MEMBERS. TODAY I RISE IN
RECOGNITION OF INDIGENOUS
PEOPLES DAY. THE PLACE WE NOW
CALL CALIFORNIA HAS BEEN THE
HOME OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES FROM
THE VERY BEGINNING. LONG BEFORE
JUAN CABRILLO SET FOOT ON THIS
SOIL IN 1542, INDIGENOUS PEOPLE
HAD ALREADY BUILT VIBRANT AND
DIVERSE CULTURES AND ECONOMIES.
OUR NATIVE PEOPLE HAD ALREADY
BEEN STEWARDS OF THIS GREAT LAND
FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS,
SAFEGUARDING LANGUAGES,
KNOWLEDGE AND TRADITIONS ACROSS
GENERATIONS. IT IS CRITICAL THAT
WE NOT ONLY RECOGNIZE THEIR
ACCOMPLISHMENTS, BUT WE ACCOUNT
FOR THE ROLE THAT THE STATE HAS
PLAYED IN THEIR SUFFERING. WE
MUST NEVER FORGET THAT THE FIRST
GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA, PETER
BURNETT, INFAMOUSLY SAID TO THE
LEGISLATURE THAT I QUOTE, A WAR
OF EXTERMINATION WILL BE WAGED
UNTIL THE INDIAN RACE BECOMES
EXTINCT. CLEARLY, HE WAS WRONG
AND TODAY WE ARE PROUD TO SAY
CALIFORNIA IS HOME TO THE MOST
FEDERALLY RECOGNIZED TRIBES IN
THE UNITED STATES, AS WELL AS
THE LARGEST POPULATION OF NATIVE
AMERICANS IN THE COUNTRY.
INDIGENOUS PEOPLES ARE A
CRITICAL PART OF THE TAPESTRY OF
CALIFORNIA. WE ARE BETTER FOR
HAVING THE FOOTPRINT OF OUR
INDIGENOUS PEOPLES IN OUR ART,
MUSIC, CUISINE, CULTURE, AND
COUNTLESS OTHER AREAS. WE
ACKNOWLEDGE THE SIGNIFICANT
IMPACT THEY HAVE ON OUR STATE AS
TRIBAL NATIONS HAVE A TOTAL
ECONOMIC IMPACT ON CALIFORNIA OF
MORE THAN $17 BILLION. TODAY, ON
INDIGENOUS PEOPLES DAY, WE
CELEBRATE THEIR INVALUABLE
CONTRIBUTIONS, THEIR RESILIENCE,
INHERENT SOVEREIGNTY AND OUR
COMMITMENT TO HONORING THEM AS A
CRITICAL PART OF CALIFORNIA'S
PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE. THANK
YOU. THANK YOU. ASSEMBLY MEMBER
REYES. MOVING NOW TO MOTIONS AND
RESOLUTIONS. THE ABSENCES FOR
THE DAY WILL BE DEEMED READ AND

ASSEMBLY MEMBER WIX, I'M NOT

MR. SPEAKER. I WELCOME LITTLE
ELOISE WIX AMBLER TO THE FLOOR

ELLIE, WELCOME. AND ASSEMBLY

AT YOUR DESK. YES, MR. SPEAKER
AND MEMBERS, THIS IS BIG ELOISE,
AND I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE MY
HUSBAND, FRANK REYES, WHO IS
JOINING US ON THE FLOOR TODAY.
WELCOME, FRANK. THANK YOU. WE
WILL NOW MOVE TO ASSEMBLY BILL
ONE BY MR. HART. WITHOUT
REFERENCE TO FILE FOR
CONCURRENCE OF SENATE
AMENDMENTS. THE CLERK WILL READ.
ASSEMBLY BILL ONE BY ASSEMBLY
MEMBER HART AND OTHERS, AND ACT
RELATING TO ENERGY. SO, MEMBER
HART, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. THANK
YOU, MR. SPEAKER, AND MEMBERS,
SINCE THE START OF THIS SECOND
EXTRAORDINARY SESSION, THE
LEGISLATURE HAS SPENT MORE THAN
20 HOURS EXAMINING THE STATE'S
TRANSPORTATION FUELS MARKET, AS
WELL AS DEBATING AND VOTING ON
THE MEASURE BEFORE YOU TODAY. 13
DAYS AGO, I STOOD BEFORE YOU IN
THIS CHAMBER AND COMMITTED TO
REFINING THIS POLICY IN THE
SENATE. TODAY, AB 2-1 RETURNS
FOR CONCURRENCE WITH AMENDMENTS
THAT ENSURE WORKER SAFETY AND
PROTECTIONS WHICH WILL NOT BE
ALTERED BY THE CEC RULEMAKING
UNDER THIS BILL. THE AMENDMENTS
CLARIFY THAT ANY REGULATIONS
ISSUED DUE TO AB 2-1 SHALL
PROTECT THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF
EMPLOYEES, LOCAL COMMUNITIES AND
THE PUBLIC. THE BILL CLARIFIES
EXISTING LAW THAT PROTECTS
REFINERY WORKERS HEALTH AND
SAFETY, INCLUDING STOP WORK
AUTHORITY FOR EMERGENCY AND
NECESSARY MAINTENANCE SHUTDOWNS.
THE AMENDMENTS MAKE IT CLEAR
THAT ANY REGULATIONS ISSUED
UNDER THIS BILL WILL NOT MODIFY
SKILLED AND TRAINED WORKFORCE
REQUIREMENTS AT REFINERIES. THE
AMENDMENTS SPECIFY THAT THE
LABOR REPRESENTATIVE ON THE
INDEPENDENT CONSUMER FUELS
ADVISORY COMMITTEE MUST HAVE
EXPERIENCE IN REFINERY
OPERATIONS. THIS BILL IS THE
RESULT OF COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS
BETWEEN BOTH HOUSES OF THE
LEGISLATURE AND THE
ADMINISTRATION. I BELIEVE WE
HAVE A STRONGER POLICY BEFORE US
TODAY THAN WHEN WE STARTED, ONE
THAT PRIORITIZES WORKER SAFETY,
FRONT LINE COMMUNITIES AND THE
PUBLIC INTEREST. COLLEAGUES, I
URGE AN AYE VOTE SO THAT WE CAN
PROVIDE CONSUMER PROTECTIONS AT
THE PUMP AND SAVE CALIFORNIA
WORKING FAMILIES BILLIONS IN
GASOLINE COSTS. THANK YOU, MR.
HART. ASSEMBLY MEMBER
AGUIAR-CURRY, YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MR.
SPEAKER. MEMBERS, THIS BILL WILL
PROTECT CALIFORNIANS FROM
SURGING GAS PRICES BY REQUIRING
REFINERIES TO PLAN FOR SHUTDOWNS
AND SUPPLY CHAIN DISRUPTIONS.
THE AMENDMENTS TAKEN IN THE
SENATE PROVIDE MORE PROTECTIONS
FOR WORKERS AND THE PUBLIC, AND
THIS BILL CLEARLY STATES THAT NO
REGULATIONS WILL MOVE FORWARD
UNLESS THERE IS A DIRECT BENEFIT
TO THE CALIFORNIA GAS CONSUMERS.
I WANT TO THANK MY COLLEAGUES
AND JOINT AUTHORS, ASSEMBLY
MEMBER HART AND SENATOR SKINNER,
AS WELL AS OUR ASSEMBLY POLICY
CHAIR, ASSEMBLY MEMBER
PETRIE-NORRIS FOR THEIR WORK ON
THIS CRITICAL ISSUE. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR I VOTE.
