Senate Standing Committee on Appropriations

We're holding our committee hearing in the O Street Building in room 2200. We will establish a quorum when we have it. Turn the page. We have 25 bills on today's agenda, two of which are eligible for a due pass motion. The remaining bills are all suspense candidates. I believe everyone has waived presentation. Thank you. AB 1354 by Fong is still listed on the agenda in the daily file, but it will not be heard today. Instead, that measure will be sent directly to the Senate floor pursuant to Rule 28.8. And before we hear testimony, obviously we have the Finance with us today. So thank you for being with us today. We have Michele Perrault and we have Anthony Archie pitting in.

Thank you for stepping in. When we'll have a quorum, we'll establish it. I also want to remind all our witnesses today to limit their testimony to the fiscal aspects of the bill. Please refrain from pre-litigating your prior testimony. All of the policy stuff we love to hear when we're on our own time. But during the committee time, we want to hear just about the fiscal merits of the bill. Right, Michele? All right, we are going to go right to our first bill. Our first bill is AB 52 by Assemblymember Grayson. It is on income tax credit, sales and use tax, manufacturing equipment. It is a suspense candidate. Mr. Grayson has waived presentation. We're going to open up the public comment with support testimony, and I see Mr. Micheli itching to be at the microphone.

We'll open up the public hearing right here in room 2200, where it all happens this morning. If anyone would like to speak in favor of AB 60, now is your opportunity. Seeing no rush of support, we see people leaving the room. They must not want to get trivia questions. See that? You want a trivia question before you go? Come on. Come on back in. We'll give you a trivia question. A good one. All right. When Ronald Reagan mentioned Mikhail Korbachov tear down that wall. What city was he talking about?

All right, we heard our file. We don't have a quorum. We will dispense with AB 230 when we have a quorum. So I'm torn on this question. Should I ask for the name of the band from the 80s or the contemporary band? You want to know the all right. So Weezer covered a song about a continent.

Thank you, Mr. I really appreciate your time. I want to thank the committee Members and I'm pleased to present AB 690 today. I want to take a moment to thank your committee and committee staff working with this Bill.

Legal document Assistance LDAs are experienced professionals for authorized prepare legal documents in a ministerial manner for a legal consumer, but only at the direction of the legal consumer. In other words, an LDA is there to assist self help legal consumers in handling their own legal matters without the cost of an attorney. The original authorization for LDAs was conducted on a trial basis and later extended by the Legislature.

In 2002, chapter 10 118 Statutes of 2002, fallen decision of People v. Landlords Professional Services, which specifically held that the provisions of such services does not constitute. The

practice of law. The statute has been extended several times since it originally enacted so that the LDA could continue to operate in California. AB 690 allows LDS to continue their work to help self filers access the legal system by extending the Stern set date on the statutes authorizing and regulating LDAs for six years until January 1, 2030. Here to testify.

We have Amy Jenkins, who is representing the California Association of Legal Document Assistance.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman and Members, I will keep my comments very brief. I think the Assemblyman said everything that was needed. I think I'll just reinforce the fact that this Bill is not a new program.

It extends an existing program that's been in place for a number of years. And these statutes are set to expire. So, without this extension, the profession cannot continue to lawfully operate in the State. It's much needed, and we urge your aye vote today. Thank you.

Any additional witnesses in support? Is there any opposition to this Bill? Seeing no opposition. Moderator anyone on the phone line wanting to speak to AB 690? Thank

you. If you are in support or opposition to Assembly Bill 690, please press one followed by zero. One filed by zero. Nobody is queuing up, mr. Chair? No one's queuing up.

Thank you, chair and Senators. Since 2017, Californians have been protected from rising prescription drug costs with a $250 copay cap for a 30 day supply of medication. But that consumer protection is set to expire next year. AB 948 would make the existing copay cap permanent and ensure that Californians can access the medication that they need and focus on their health, not whether they can afford their prescription. As the analysis notes, there are minor and absorbable costs to the Department of Managed Health Care and minor special Fund costs to the California Department of Insurance. Respectfully ask for your aye vote. And I'm joined by Katie Van Dynes, policy and legislative advocate with Health Access California.

do have a file. We are currently opposed to the Bill as it creates some General Fund cost pressures around $50,000. General Fund? Ongoing and is duplicative of some current work already occurring.

All right. Is there any questions on 1251 or comments seeing none. Without objection, 1251 will move to suspense.

We have pulled 1354 from the agenda. Moving on to 1483, Valencia firearm purchases. It's a suspense candidate, but before we go to public comment, does anybody know who was born at Babyland General Hospital? We got it from the sergeants.

Cabbage Patch Kids. See that? That's just scary. Randy. I'd be disappointed if you said that. How about that? He might have daughters. You never know. How about that? That was a good question. Who had the nickname of Sweetness? I know that. Who? Walter Payton. Walter Payton. There you go. All right.

AB 1483. Valencia will open up the public comment the author's way presentation. There's nobody here to speak in support of 1483. Is there anybody to speak in opposition of 1483? No opposition. Moderator, moderator, before you go to the phone line, here's a question. What historical occurrence happened in 1483 at the tower of London.

I knew sweetness. I don't know. It

was the first execution. William Hastings was killed in 1483. It was also the year the Sistine Chapel opened up in 1483. That's ironic. How about that? All right, so open up the phone line. Anybody wanting to speak on 1483. If

you are in support or opposition to Assembly Bill 1483, please press one followed by zero, and line 13. You are open. Hi,

good morning, chair and Members. This is Genesis Coronado with Los Angeles Unified School District in support of AB 1483. Thank

you. And we'll give one more reminder, one followed by zero, to express support or opposition to AB 1483 and nobody is queuing up Mr. Chair. All

right. Finance, do we have a file on 1483? No file, no file, no questions, no comments. So without objection, AB 1483 will go to Suspense.

We have our final Bill, which is AB 1651 by Sanchez on pupil health, emergency medical care and 1651, who knew that in 1651, Massachusetts passed laws forbidding excessive styles of dress. And in England, the very first Starbucks was opened up in Oxford. The first coffee shop was opened up in Oxford in 1651.

Who knew? I didn't know. All right, let's open up the public comment on 1651? There's nobody here. Are you here for 1651 in support opposition. We have one spectator who's not speaking. All right, let's go to the phone line. Opposition or support of 1651? Thank

you, Mr. Chair. If you're in support or opposition to AB 1651, please press one followed by zero. Nobody is queuing up. Mr. Chair.

one is queuing up. Finance, do we have a file on 1651? We

do. We're currently opposed to 1651 as it creates a state reimbursable state mandate of unknown costs dependent on how local education agencies choose to implement. All

right, do we have any questions or comments from my colleagues on AB 1651? So without objection, that will move to Suspense. And then I have one final question. Who was the frontman for Culture Club? Boy George.

There you go. All right. So without objection, AB 1651 will move to Suspense.

We will hold the roll open. I understand a couple of our colleagues Senator Wahab is here. We'll lift the call so she can leave. So let's lift the call on AB 690. Call the absent Members. The motion is due passed to the Senate floor chair. Voting aye. Senator Jones. Senator Wahab, aye. Senator Weiner.

We'll keep that on call. We'll move on to AB 948. Berman, please lift the call.

The motion is due passed to the Senate floor chair. Voting aye. Senator Jones. Senator Wahab, aye. Senator Weiner.

We'll keep that on call. And so we'll wait another couple of minutes. I know Senator Weiner is on his way. We'll give him an opportunity to be here. The rest of you, enjoy the rest of your day. I will see you all on the floor.

All right? Absolutely. Mr. Weiner, your penance, you're going to get two trivia questions. We're doing 80s trivia. Okay. So the first one is an easy one. Who's saying if we took a holiday, took some time to celebrate just one day out of life, it would be so nice?

You're asking a gay man of my generation. I told you one was easy. Madonna.

Madonna. All right. The second one is a little more difficult.

Which musical group performed the 1985 hit song take on me? No,

I actually know this. And I'm just completely having your brain. It's

an unusual name. No,

I can totally see them. You

got them both right. Good job. All right, let's lift the call on AB six.

Haven't thought about AHA in a very long time. I

knew you would like those two questions. All right. AB

690. The motion is due. Passed to the Senate floor chair, voting aye. Senator jones. Senator Weiner, aye.

Six to zero. That Bill is out. Move to AB 948.

The motion is due. Passed to the Senate floor chair, voting aye. Senator jones. Senator Weiner, aye. Six to zero.

That Bill is out. Six to zero. That concludes our business today. Do we need to read anything at the end here? If anybody wants to continue to participate in the process, you can send in your comments to the committee. And we enjoyed having you here today. And thank you for being part of this meeting.
