET THEY CONTINUE
TO PUSH IT ON. OUR CHILDREN. SO
JUST AS WE'VE GONE AFTER
FLAVORED TOBACCO, AS WE'VE GONE
AFTER EVERYTHING ELSE, THIS IS
SOMETHING THAT WE CAN SAY, HEY,
LET'S PUT SOMETHING HERE IN
PLACE THAT WILL HELP DIAL IT
BACK JUST A LITTLE BIT. SO I
WANT TO THANK THE AUTHOR. I WANT
TO THANK EVERYBODY THAT HAS
WORKED ON THIS BILL TO REALLY
LOOK AND SEE WHAT WE CAN DO TO
HELP OUR CHILDREN OUT. AND WITH
THAT, MEMBERS, I ASK YOU FOR AN
AYE VOTE. THANK YOU. ASSEMBLY
MEMBER BAUER-KAHAN, WOULD YOU
LIKE TO CLOSE? YES. THANK YOU,
MR. SPEAKER. AND MEMBERS, I WANT
TO THANK MY COLLEAGUE FROM
ACROSS THE AISLE FOR SPEAKING IN
SUPPORT. I DO THINK THIS IS A
BIPARTISAN ISSUE. I THINK THAT
IT IS ONE OF THE THINGS REALLY,
NATIONALLY, EVEN IN WASHINGTON,
THAT OUR PARTIES AGREE ON, IS
THE NEED TO PROTECT OUR KIDS
FROM THESE ADDICTIVE FEATURES.
AND I PERSONALLY HAVE BEEN A
LONG TIME ALLY OF THE LGBTQ PLUS
COMMUNITY. MY SISTER, WHO IS
MARRIED TO A WOMAN, WHEN I WAS
WRITING THE BRIEFS IN THE GAY
MARRIAGE CASES, CALLED ME. SHE
SAID, I DON'T THINK THIS IS
ABOUT ME. I THINK THIS IS JUST
ABOUT CIVIL RIGHTS FOR LGBTQ
PLUS COMMUNITY. AND I SAID,
THAT'S RIGHT. AND I CONTINUE TO
BE SOMEONE WHO STANDS HERE AND
ADVOCATES EVERY DAY FOR LGBTQ
YOUTH AND OUR LGBTQ PLUS
COMMUNITY WRIT LARGE. AND THERE
IS NO QUESTION IN MY MIND THAT
EVERY YOUTH NEEDS TO BE
PROTECTED FROM THESE ADDICTIVE
FEATURES. AND YES, THEY NEED
ACCESS TO COMMUNITY. AND THIS
BILL DOES NOT STOP THAT, BUT
THAT THEY NEED THE PROTECTIONS
TO ENSURE THAT THEY ARE SAFE AND
SO, YOU KNOW, WE TRIED TO
ADDRESS THE CONCERNS OF OUR
COLLEAGUE BY SAYING WE WOULD
CONTINUE TO WORK ON IT. THAT
COMMITMENT WAS REAL. I KNOW THAT
THE AG MADE THAT COMMITMENT IN
GOOD FAITH. AND WITH THAT, I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN AYE
VOTE. AND WITH THAT, THE CLERK
WILL OPEN THE ROLL. ALL THOSE
VOTE WHO DESIRE TO VOTE. ALL
THOSE VÚI WHO DESIRE TO VOTE.
ALL THOSE VÚI WHO DESIRE TO VOTE.
ALL THOSE VOTE. WHO DESIRE TO
VOTE. ALL THOSE VÚI WHO DESIRE
TO VOTE. YES. ALL THOSE VOTE WHO

GOING TO LIFT THE CALL ON ONE
ITEM NUMBER 112 AB 1777. THE
CLERK WILL POST ALL THOSE VOTES

WHO DESIRE TO VOTE. 1937 ALL
THOSE VOTE WHO DESIRE TO VOTE.
ALL THOSE VOTES WHO DESIRE TO
VOTE. ALL MR. KING MOVES TO CALL.
MOVING TO FILE ITEM 83, SB 1390.
SENATOR CABALLERO BY MR.
AGUIAR-CURRY. THE CLERK WILL
READ THE SENATE BILL 1390 BY
SENATOR CABALLERO AND OTHERS. AN
ACT RELATING TO GROUNDWATER.
MEMBERS, YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE,
TO ASSEMBLY MEMBER AGUIAR-CURRY.
YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU,
MR. SPEAKER, AND MEMBERS, TODAY
I RISE TO PRESENT SB 1390 ON
BEHALF OF SENATOR CABALLERO.
THIS BILL BUILDS UPON THE
PROGRESS MADE IN THE PAST YEAR
TO ENABLE CALIFORNIA TO DIVERT
FOR FLOOD FLOWS TO GROUNDWATER
RECHARGE. AS WE ALL KNOW,
CALIFORNIA EXPERIENCES EXTREME
WEATHER CONDITIONS, INCLUDING
EXTREME DROUGHT THAT DEPLETES
GROUNDWATER RESOURCES AND
ATMOSPHERIC RIVERS THAT LEAD TO
EXTENSIVE FLOOD DAMAGE.
RECOGNIZING THE NEED FOR
ADDITIONAL TOOLS TO MANAGE
DESTRUCTIVE FLOOD FLOWS AND THE
NEED TO UTILIZE, PLEASE AND THE
NEED YOU NEED TO HAVE A
CONVERSATION, PLEASE TAKE IT OFF
THE FLOOR. GIVE YOU RESPECTFUL
ATTENTION TO THE MEMBERS WHO ARE
TRYING TO PRESENT THEIR BILLS
AND THE NEED TO UTILIZE EXCESS
WATER FOR THE LONG TERM HEALTH
OF GROUNDWATER BASINS. GOVERNOR
NEWSOM ISSUED AN EXECUTIVE ORDER
IN MARCH OF 2023, WHICH
AUTHORIZED WATER AGENCIES TO
DIVERT EXCESS FLOOD FLOWS FOR
GROUNDWATER RECHARGE WITHOUT THE
NEED TO OBTAIN A COSTLY AND TIME
CONSUMING PERMIT. AB 1390 BUILDS
ON THAT PROGRESS OF THE
EXECUTIVE ORDER BY ALLOWING
ADDITIONAL RECHARGE PROJECTS TO
BE COMPLETED IN A SAFE AND
RESPONSIBLE MANNER. TO MOVE
CALIFORNIA TOWARDS A MORE
SUSTAINABLE WATER FUTURE. RECENT
AMENDMENTS PROVIDE CLARIFYING
LANGUAGE TO PROTECT THE
OPERATIONS OF THE STATE WATER
PROJECT AND THE CENTRAL VALLEY
PROJECT, WHILE FINDING A BALANCE
NECESSARY TO ALLOW FOR
GROUNDWATER RECHARGE. AS WE
KNOW, WATER IS COMPLICATED AND
THERE WILL NEVER BE ONE PERFECT
SOLUTION. THE AUTHOR REMAINS
COMMITTED TO WORKING WITH
STAKEHOLDERS GOING FORWARD TO
ENSURE THAT THE INTENT OF THE
BILL IS FULLY REALIZED. FOR ALL
PARTIES. AS CALIFORNIA FACES
MORE EXTREME WEATHER EVENTS, WE
HAVE TO MAXIMIZE THE TOOLS WE
HAVE AVAILABLE TO ENSURE A
SUSTAINABLE WATER FUTURE. WE
NEED TO REPLENISH OUR AQUIFERS,
AND WE NEED TO PREVENT FLOODING.
THE BILL BEFORE YOU TODAY DOES
BOTH. I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
YOUR AYE VOTE AND REQUEST
IMMEDIATE TRANSMITTAL TO THE
SENATE. THANK YOU SO
AGUIAR-CURRY MR. MATHIS, YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. MR. SPEAKER.
MEMBERS, I WANT TO THANK THE
AUTHOR FOR HER EFFORTS IN THIS
BILL. BUT IT'S NOT DONE YET.
THERE'S STILL A LOT OF WORK TO
BE DONE. LAST YEAR WE WENT FROM
RECORD RAINFALL FLOODS. MY
DISTRICT FLOODED OUT THE GREAT
TULE LAKE OF THE SOUTHERN SAN
JOAQUIN VALLEY, CAME BACK. IN
SOME OF THE THINGS IN THIS BILL
COULD MESS UP, HOW WE DIVERTED
SOME OF THAT WATER, HOW WE
PROTECTED HOMES FROM GETTING
FLOODED. SO I HAVE SOME GREAT
CONCERNS OF WHAT'S HAPPENING
WITH THE LANGUAGE OF THIS BILL.
THE FLOODS THAT WE HAD WERE SO
BAD I HAD TO WORK THE PHONES AND
CALLING HELICOPTERS TO HELP
EVACUATE PEOPLE FROM SOME OF OUR
NATIVE TRIBES UP ON THE TULE
RESERVATION. SO I DON'T STAND
HERE JUST TO TALK ON THIS. I
STAND HERE BECAUSE I'M TRULY
CONCERNED ABOUT MY DISTRICT AND
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN IT FLOODS. WE
ALSO HAVE ANOTHER PROBLEM IN MY
DISTRICT THAT I'VE TALKED QUITE
A BIT ON OVER THE LAST TEN YEARS
ABOUT DROUGHTS AND ABOUT THE
LOSS OF WATER AND HOW WE NEED TO
CAPTURE THAT AND STORE IT. WE'RE
GOING AFTER THE RIGHT THING
HERE, BUT THIS ISN'T FULLY DONE,
BECAUSE THE LAST THING WE NEED
TO DO IN A FLOOD YEAR IS NOT
HAVE THE ABILITY TO MOVE THE
WATER IN THE RIGHT WAY TO
PROTECT HOMES FROM BEING FLOODED
OUT. IN MY HOME TOWN, WE HAD TO
DO DIVERSIONS TO PROTECT A
HOSPITAL, TO PROTECT EVERYTHING.
WE HAD TO GO IN AND DO THAT. AND
I AM CONCERNED THAT WITH THIS
BILL, WE WON'T BE ABLE TO DO
THOSE THINGS. I DON'T KNOW HOW
MANY OF YOU HAVE EVER HAD A
FLOOD OR EXPERIENCED A FLOOD AND
BEEN ACTUALLY ON THE GROUND TO
MOVE THE DIRT IN THOSE SPLIT
SECOND DECISIONS THAT HAVE TO BE
MADE? REMEMBERS, I HAD TO GET A
HOLD OF THE HIGH SPEED RAIL
AUTHORITY TO GET DIRT MOVED, SO
WE HAD AN EGRESS ROUTE SO WE
COULD GET HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE
SAFELY AND HAVE SPACE TO GET OUT
OF ALPAUGH YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW
HARD THAT IS TO GET A HOLD OF
HIGH SPEED RAIL AND ASK THEM FOR
SOMETHING THAT'S THEIR PROPERTY,
AND TO DIVERT THINGS AROUND?
THANKFULLY, I HAVE A
RELATIONSHIP WITH THE SECRETARY
AND WE WERE ABLE TO DO THAT, BUT
IT TOOK US HOURS. SO WHEN WE
HAVE LEGISLATION THAT COULD TIE
US UP, THAT COULD TIE OUR HANDS
WHEN WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO ACT,
WHEN WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO MOVE
DURING A FLOOD SITUATION THAT
CAUSES CONCERN. I WOULD NEVER
ASK ANY OF YOU TO VOTE ON
SOMETHING THAT COULD POTENTIALLY
HARM YOUR HOMES, YOUR
NEIGHBORHOODS, YOUR FRIENDS, AND
YOUR NEIGHBORS IN A FLOOD EVENT.
SO LET'S TAKE A PAUSE HERE AND
LET'S WE CAN ALWAYS COME BACK ON
THIS. WE CAN ALWAYS COME BACK.
WE CAN LOOK, WE CAN GET THIS
BETTER. BUT WHEN WE HAVE THESE
FLOOD AND DROUGHT YEARS, YES, WE
DO NEED TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THE
TOOLS. AND I KNOW THE AUTHOR IS
HEADED IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION
WITH THIS, BUT THIS ONE'S NOT
FULLY COOKED. I ASK YOU TO LAY
OFF. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR.
MATHIS. MISS AGUIAR-CURRY, WOULD
YOU LIKE TO CLOSE? SEEING AND

AS CALIFORNIA TRANSITIONS TO
ZERO EMISSION VEHICLES, WE HAVE
TO ASK THE QUESTION, WHAT DO WE
DO WITH ALL THOSE EV BATTERIES?
WE ARE STARTING TO SEE SOME
DEVELOPMENT IN THE MARKET AND
INFRASTRUCTURE DESIGNED TO
RECYCLE EV BATTERIES. BUT WE ARE
NOWHERE CLOSE TO HAVING ENOUGH
INFRASTRUCTURE TO DEAL WITH THIS
GROWING ISSUE. SB 615 WOULD
CREATE A COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM
UNDER DTSC TO ENSURE ALL EV
TRACTION BATTERIES ARE PROPERLY
HANDLED AND EVENTUALLY RECYCLED
BY QUALIFIED RECYCLERS. AT THE
END OF THEIR USEFUL LIFE. AUTO
DISMANTLERS AND SECRETARY USERS,
LIKE PEOPLE WHO REPURPOSE
BATTERIES FOR STORAGE, WOULD BE
REQUIRED TO ENSURE THAT THE
BATTERY IS RECYCLED AT THE END
OF ITS USEFUL LIFE. SB 615 WOULD
ALSO ENSURE THAT BATTERY
SUPPLIERS, THE VEHICLE
MANUFACTURERS AND THE BATTERY
PRODUCERS ARE THE ONES WHO ARE
ULTIMATELY HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR
THEIR BATTERIES. THIS WILL NOT
ONLY MAKE MANUFACTURING NEW
BATTERIES MORE EFFICIENT, BUT
WILL ALSO SUPPORT THE GROWTH OF
DOMESTIC GREEN JOBS. THE AUTHOR
HAS WORKED EXTENSIVELY WITH
STAKEHOLDERS REPRESENTING ALL
ENTITIES WHO MAY HANDLE THESE
BATTERIES DURING THEIR LIFE
CYCLE TO ENSURE THE PROGRAM IS
CRAFTED AND WILL BE FEASIBLE. IT
IS WORTH NOTING THAT ALL
STAKEHOLDERS AGREED WE SHOULD BE
RECYCLING EV BATTERIES. OUR
RECENT AFTER RECENT AMENDMENTS.
THERE IS NOW NO OPPOSITION TO
THE BILL AND IT IS NOW SUPPORTED
BY ENVIRONMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS,
VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS, LABOR AND
RECYCLERS. I THANK YOU VERY MUCH
AND I ASK YOU FOR YOUR AYE VOTE.

THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER. I
PRESENT THIS BILL ON BEHALF OF
SENATOR STERN. THIS IS A FOLLOW
UP FROM HIS BILL TWO YEARS AGO,
WHICH DEALT WITH INDIVIDUALS
ARRESTED WITH MISDEMEANORS WHO
WERE DECLARED INCOMPETENT TO
STAND TRIAL AND FORTUNATELY,
THERE WAS A LOOPHOLE. AND
INDIVIDUALS WERE RELEASED
WITHOUT EVER GETTING THE
TREATMENT THAT THEY DESPERATELY
NEEDED. SO WE REFORMED A LOT OF
LAWS IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS
WITH CONSERVATORSHIPS AND, AND
SB 43, AND THIS IS ANOTHER PART
OF THAT EFFORT TO MAKE SURE WE
HELP PEOPLE WHO DON'T SLIP
THROUGH THE CRACKS END UP GOING
FROM INCARCERATION RIGHT BACK TO
OUR STREETS AND GET THE NEEDED
TREATMENT THAT THEY DESERVE.
THIS WAS A LOT OF WORK. WE THE
CENTER, WANT ME TO ACKNOWLEDGE

1208 ON BEHALF OF SENATOR
PADILLA. THIS BILL, AS AMENDED
BY OUR ESTEEMED COLLEAGUE FROM
COACHELLA AND CHAIR OF ASTM,
REQUIRES ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW OF
ANY NEW LANDFILL IN THE TIJUANA
RIVER WATERSHED BY THE REGIONAL
WATER BOARD AND THE CAL EPA
SECRETARY. IN THE FINE PRINT OF
BALLOT MEASURE 15 YEARS AGO,
PROPER ENVIRONMENTAL
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW WAS
REMOVED, AND TO BE CLEAR, NO
OTHER LANDFILL IN THE STATE IN
ANY OF YOUR DISTRICTS HAVE NOT
UNDERGONE SUFFICIENT
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW. SB 1208
SIMPLY ADDS BACK IN THOSE
SAFEGUARDS. A RECENT STUDY SHOWS
THAT IN SAN DIEGO, WE HAVE
EXISTING LANDFILL CAPACITY FOR
AT LEAST THE NEXT 30 YEARS. SO
IN THE FUTURE, IF A LANDFILL IS
NECESSARY, THIS BALANCES ANY
POTENTIAL FUTURE NEED FOR
LANDFILL WITH PROTECTING OUR SAN
DIEGO, SOUTH BAY AND COASTAL
COMMUNITIES. MOST OF YOU AT SOME
POINT HAVE VOTED ON BILLS,
BUDGETS OR BONDS. THAT INCLUDES
CLEANUP FOR ONE OF THE MOST
COMPLICATED AND POLLUTED
WATERSHEDS IN THE UNITED STATES.
SB 1208 IS ANOTHER STEP IN
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE AND
PROTECTION FOR THIS COMPLICATED
AND POLLUTED WATERSHED. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR AYE
VOTE ON SB 1208. THANK YOU SO,
MEMBER BERNER, SOME MEMBER
ALVAREZ, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER. I RISE
IN RESPECTFUL OPPOSITION TO
SENATE BILL 1208. I OFFERED A
REASONABLE AMENDMENT TO THE
BILL, WHICH WAS UNFORTUNATELY
REJECTED. AND NOW I HAVE NO
CHOICE BUT TO RISE IN OPPOSITION.
I REPRESENT THE SAN DIEGO
COMMUNITY IN THE TIJUANA RIVER
VALLEY. I'VE BEEN WORKING ON
CROSS BORDER WATER AND AIR
POLLUTION CRISIS IN THE TIJUANA
RIVER VALLEY FOR OVER 15 YEARS,
AND I HAVE STRONGLY SUPPORTED
AND ADVOCATED FOR LOCAL, STATE
AND FEDERAL ACTION TO CLEAN UP
THE AIR AND THE WATER FOR MY
SOUTH COUNTY RESIDENTS. THE
SOURCE OF THE CROSS-BORDER
POLLUTION PROBLEM IS ENTIRELY
SOUTH OF THE BORDER. THE LACK OF
ADEQUATE SEWAGE TREATMENTS IN
THE GROWING CITY OF TIJUANA HAS
ALWAYS BEEN THE CAUSE OF THE
POLLUTION PROBLEMS IN THE RIVER
VALLEY. I ALSO REPRESENT THE SAN
DIEGO COMMUNITY OF OTAY MESA,
WHERE FOR OVER A DECADE THERE
HAS BEEN A PROPOSAL FOR A NEW
LANDFILL LOCATED NEAR THE
DONOVAN STATE PRISON AND A POWER
PLANT. WHILE THE LOCATION OF THE
PROPOSED LANDFILL IS TECHNICALLY
ON THE NORTHERN EDGE OF THE EDGE
OF THE TIJUANA RIVER WATERSHED,
THERE IS NOT A SINGLE STUDY THAT
SHOWS THAT ANY CURRENT OR
PROPOSED USE IN OTAY MESA HAS
ANY EFFECT AT ALL ON THE
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY OF THE
TIJUANA RIVER VALLEY. SIMPLY
PUT, THE PROPOSED LANDFILL AND
THE TIJUANA RIVER VALLEY HAVE
NOTHING TO DO WITH ONE ANOTHER.
HOWEVER, I DO SHARE THE AUTHOR'S
BELIEF THAT GIVEN THE DEGRADED
CONDITION OF THE TIJUANA RIVER
VALLEY, WE SHOULD DO EVERYTHING
IN OUR POWER TO ENSURE THAT NO
FUTURE PROJECT HARMS ITS WATER
QUALITY. THE AGENCY IN SAN DIEGO
THAT ENFORCES OUR STATE AND
FEDERAL LAWS ABOUT WATER QUALITY
IS A SAN DIEGO REGIONAL WATER
QUALITY CONTROL BOARD, HEADED BY
THEIR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, DAVID
GIBSON. THAT IS WHY MY
AMENDMENTS WOULD HAVE PUT THEM
IN CHARGE OF DETERMINING WHETHER
THE PROPOSED LANDFILL WOULD
PROTECT WATER QUALITY IN FULL
ACCORD WITH ALL LAWS AND
REGULATIONS. I STRONGLY DISAGREE
WITH THE AUTHOR THAT ANY OTHER
AGENCY SHOULD BE ADDED TO MAKE
THE DETERMINATION ABOUT WHETHER
THE PROPOSED LANDFILL SHOULD
RECEIVE THEIR DISCHARGE PERMITS
IN ORDER TO OPERATE. NOT ONLY IS
THE SAN DIEGO REGIONAL WATER
QUALITY CONTROL BOARD, THE STATE
AGENCY THAT IS SUPPOSED TO MAKE
THESE DECISIONS, BUT EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR OFFICER EXCUSE ME,
DAVID GIBSON IS QUITE POSSIBLY
THE MOST QUALIFIED PERSON IN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO HEAD THIS
EFFORT. DAVE GIBSON'S
CREDIBILITY ON THE TIJUANA RIVER
VALLEY POLLUTION ISSUE IS
UNMATCHED, EVEN BY ME OR ANYBODY
ELSE. HE'S BEEN WORKING ON THIS
FOR OVER TWO DECADES RIGHT NOW.
DAVE GIBSON COULD TAKE ALL OF US
ON A TOUR OF THE RIVER VALLEY
AND NOT ONLY EXPLAIN IN DETAIL
ITS HYDROLOGY, BIOCHEMISTRY AND
ECOLOGY, BUT HE COULD INTRODUCE
YOU TO EVERY RANCH OWNER AND
RESIDENT IN THE VALLEY AND ALL
OF THE STAKEHOLDERS LIKE THE
TIJUANA RIVER VALLEY EQUESTRIAN
ASSOCIATION AND THE AUDUBON
SOCIETY. IN FACT, FUN FACT
TIJUANA RIVER VALLEY IS ONE OF
THE GREATEST PLACE TO GO BIRD
WATCHING AND THE ONLY PLACE, I
THINK, IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA IN SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA, FOR SURE, WHERE YOU
CAN RIDE A HORSE ON THE BEACH
AND DAVE GIBSON KNOWS ALL OF THE
STAKEHOLDERS WELL. HIS
SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE, HIS
KNOWLEDGE OF THE RELEVANT LAWS
AND REGULATIONS, AND HIS
EXTENSIVE HISTORY OF WORKING ON
THIS ISSUE ALL MAKE HIM THE
SINGLE BEST PERSON, MOST
QUALIFIED TO LEAD THE EFFORT. ON
EVALUATING WHETHER THE POTENTIAL
PROJECT HAS AN IMPACT ON WATER
QUALITY IN THE TIJUANA RIVER
VALLEY. THE AUTHOR HAS TOLD ME
THAT HE DOES NOT TRUST THE SAN
DIEGO REGIONAL WATER QUALITY
CONTROL BOARD TO PERFORM THESE
DUTIES. THIS CONTENTION IS BOTH
PLAIN WRONG AND FRANKLY
OFFENSIVE. DAVE GIBSON AND ALL
OF THE STAFF AT THE SAN DIEGO
REGIONAL WATER QUALITY CONTROL
BOARD ARE HONORABLE PUBLIC
SERVANTS WHO HAVE FAITHFULLY
SERVED THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
THEY DESERVE OUR RESPECT AND OUR
TRUST THAT THEY WILL PROTECT THE
WATER QUALITY OF TIJUANA RIVER
VALLEY. AND I STILL BELIEVE THAT
THEY WILL. THAT IS WHY I URGE
YOU TO VOTE NO ON THIS BILL
TODAY. WE CAN ALWAYS COME BACK
NEXT SESSION AND PASS A BILL
THAT PUTS THE RIGHT PEOPLE IN
CHARGE OF PROTECTING THE RIVER
VALLEY AND ITS WATER QUALITY.
BUT I URGE YOU TO OPPOSE THIS
BILL TODAY. COLLEAGUES, TODAY I
GOT A CALL FROM SOMEONE WHO I
INTRODUCED TO ALL OF YOU NOT
LONG AGO. DON MIGUEL RUIZ AND
HIS BOOK IS THE FOUR AGREEMENTS.
THERE ARE FOUR PRINCIPLES, AND
TWO OF THEM I WANT TO SHARE WITH
YOU TODAY. ONE IS HE ONE OF THE
FOUR AGREEMENTS SAYS IS ALWAYS
DO YOUR BEST AND I WILL ALWAYS
DO MY BEST WORK WITH YOU. EACH
ONE OF YOU. THAT IS WHY I ALWAYS
TRY TO GET YES ON YOUR TO YES ON
YOUR BILLS. I TRIED MY BEST HERE
WITH THE AMENDMENT I OFFERED AND
I WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL. I'M ALSO
THANKFUL FOR THE MANY MOMENTS OF
JOY THAT I HAVE. YOUR TIME HAS
EXPIRED. MAY I PLEASE? YOUR TIME
HAS EXPIRED. OTHER SPEAKERS.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE THIS
BURNER? RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
YOUR VOTE. CLERK. WILL OPEN THE
ROLL. ALL THOSE VOTE WHO DESIRE
TO VOTE. ALL THOSE VOTE WHO
DESIRE TO VOTE. ALL THOSE VOTE
WHO DESIRE TO VOTE. ALL THOSE

ALL THOSE VOTE WHO DESIRE TO

A CALL WE'RE NOW MOVING TO FILE
ITEM 73. SB 1420. SENATOR
CABALLERO BY ASSEMBLY MEMBER
PETRIE-NORRIS. CLERK. READ A
SENATE BILL 1420 BY SENATOR
CABALLERO AND OTHERS. AN ACT
RELATING TO ENERGY. MR.
PETRIE-NORRIS YOU'RE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER. MEMBERS
I RISE TO PRESENT SB 1420 ON
BEHALF OF SENATOR CABALLERO, A
MEASURE THAT WILL ADVANCE
CALIFORNIA'S COMMITMENT TO CLEAN
ENERGY AND SUPPORT THE STATE'S
AMBITIOUS, CLEAN HYDROGEN GOALS.
SB 1420 WILL CREATE A CLEAR PATH
FOR A SUSTAINABLE TRANSITION TO
A CLEAN ENERGY ECONOMY BY
DELIVERING BENEFITS SUCH AS
IMPROVED AIR QUALITY, REDUCED
ENERGY COSTS FOR CONSUMERS AND
THE CREATION OF HIGH QUALITY
GREEN ENERGY JOBS. IN ITS 2022
SCOPING PLAN, THE CALIFORNIA AIR
RESOURCES BOARD DETERMINED THAT
CALIFORNIA WILL BE UNABLE TO
ACHIEVE OUR CARBON NEUTRALITY
GOALS WITHOUT GREATLY EXPANDING
THE PRODUCTION AND USE OF
HYDROGEN. THE SCOPING PLAN
SUGGESTS THAT THE TRANSITION TO
CARBON NEUTRALITY INCLUDES
ADDING APPROXIMATELY 1700 TIMES
THE AMOUNT OF THE 2022 HYDROGEN
SUPPLY. SB 1420 WILL EXPEDITE
PERMITTING AND LITIGATION FOR
SPECIFIC STATE AND FEDERALLY
FUNDED HYDROGEN PROJECTS THAT
ARE IN LINE WITH CALIFORNIA'S
STRONG ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS. IT
SHOULD BE NOTED THAT HYDROGEN
PRODUCTION PROJECTS THAT UTILIZE
FOSSIL FUEL AS A FEEDSTOCK ARE
NOT ELIGIBLE FOR EXPEDITED
PERMITTING UNDER THIS MEASURE.
THIS BILL SPECIFIES THAT THE
ONLY ELIGIBLE HYDROGEN
FACILITIES ARE THOSE THAT
RECEIVE FUNDING FROM THREE
SOURCES. FIRST, CALIFORNIA'S
HYDROGEN HUB, THE ARCHES, THE
ALLIANCE FOR RENEWABLE CLEAN
HYDROGEN ENERGY SYSTEMS, THE
STATE FUNDED HYDROGEN PROGRAM
ADMINISTERED BY THE CEC. AND
THIRD, THE 2024 CLIMATE BOND,
WHICH IS SUBJECT TO NON
COMBUSTION BIOMASS UTILIZATION.
I JUST WANT TO BE VERY CLEAR AND
EMPHASIZE THAT THE BILL DOES NOT
ALLOW A PROJECT TO PROCEED
OUTSIDE OF THE CEQA PROCESS, NOR
DOES IT HAVE ANY IMPACT ON THE
PUBLIC'S ABILITY TO PROVIDE
COMMENT AND INPUT ON A PROJECT.
SB 1420 WILL ENABLE CALIFORNIA
TO LEVERAGE 1.1. $2 BILLION IN
FEDERAL FUNDING THAT HAS BEEN
AWARDED TO ARCHES TO
CALIFORNIA'S HYDROGEN HUB AND
UNLOCK PRIVATE SECTOR INVESTMENT,
WHICH IS ESTIMATED TO BRING AN
ADDITIONAL $10 BILLION OR MORE
INTO OUR STATE, ALL WHILE
CREATING HUNDREDS OF JOBS IN
UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES AND
REDUCING EMISSIONS ACROSS THE
STATE. RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN
AYE VOTE AND FOR IMMEDIATE
TRANSMITTAL. TRANSMITTAL TO THE
SENATE FLOOR. THANK YOU, MR.
MATHIS. YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
LOOK, MEMBERS, I'LL BE QUICK ON
THIS ONE. HYDROGEN IS WHERE WE

DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES TO
DEVELOP A METHODOLOGY FOR
DETERMINING THE STATE'S CALFRESH
PARTICIPATION RATE AND
IDENTIFYING CHARACTERISTICS OF
RESIDENTS WHO ARE ELIGIBLE BUT
NOT RECEIVING BENEFITS. AB 518
SETS IN MOTION A PROCESS THAT

APOLOGIES, MR. LEE. MR. LEE, YOU
ARE RECOGNIZED. YEAH, I KNOW, I
KNOW. MY APOLOGIES. IT'S OKAY.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR.
SPEAKER. WHILE I APPRECIATE THE
INTENT OF THIS BILL TO INCREASE
THE AMOUNT OF ENROLLMENT
ENROLLEES IN THE CALFRESH
PROGRAM, I HAVE TO RESPECTFULLY
RISE IN OPPOSITION TO THE BILL.
WHILE I SUPPORT THE EFFORT TO
INCREASE PARTICIPATION AND
MAXIMIZE FEDERAL DOLLARS FOR
CALFRESH, AS THE HUMAN SERVICES
COMMITTEE CHAIR, I HAVE
CONCERNED WITH THIS BILL IN
PRINT. THE BILL WAS NEVER HEARD
BY A POLICY COMMITTEE IN THIS
HOUSE. THE BILL DOES NOT INCLUDE
CAL FRESH'S COMPANION PROGRAM,
CALIFORNIA FOOD ASSISTANCE
PROGRAM, AND WE SHOULD ALSO BE
CONSIDERING HOW TO MAXIMIZE FOOD
ACCESS TO OUR IMPORTANT
IMMIGRANT POPULATION. MOST
IMPORTANTLY, THIS BILL ALLOWS
DATA SHARING WITHOUT CONSENT OR
OPT OUT OPTION AS AND IT IS FAR
TOO BROAD. I'M DEEPLY CONCERNED
HOW THIS WILL IMPACT LOW INCOME
INDIVIDUALS. IT ALLOWS FOR THE
SHARING OF HEALTH INFORMATION,
UTILITY BILLS, JUVENILE RECORDS
AND CHILDREN'S INFORMATION
WITHOUT ANY GUARDRAILS. THIS
POPULATION DESERVES THE SAME
PRIVACY AS EVERYONE IN THIS
ROOM. THERE SHOULD NOT BE
DIFFERENT STANDARDS FOR THOSE
WHO ARE TRYING TO ACCESS FOOD. I
BELIEVE THE INTENT MIGHT NOT
HAVE BEEN TO COMPROMISE PRIVACY
RIGHTS OF LOW INCOME PEOPLE AND
TO EXCLUDE CFAP. HOWEVER GIVEN
THAT THIS BILL WAS A LATE GUT
AMEND THIS WEEK, THERE'S SIMPLY
NOT ENOUGH TIME TO FIX IT. THIS
BILL SHOULD BE REINTRODUCED IN
JANUARY, WHERE WE CAN FULLY VET
IT AND ENSURE THAT OUR LOW
INCOME POPULATION IS PROTECTED.
MEMBERS, I JUST WANT TO
REITERATE THAT THIS BILL DOES
NOT HAVE RESTRICTIONS ON WHAT
CAN BE DONE WITH THE DATA AND
THERE'S NO REQUIREMENT TO KEEP
THIS INFORMATION CONFIDENTIAL.
WHILE I RESPECT THE AUTHOR AND
THE INTENT, AND I REALLY DO
APPRECIATE THE INTENT, IT
DEFINITELY SHOULD GO THROUGH THE
POLICY PROCESS OF PRIVACY AND
HUMAN SERVICES. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU, MR. LEE. MR. SALLY, YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MR.
SPEAKER. I ALSO RISE IN
OPPOSITION TO THIS BILL. I AGREE
WITH MY COLLEAGUE ON THE OTHER
SIDE THAT THIS SHOULD HAVE GONE
THROUGH REGULAR ORDER AND GONE
THROUGH THE HEALTH AND SERVICES
COMMITTEE FOR PROPER VETTING. I
THINK THIS IS A GOOD EXERCISE
EXAMPLE OF WHY BILLS SHOULD NOT
BE RUSHED THROUGH OUR PROCESS.
WE NEED TO TAKE THE TIME TO
DELIBERATE AND MAKE THOUGHTFUL
CONSIDERATION, BECAUSE THESE
BILLS CAN HAVE UNINTENDED
CONSEQUENCES. AS WE'RE SEEING
HERE. WHILE I DO APPRECIATE THE
INTENT TO PROVIDE GREATER ACCESS
TO CALFRESH, I TOO HAVE GRAVE
CONCERNS ABOUT THE PRIVACY
INTEREST OF CALIFORNIANS. THIS
BILL SUSPENDS ALL PRIVACY LAWS
AND REGULATIONS TO ALLOW THE
SHARING OF INFORMATION BETWEEN
GOVERNMENT AGENCIES. WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT HEALTH INFORMATION,
IMMIGRATION INFORMATION,
EDUCATION RECORDS, EMPLOYMENT
RECORDS, TAX RECORDS, UTILITY
INFORMATION, JUVENILE
INFORMATION. THERE IS NO
RESTRICTION ON THE CATEGORY,
CLASS OR TYPE OF INFORMATION
THAT CAN BE SHARED BETWEEN
GOVERNMENT AGENCIES. I THINK WE
SHOULD REALLY TREAD CAREFULLY
AND BRING THIS BILL BACK NEXT
YEAR AND TAKE IT THROUGH REGULAR
ORDER, AS WE FRANKLY SHOULD DO
WITH ALL BILLS. SO FOR THAT, I
RESPECTFULLY OPPOSE THE BILL.
THANK YOU. MR. SPEAKER. THANK
YOU, MR. SALLY. ASSEMBLY MEMBER
WIX THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER.
MEMBERS, I APPRECIATE THE
CONCERNS RAISED. I'VE SPOKEN TO
OUR CHAIR OF THE HUMAN SERVICES
COMMITTEE, AS WELL AS OUR CHAIR
OF THE PRIVACY COMMITTEE. THIS
DID GO THROUGH POLICY COMMITTEE
IN THE SENATE. WE ARE COMMITTED
TO WORKING WITH THE GOVERNOR'S
OFFICE ON A FIX IN JANUARY. THAT
WOULD BE URGENCY CLAUSE TO FIX
SOME OF THE PRIVACY CONCERNS,
WHICH I THINK ARE VERY DOABLE.
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN AYE
VOTE. THANK YOU. ASSEMBLY MEMBER
WIX. AND WITH THAT, THE CLERK
WILL OPEN THE ROLL. THOSE VOTES
WHO DESIRE TO VOTE. ALL THOSE
VOTES WHO DESIRE TO VOTE. ALL
THOSE VOTES WHO DESIRE TO VOTE.

ASSEMBLY MEMBER HANEY AND
OTHERS, AN ACCOLADE TO HOUSING.
MR. HANEY, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER. AB 3068
IS BACK FOR CONCURRENCE. THIS
BILL WILL JUMPSTART THESE OFFICE
TO HOUSING CONVERSIONS, HELPING
TO REVITALIZE OUR DOWNTOWNS.
IT'S A HUGELY IMPORTANT BILL FOR
MY CITY AND CITIES ACROSS THE
STATE. WE ALSO HAVE LABOR
STANDARDS IN THE BILL THAT HAVE
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CARPENTERS
AND THE TRADES. THEY'VE COME
TOGETHER AND AGREED ON LABOR
STANDARDS. IT'S A HUGE WIN.
THESE LABOR STANDARDS ARE JUST
FOR THE CONVERSIONS. AND WE'VE
ALSO CLARIFIED IN THE BILL THAT
FOR ALL OTHER ADJACENT
PROPERTIES THAT PREVIOUS LABOR
STANDARDS WILL CONTINUE TO
APPLY. I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT.
THIS IS A HUGELY IMPORTANT BILL
FOR OUR CITIES, FOR OUR STATE TO
BRING MORE HOUSING AND ALSO
REVITALIZE OUR DOWNTOWN AND
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR AYE
VOTE. THANK YOU, MR. HANEY. MR.
WARD, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. THANK
YOU, MR. SPEAKER. I RISE AND
DEEPLY RESPECTFUL OPPOSITION TO
THE CONCURRENCE IN THE SENATE
AMENDMENTS. WE WORKED REALLY
HARD. THERE'S NOBODY IN THIS
ROOM THAT'S BEEN WORKING HARDER
ON THIS ISSUE BECAUSE OF WHAT'S
HAPPENING IN DOWNTOWN SAN
FRANCISCO, TO BE ABLE TO TRY OUR
BEST, TO BE ABLE TO CHANGE SOME
OF THE STANDARDS, TO BE ABLE TO
SUPPORT MORE RESIDENTIAL
DEVELOPMENT AND THE CONVERSION
THAT WE DO NEED TO SEE IN OUR
DOWNTOWN REVITALIZATIONS. WE
WORKED REALLY HARD WITH THE
AUTHOR IN THE SPRINGTIME, OUR
COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND OUR
COMMITTEE STAFF TO BE ABLE TO
FIND SOMETHING THAT WAS BOTH
WORKABLE FOR THIS FORMAT, AS
WELL AS CONSISTENT WITH WHAT
WE'VE HAD IN YOU ALL KNOW THOSE
VERY TRICKY NEGOTIATIONS WHEN WE
THINK ABOUT NOT JUST LABOR
STANDARDS, BUT THE BALANCE OF
STATE AND LOCAL RESPONSIBILITIES,
ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY WITH OUR
HAUSERS AND REGRETTABLY, SOME OF
THE AMENDMENTS THAT WE ARE ON
THE FLOOR DEBATING HERE TODAY
THAT WERE TAKEN UP IN THE SENATE
HAVE REALLY MOVED SOME OF THE
DYNAMICS OF THOSE THOSE BALANCE
CONSIDERATIONS IN A WAY THAT I
WORRY IS INFEASIBLE. WE DO NOT
HAVE THE TIME, OF COURSE, TO
BRING THIS BACK INTO COMMITTEE,
AND I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO HAVE
BEEN ABLE TO HAVE THAT HERE, AS
WE OFTEN DO WHEN SOMETHING COMES
BACK TO THIS HOUSE, BUT WE BUT
BUT I WOULD RESPECTFULLY OPPOSE
THESE BECAUSE EVEN IF YOU'RE
LOOKING AT SOME OF THE NOTES
HERE TODAY, THE ORIGINAL SPONSOR
OF THIS BILL, YIMBY ACTION, HAS
NOW COME OUT IN AN OPPOSED
POSITION. MANY OF OUR HAUSERS
THAT WORK HARD ON THESE ISSUES
ARE, REGRETTABLY, ALSO IN
OPPOSITION. I DO WANT TO
CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE AUTHOR
ON THIS, AND I WILL, BUT FOR
TODAY, I WOULD RESPECTFULLY
REQUEST A NO VOTE ON CONCURRENCE
AND SENATE AMENDMENTS. THANK
YOU, MR. WARD. MISS WICKS, YOU
ARE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MR.
SPEAKER. I JUST WANT TO ALIGN MY
COMMENTS WITH THE CHAIR. OUR
CHAIR OF HOUSING, WITH GREAT
RESPECT TO THE AUTHOR, I SHARE
THOSE CONCERNS AS WELL. WE'VE
HAD MANY CONVERSATIONS AROUND
FEASIBILITY OF LABOR STANDARDS
AND WHAT THOSE COULD MEAN. I
WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THIS BILL
COME BACK AND WORK WITH THE
AUTHOR AROUND WHAT THOSE COULD
LOOK LIKE, BUT FOR TODAY, I'LL
BE VOTING NO ON THE BILL AND
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR A NO VOTE.
THANK YOU. SEEING AND HEARING NO
FURTHER DEBATE, MR. HANEY, WOULD
YOU LIKE TO CLOSE? THANK YOU. I
HAVE GREAT RESPECT FOR BOTH OF
MY COLLEAGUES IN THEIR COMMENTS,
YOU KNOW, THIS BILL IS VERY
NARROWLY TAILORED, JUST EXISTING
COMMERCIAL OFFICE BUILDINGS,
CONVERSIONS TO HOUSING. THESE
ARE EXISTING BUILDINGS. THE
LABOR STANDARDS IN THIS BILL
WERE AGREED UPON BETWEEN THE
CARPENTERS AND THE TRADES. THESE
ARE TWO FOLKS THAT HAVE BEEN
FIGHTING ABOUT LABOR STANDARDS.
AND WE ACTUALLY BROUGHT THEM
TOGETHER TO REACH CONSENSUS ON
THIS BILL. IT ONLY APPLIES TO
THESE TYPES OF PROJECTS. OTHER
LABOR STANDARDS WILL APPLY ON
GROUND UP PROJECTS. I THINK THIS
IS A WIN WIN. IT'S AN OPTIONAL
PROGRAM. NOBODY'S FORCED TO TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF IT. BUT IF YOU TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF IT, YOU GET
STREAMLINED AND YOU GET BENEFITS
AND YOU USE HIGH LABOR
STANDARDS. I THINK THAT'S GOOD
FOR OUR STATE AND COLLEAGUES. I
HOPE THAT WE CAN MOVE FORWARD ON
THIS BILL. I THINK IT IS A WIN
WIN. WITH THAT, I RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR YOUR I VOTE. THANK YOU,
MR. HANEY. SEEING AND HEARING NO
FURTHER DEBATE, THE CLERK WILL
OPEN THE ROLL. ALL THOSE VOTES
WHO DESIRE TO VOTE, ALL THOSE
VÚI WHO DESIRE TO VOTE. ALL

READ. ASSEMBLY BILL 98 BY
ASSEMBLY MEMBER JUAN CARRILLO
AND OTHERS NOT RELATED TO LAND
USE. MR. CARRILLO, YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MR.
SPEAKER. I RISE TODAY TO PRESENT
ASSEMBLY BILL 98. THIS BILL
WOULD PROVIDE FOR STANDARDS FOR
NEW AND EXPANDED WAREHOUSES NEAR
COMMUNITIES AND OTHER SENSITIVE
RECEPTORS. AND THIS YEAR, IN MY
ROLE AS ASSEMBLY LOCAL
GOVERNMENT CHAIR, THE SPEAKER
TASKED ME WITH FACILITIES
FACILITATING DIFFICULT BUT
NECESSARY CONVERSATIONS TO
ADDRESS THE ISSUE THROUGH A
WORKING GROUP TO FIND A SOLUTION.
FINALLY, I'M COMMITTED TO
CONTINUING TO WORK ON THIS NEXT
YEAR FOR AS MANY YEARS AS IT TO
MAKE SURE THAT THERE ARE NO
UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES. WITH
THAT, I RESPECTFULLY ASK, I
VOTE. THANK YOU, MR. CARRILLO.
MR. LACKEY, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
LACKEY WILL WORK. THERE WE GO. I
RISE TO SPEAK. UNFORTUNATELY, IN
OPPOSITION TO AB 98. THIS
MEASURE NEGATIVELY IMPACTS SMALL
BUSINESSES. THE HISPANIC LOS
ANGELES AND SAN DIEGO CHAMBERS
ARE ALL OPPOSED, AS ARE THE
BUSINESSES THAT MAKE UP THE
INLAND EMPIRE. ECONOMIC
PARTNERSHIP. OUR CITIES WILL
HURT FARMERS AND THEIR WORKERS
WILL BE HEAVILY IMPACTED. THIS
WILL FURTHER DRIVE UP THE COST
OF FOOD AND EVERYDAY NECESSITIES.
MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE MEN AND
WOMEN OF THE GOODS MOVEMENT
SECTOR WILL BE GREATLY HARMED.
THEIR AVERAGE SALARY IS ABOUT
$85,000 A YEAR. THIS SALARY,
WHICH DOES NOT REQUIRE A COLLEGE
DEGREE, ALLOWS THEM TO AFFORD A
HOME AND SUPPORT A FAMILY. A LOT
OF TALKING, GOING ON. THIS BILL,
IF PASSED, WILL ERODE THEIR
FINANCIAL SECURITY. THE
REGULATIONS AND FINES WILL
INCREASE OPERATIONAL COSTS FOR
LOGISTIC COMPANIES. AIR QUALITY
WON'T NECESSARILY BE BETTER, AS
COMPANIES WILL NEED TO REROUTE
SHIPMENTS TO WAREHOUSES FARTHER
AWAY FROM DISTRIBUTION CENTERS.
ANY DISRUPTION IN THE WAREHOUSE
CAPACITY NEAR THESE PORTS WILL
DIRECTLY IMPACT THE SPEED AND
EFFICIENCY WHICH GOODS ARE
PROCESSED, STORED AND
TRANSPORTED, LEADING TO MORE
BACKLOGS AND DELAYS THROUGHOUT
THE SUPPLY CHAIN. ADDITIONALLY,
EVEN MORE FRIGHTENING, THE
DISRUPTION OF WAREHOUSE
OPERATIONS COULD CREATE NATIONAL
SECURITY RISKS AND WEAKEN OUR
POSITION IN THE GLOBAL TRADE. IF
OUR PORTS AND SUPPLY CHAINS
BECOME LESS RELIABLE, IT CAN
ENCOURAGE SHIPPERS TO DIVERT
CARGO TO OTHER REGIONS OR
COUNTRIES. ULTIMATELY REDUCING
THE COMPETITIVENESS OF THE
UNITED STATES IN THE GLOBAL
MARKET. WE CANNOT AFFORD TO LET
THIS HAPPEN FOR THE SAKE OF OUR
ECONOMY, OUR SECURITY AND OUR
LOCAL COMMUNITIES. I URGE ALL OF
YOU TO VOTE NO ON THIS AB 98.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK
YOU, MR. LACKEY. MISS

THE AUTHOR MAY NOW CLOSE. MR.
LARA. THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER, I
UNDERSTAND WHY WE JUST MADE THAT
MOTION. I DO I GET IT, BUT ON
THIS PARTICULAR BILL, THE
IMPACTS THAT IT HAS FOR OUR
INDIVIDUAL COMMUNITIES, IT'S
UNBELIEVABLE. I WOULD ALL OF US
ENCOURAGE HAVE THESE
CONVERSATIONS TO SHUT DOWN
DEBATE ON A BILL THAT IS THIS
DRAMATIC. I DO NOT BELIEVE IT'S
IN ORDER. I UNDERSTAND THAT WE
JUST MADE THAT MOTION. I
UNDERSTAND IT JUST GOT VOTED ON.
BUT COLLEAGUES, THIS BODY IS
OPEN FOR DEBATE. THIS BODY IS
WHERE WE HAVE THESE DISCUSSIONS.
AND TO SHUT DOWN DEBATE AFTER
ONE CONVERSATION IN OPPOSITION,
NOBODY ELSE EVER SPOKE IN
SUPPORT AND OR OPPOSITION. I
THINK WE SHOULD BE VERY, VERY
CAREFUL ON HOW WE PROCEED WITH
THIS MOVING FORWARD. THANK. MR.
GALLAGHER, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED
FOR YOUR POINT OF ORDER. YEAH
THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER. I
BELIEVE THAT THE THRESHOLD IS
NOT MAJORITY PRESENT. AND
VOTING, THAT IT HAS TO BE A
MAJORITY VOTE TO MOVE THE
PREVIOUS QUESTION ON A BILL. IT
IS THE THAT IS, IT IS THE
PRESENT MAJORITY. AND PRESENT
VOTING. PRESENT AND VOTING. THAT
IS THE RULE. SO YOUR POINT IS
NOT WELL TAKEN. MR. MR. CARILLO,
WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE? I
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST FOR AN AYE

CARILLO. WITH THAT, THE CLERK
WILL OPEN THE ROLL. ALL THOSE

MEMBER WICKS. THE CLERK WILL
READ. ASSEMBLY BILL 1252 BY
ASSEMBLY MEMBER WICKS AND OTHERS
RELATING TO PUBLIC SAFETY.
MEMBER WICKS, YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MR.
SPEAKER. MEMBERS, THIS BILL, AB
1252, PUTS IN STATUTE THE OFFICE
OF GUN VIOLENCE PREVENTION,
AMONGST OTHER THINGS,
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN AYE VOTE.
MR. SALEH, MAY I RECOGNIZE THE
SPEAKER? Þ I JUST THINK WE
SHOULD BE DEBATING ALL BILLS. I
MEAN, I DON'T I DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHY WE'RE CUTTING OFF DEBATE.
THIS IS A DELIBERATIVE BODY. DO
YOU HAVE A POINT OF ORDER OR
WHAT? OR IS THIS I'M TALKING
ABOUT DEBATING THIS BILL. AND DO
YOU HAVE A POINT OF ORDER, MR.
SALEH? NO. THEN YOU ARE OUT OF
ORDER. I'M. EXCUSE ME. I'M
PULLING UP. YOU DO NOT HAVE A
POINT OF ORDER. I'M SPEAKING ON
THIS BILL. YOU. YOU DID NOT
SPEAK ABOUT THE BILL. YOU TALKED
ABOUT A GENERAL SUBJECT. OKAY DO
YOU HAVE A POINT OF ORDER? THE
BILL IS ABOUT AN OFFICE OF GUN
VIOLENCE PREVENTION, AND I DON'T
THINK WE NEED AN OFFICE OF GUN
VIOLENCE PREVENTION. WE NEED TO
WE NEED TO BE ENFORCING THE LAWS
WE ALREADY HAVE ON GUN VIOLENCE.
I DON'T THINK THAT REQUIRES AN
OFFICE. WE HAVE DISTRICT
ATTORNEYS. WE HAVE SHERIFF'S
OFFICES. WE'VE GOT POLICE
DEPARTMENTS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHY WE WOULD CREATE A NEW
BUREAUCRACY THAT'S GOING TO
FOCUS ON GUN VIOLENCE. THE WAY
YOU ADDRESS GUN VIOLENCE IS BY
ENFORCING THE LAW AND BY HAVING
TOUGH PENALTIES. WHEN PEOPLE USE
A GUN IN THE COMMISSION OF A
CRIME, THAT'S HOW YOU END GUN
VIOLENCE. BUT OPENING UP AN
OFFICE WITH MORE BUREAUCRACY AND
BUREAUCRATS TO DO NOTHING, I
DON'T I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS AT
ALL. SO I THINK THIS IS A
WELL-INTENDED GOAL. BUT WE HAVE
PROVEN WAYS TO END GUN VIOLENCE,
AND THAT'S BY HAVING STRICT AND
TOUGH CONSEQUENCES. WHEN YOU USE
A GUN IN THE COMMISSION OF A
CRIME, SO, MR. SPEAKER, I JUST
THINK THIS IS A VERY UNWISE
MOVE. AND AND I'M GLAD I CAN
DEBATE THIS. I'M GLAD I CAN
EXERCISE MY VOICE ON BEHALF OF
THE 500,000 CALIFORNIANS THAT
REPRESENT. THEY'RE JUST AS EQUAL
AS EVERYONE ELSE. AND DEBATE IS
IMPORTANT. AND IT'S NOT OUR
FAULT THAT, THAT THAT YOU ALL
PROCRASTINATED. SO HERE WE ARE
AT THE END OF THE CLOCK. THANK
YOU, MR. SPEAKER. MISS WIX,
WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE? SEEING
AND HEARING NO FURTHER DEBATE.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE? I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN AYE VOTE.
WE'LL OPEN THE ROLL. ALL THOSE

SENATE AMENDMENTS ARE CONCURRED
IN MOVING TO FILE ITEM 207, AB
1465 BY ASSEMBLY MEMBER WICKS.
THE CLERK WILL READ. ASSEMBLY
BILL 1465 BY ASSEMBLY MEMBER
WICKS, AN ACT RELATING TO AIR
POLLUTION. SOME MEMBER WICKS.
YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU,
MR. SPEAKER. MEMBERS, THIS IS A
BILL I'VE BROUGHT UP A COUPLE OF
TIMES. IT INCREASES THE
PENALTIES FOR TITLE FIVE
FACILITIES, REFINERIES,
LANDFILLS AND OTHER THINGS. THE
PENALTIES HAVE NOT BEEN
INCREASED IN A COUPLE OF
DECADES. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT TO
THE ENVIRONMENTAL COMMUNITY. I
KNOW THERE'S BEEN RECENT
OPPOSITION, PARTICULARLY FROM
OUR WASTE HAULERS. I'M COMMITTED
TO WORKING WITH THEM
SPECIFICALLY AROUND THE ORGANICS
AND RECYCLING, STARTING NEXT
WEEK AND SEEING IF WE CAN COME
TO A SOLUTION OVER THE FALL AND
IN THE COMING MONTHS AND NEXT
YEAR TO BRING ABOUT A SOLUTION.
I'M COMMITTED TO THAT PROCESS. I
WILL SIT DOWN WITH THEM AND ALL
STAKEHOLDERS. I WOULD
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN AYE
VOTE. MR. GALLAGHER, YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MR.
SPEAKER. AND I KNOW, LIKE YOU
KNOW, WE'RE AT THE END OF OUR,
YOU KNOW, TIME HERE, BUT THIS IS
AN IMPORTANT BILL TO THE
AGRICULTURAL INDUSTRY. THIS IS A
BIG PROBLEMS WITH THIS, WITH
THIS BILL AND HOW IT WOULD
IMPACT, YOU KNOW, OUR AG
FACILITIES IF THIS WERE TO GO
INTO PLACE. AND WE THINK IT SETS
A VERY BAD PRECEDENT FOR
PENALTIES FOR SIMILAR POLLUTION
VIOLATIONS CAN BE DIFFERENTIATED
SIMPLY BY THE FACILITY TYPE.
UNDER THIS APPROACH, OTHER
SIMILARLY PERMITTED TITLE FIVE
FACILITIES MAY LIKEWISE BE
SINGLED OUT. SECTOR BY SECTOR.
THERE IS NO PUBLIC POLICY
RATIONALE FOR SINGLING OUT
REFINERIES. SERIOUS LEGAL
QUESTIONS OF EQUAL PROTECTION
AND DUE PROCESS, ESPECIALLY
GIVEN THE IMPACTS OF AIR
POLLUTION VIOLATION THAT WOULD
LIKELY BE THE SAME ON AIR
QUALITY, BUT THE TREATMENT AND
PENALTIES APPLIED WOULD BE BASED
OFF OF FACILITY TYPE. THAT'S THE
PROBLEM HERE IS THAT WE'RE ONLY
WE'RE DIFFERENTIATING ON
FACILITY TYPE HERE. AND WITH OUR
AG FACILITIES, WE ALREADY FACE
AS I'VE SAID ON THIS FLOOR MANY
TIMES, WE ALREADY FACE, SO MANY
PROBLEMS WITH THIS ISSUE RIGHT
NOW. WE ALREADY HAVE SO MANY
COSTS ON US, AND COMMODITY
PRICES ARE AT AN ALL TIME LOW.
SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO
SUPPORT TO OPPOSE. THANK YOU,
MR. GALLAGHER. RECOGNIZING THE
MAJORITY LEADER FOR A MOTION, I
MOVE TO SUSPEND ASSEMBLY RULE
108 TO LIMIT EACH MEMBER TO
SPEAK FOR 30S SO WE CAN PASS
BILLS WHILE COMPLYING WITH
TONIGHT'S CONSTITUTIONAL
DEADLINE. MEMBERS, THIS IS NOT
DEBATABLE AND TAKES 40 VOTES.
THE CLERK WILL OPEN THE ROLL.
ALL THOSE VOTE WHO DESIRE TO
VOTE. ALL THOSE VOTES WHO DESIRE
TO VOTE. NOT DEBATABLE. CLERK
WILL CLOSE. WE'LL CLOSE THE ROLL
AND TALLY THE VOTES. AYES 4142.
NO 17. THE RULES ARE SUSPENDED.
SPEAKERS ARE LIMITED TO 30S PER
PERSON. MR. LARA. THANK YOU,
THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER.
COLLEAGUES, IT'S INTERESTING.
WE'VE JUST GONE THROUGH A WEEK'S
WORTH OF BILLS THAT ARGUABLY DO
SOMETHING OR VERY LITTLE. WE'VE
SAVED SOME OF THE BIGGEST BILLS.
WE FOUGHT WITH THE OTHER HOUSE
ON WHAT BILLS WE WERE GETTING
BACK AND FORTH. SOME OF THE
BIGGEST BILLS OF THE LEGISLATIVE
SESSION. WE ARE CHOOSING THESE
BILLS TO SHUT DOWN AND LIMIT
DEBATE ON WHAT ARE WE DOING. I
HAVE BEEN IT IS A POINT OF ORDER
BECAUSE I'VE BEEN IN THIS BODY
FOR EIGHT YEARS. I'VE NEVER SEEN
US LIMIT. I UNDERSTAND THAT
WE'RE UP AGAINST THE CLOCK. WHAT
IS YOUR POINT OF ORDER? MY POINT
OF ORDER IS THIS IS ABSOLUTE
GARBAGE. WE CANNOT DO DEMOCRACY
IN THE FIFTH LARGEST ECONOMY AND
NOT BE ABLE TO DEBATE BILLS THAT
ARE THIS BIG AND THIS IMPORTANT,
WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, YOUR POINT
IS NOT WELL TAKEN. ONE OF OUR.
MR. GALLAGHER POINT OF ORDER,
MR. SPEAKER. I BELIEVE THAT IF
YOU'RE GOING TO LIMIT DEBATE TO
30S WHEN THE RULE IS THAT WE
EACH GET FIVE MINUTES, IF WE'RE
GOING TO DO THE 30S, THAT THAT
SHOULD REQUIRE A SUPERMAJORITY
VOTE OF THIS HOUSE. IT REQUIRES
40 VOTES. SO YOUR POINT OF ORDER
IS OUT OF ORDER. MR. ADRIN.
MADAM. MISS, MISS BARRETT KHN,

WHAT IS YOUR POINT OF ORDER, MR.
ROSALI? SHE MOVED TO SUSPEND THE
RULES, BUT I DO NOT THINK SHE
HAS THE AUTHORITY TO MAKE A NEW
RULE SO SHE CAN SUSPEND THE
RULES. AND I DO THINK THAT
SHOULD BE SUPERMAJORITY. BUT I
DO NOT THINK SHE CAN MAKE A NEW
RULE. THAT'S MY POINT OF ORDER.
I DON'T SHE DID NOT MAKE A NEW

OF, LONG NIGHTS, A LITTLE, YOU

COMMITTEES AND ALSO ON THIS
FLOOR. BUT THAT'S WHAT WE'RE

CALIFORNIA. AND WE BRING THAT
VISION AND THAT VOICE, FROM OUR
DISTRICTS, IT'S NOT ALWAYS
PRETTY, NOT ALWAYS, YOU KNOW,
MAYBE THINGS DON'T ALWAYS GO SO

BEEN ABLE TO DO. I THINK WE HAVE
BROUGHT A VERY MUCH NEEDED
OPPOSITION VOICE HERE. BUT I
THINK IN A PROACTIVE AND
PRODUCTIVE WAY, AND THAT HAS
HELPED MAKE LEGISLATION BETTER,
THAT ALSO, YOU KNOW, IS OUR JOB,
SO WE ALWAYS HAVE ENOUGH TIME
FOR DEBATE. THAT'S OKAY. YOU
KNOW, DEBATE IS A GOOD THING.
TRANSPARENCY IS A GOOD THING.
COMMITTEE HEARINGS THAT MAYBE
LAST LONGER THAN ANYBODY MAYBE
WOULD LIKE ARE A GOOD THING. THE
PUBLIC COMING IN AND HAVING LOTS
OF INPUT, IS A GOOD THING, THE

IMPORTANT AND, AND I BELIEVE
VERY STRONGLY IN THE PEOPLE'S
HOUSE AND THE ABILITY FOR US TO

EVENING, I AM STRUCK ONCE AGAIN
BY THE DIVERSITY IN THIS ROOM,
THIS LEGISLATURE IS MORE
REFLECTIVE OF CALIFORNIA AND OF
CALIFORNIANS THAN EVER BEFORE IN
THE HISTORY OF THIS STATE. IN
THIS BIG AND VIBRANT STATE, WE
GET TO CALL HOME, WE REPRESENT
MANY DIFFERENT KINDS OF PEOPLE,
MANY KINDS OF PRIORITIES, AND
MANY DIFFERENT KINDS OF URGENT,
URGENT NEEDS. ALL ACROSS THIS
STATE. BUT EVERY LEGISLATOR

FOR CALIFORNIA AND A DESIRE TO
BOTH PROTECT IT AND IMPROVE IT.

CHAPTER IN YOUR LIVES. AND
WHATEVER YOUR NEXT STEPS ARE,
YOU ARE FOREVER. FOREVER A PART
OF THIS INSTITUTION'S LONG, LONG
HISTORY. AND I HOPE YOU TAKE A
MOMENT AND REFLECT NOT JUST ON
YOUR LEGISLATIVE ACHIEVEMENTS
AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS, BUT THE
PEOPLE THAT YOU'VE HELPED FROM A
COLLEAGUE WHO NEEDED SUPPORT IN
A DIFFICULT MOMENT TO A
CONSTITUENT WHO REACHED OUT TO
YOUR OFFICE OR MAYBE A YOUNG
PERSON INSPIRED BY YOUR SERVICE.
WE DO BIG THINGS HERE IN
CALIFORNIA, AND SO WHEN YOU WALK
OUT OF THESE CHAMBERS HERE
TONIGHT, I HOPE YOU'LL REFLECT
ON WHAT I'M SURE ARE MANY, MANY
MEMORIES, LIKE THE CHAOS THAT
OCCURRED TONIGHT THAT YOU ALL
HELPED CREATE. BUT I OFTEN THINK
I OFTEN THINK THAT WHAT WILL
ACTUALLY BE REMEMBERED FOR IS
THE IMPACT WE HAD ON THOSE
AROUND US. AND SO TO THE
LEGISLATORS, TO OUR COLLEAGUES
LEAVING THIS BODY TONIGHT. THANK
YOU. YOU ALL WILL BE MISSED. AND.
AND SO, SPEAKING OF BIG THINGS,
I DO WANT TO REFLECT VERY
BRIEFLY ON OUR COLLECTIVE
ACCOMPLISHMENTS OVER THIS PAST
YEAR. BECAUSE OF OUR COLLECTIVE
WORK, WE DELIVERED A BUDGET
UNDER SIGNIFICANT PRESSURE THAT
PROTECTED OUR STUDENTS AND KEPT,
FUNDING FOR CRITICAL SOCIAL
SERVICES. WE ARE GIVING
CALIFORNIANS AN OPPORTUNITY THIS
NOVEMBER TO INVEST IN REBUILDING
AND MODERNIZING OUR SCHOOLS AND
TO CONSIDER A CLIMATE BOND THAT
WILL KEEP CALIFORNIA AT THE
VANGUARD OF CLIMATE ACTION. WE
PASSED HISTORIC RETAIL THEFT
BILLS FINALLY STANDING UP FOR
LOCAL BUSINESSES, AND EVERY
CALIFORNIAN WHO IS TIRED OF
THESE SMASH AND GRABS A TIRED OF
SEEING EMPLOYEES TARGETED AND
ATTACKED. CALIFORNIA CONTINUES
TO LEAD THE WAY, AND THE REST OF
THE COUNTRY CONTINUES TO LOOK TO
US TO PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT,
TO ELEVATE UNDERSERVED
COMMUNITIES, AND TO DRIVE
INNOVATION. AND THESE
ACHIEVEMENTS AND THE WORK THAT
