Senate Standing Committee on Appropriations

Appropriations will come to order as a Subcommitee. We do not have a quorum, but we will come to order anyway. For individuals wishing to provide public comment through the teleconference line, the teleconference participant number is 877-226-8163. That is 877-226-8163 and the access code is 1147276, 1147276. We're holding our Committee hearing in the O Street Building in room 2200 where all the action is happening this fine morning. We will establish a quorum when we have one.

We have 60 bills on the agenda, one of which is eligible for a due pass motion. The remaining items are suspense. Candidates AB 292 Pellerin is still listed on the agenda in the Daily File, but it will be rescheduled for next hearing on July 10. Before we begin, obviously we still don't have a quorum, and so we are going to remind all witnesses to limit their testimony to the fiscal aspects of a Bill and to refrain from prior testimony and relitigating the policy merits.

We are a fiscal Committee and Finance in the House. Exactly. We go to my other set of notes here. Yes, of course. I even get the moderator involved too. Since Assemblymember Bauer Kahan is here with AB 521, we will take that out of order. It is a do pass recommendation and we will start out with some 80s trivia.

Ooh, 80s.

What was the name of David Hasselhoff's car in Knight Rider? Was a talking car.

Does finance know? I thought we were going to go Baywatch when you said David Hasselhoff. Yeah, exactly. Thank you, Senator.

Mark knows. Kit. Kit.

Impressive.

All right, since you didn't get that one right, we're going to come back to you with a second.

I get another opportunity. Too kind, Mr. Chair.

I am too kind that you go. Kindly go to the be clear.

I wasn't a child of the 80s.

So there is a Netflix television series set in 1980s Indiana and it is called.

My staff watches more television.

Who knows? You always know everything. All right. Tell us: Stranger Things. All right, next time you will I.

Need to get out more, I guess I need to get out less and watch more Netflix. More popular, we've learned.

All right, tell us about AB 521, which is on occupational safety and health standards.

Thank you, Mr. Chair and Members. AB 521 ensures equal protection through restroom access on job sites. AB 521 simply ask Cal OSHA to revisit its standards for restroom requirements on construction sites to ensure separate facilities for women. This will protect women in the trades from the health risks and intimidation they face in restroom access today. The costs of Department are low and will be easily made up by the benefits that women will have on the job sites. I know it is a priority for this Legislature to get more women into the trades and this Bill will help us do so.

Do we have witnesses?

No.

Does anybody want to speak in favor of this fine Bill? Seeing no one come to the microphone in support, how about any opposition? Seeing no opposition, is there anyone on the phone line? Moderator support or opposition?

For support or opposition, press one, then zero. On your telephone keypad, we'll go to line 13. Line 13, your line is open. I guess we have no further support or opposition, Mr. Chair.

Have no support or opposition? We'll come back to finance.

Yes, we actually have an opposed on the Bill. We show a fiscal of 92,000 one time out of the Division of Occupational Health and Safety funds, but also unknown costs for enforcement.

All right, any questions from my colleagues? Seeing no questions from my colleagues, when we have a quorum, we will take care of the Bill. And since we'll give you one last trivia question because I'm having fun.

This time, I would have paid attention to my text because people are texting me the answers.

Oh, that's cheating.

I still didn't get it right.

This one I actually asked at the last meeting, but it's an easy one. So, in her 1983 hit Holiday, since we talked about vacations, what one name singer declared it would be if we took a holiday. Took some time to celebrate just one day out of life. It would be so nice.

Madonna.

All right, I knew you would know that one. All right.

Thank you.

One of my favorites.

We'll take care of this.

She would be proud of this gender equity Bill there.

It is a suspense candidate. The author's waived presentation.

Yes. Finance is currently opposed to the Bill. We show a cost estimate of $158,000 in General Fund as well as one position ongoing.

AB 1057 seeks to assign a social worker to visit the home of every child at birth in California. The increased workload of social services in California would no doubt need to lead to the hiring and training of new staff. And this financial burden would lead to an impact on families due to higher taxes. And we're concerned, obviously, with other issues with the Bill policy wise, but as far as fiscally, we're concerned for the families impacted by taxes. Thank you so much.

All right, before you go, so in the eighties got their own movie. Can you name one of the two Ewok movies? Anybody know any of the he's thinking.

Hello, chair Members. Nick Sackett for social compassion in legislation. Proud sponsors of the Bill. The latest DOJ crime report showed only 114 arrests for the animal abuse crimes listed in this Bill. And for this Bill to apply, those arrests would have to lead to probation. The few actual convictions, combined with the state only incurring costs when the defendant can't afford the mental health treatment, leads us to believe that there will be very minimal cost to the state.

Just like to mention the Uvalde, Texas and Buffalo, New York. Perpetrators of mass shootings. There were both known animal abusers. So we need to get these folks help. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure in these instances. Thank you.

Additionally, it's estimated that there could be unknown, but likely significant General Fund costs to procure the new hardware and software to develop and maintain the registry.

Finance is currently opposed to 123. We estimate the Bill will reduce General Fund sales use revenue by 1.7 in 2324, 7.1 million in 24-25 and 7.6 million in 25-26. In addition, the Bill will reduce local government sales and use tax, which by the Constitution requires that the local revenue be backfilled by the state.

Therefore, we would estimate that General Fund will incur additional estimated costs of 460,2324, 1.9 million in 24-25 and 2.1 million in 25-26 to backfill the local revenue Fund.

All right, thank you. Do we have any questions or comments? Seeing none, without objection. 1203 will move to suspense. Moving on AB 1213. Ortega workers compensation, aggregate disability payments.

Support or opposition for AB 1313, please press one, then zero. At this moment. And with that, Mr. Chair, we have no support or opposition.

No support or opposition. Do we have a file?

Finance is currently opposed to 1313. We note an estimated 3.5 million to 5.5 million General Fund annually through the completion of the pilot program, which is through 2030 for local assistance grants. We would also note that it would continue to create ongoing General Fund cost pressures to the extent an appropriation is included in the annual budget.

Thank you. Seeing no questions or comments from my colleagues, without objection, 1313, we'll move to the Suspense file AB 1215 by Wendy Carrillo on Pets Assistance with Support grant program and homeless shelters, domestic violence shelters.

Good morning, Mr. Chair and Committee Members. Elizabeth Ort, California policy Director for best friends, Animal Society and Munsters fan. Thank you so much for this delightful and informative hearing. We are in full support of AB 1215.

See, some people at home are actually listening to us. Thank you. Any other moderator? Keep going.

Unfortunately, we have no further support or opposition.

How about that, Herman? Come here. Anyway, that's a Munster's reference if anybody cared. All right. Finance.

Finance is currently opposed to 1215, and we believe it creates unknown General Fund cost pressures by establishing a new statutory program without an appropriation. However, we do estimate annual General Fund cost pressures could be in the low millions of dollars.

All right, seeing no questions from my colleagues, without objection, 1215 will move to suspense. AB 1254 by Assembly Member. Flora on state employees compensation. It is a suspense candidate. The author's wave presentation and let's see if anybody wants to talk about 1254. Seeing no one in support, how about opposition? There's no opposition.

AB 1254, press 1 and 0. At this moment, Mr. Chair, we have no support or opposition.

No support or opposition at 1254, but do we have a file?

Finance is currently opposed. AB 1254. We estimate the Bill will cost $537.1 million, of which 330.4 million is General Fund in 23-24 to implement the increased salaries for BU eight rank and file Members employed by CalFire. We believe the costs could increase in future years, up to 99.6 million, of which 61.3 million is General Fund per year. Based on changes.

As we survey fire Department salaries, we would note that this would create significant ongoing costs and would eliminate the state's ability to negotiate salary increases for BU eight Members employed by CAL FIRE through the collective bargaining process.

All right, we've taken our support in our opposition. We've heard from finance. Do we have any questions on 1254? Seeing no questions on 1254, that Bill will move to suspense without objection. Moving on to 1273 by Assembly Member Bonta on classified employees, classified employee staffing ratio workgroup. It is a suspense candidate.

The author's wave presentation will open up the public hearing in room 2200 on 1439, with no one here to speak in favor of 1439, how about opposition of 1439? Seeing no opposition of 1439.

Moderator let's go to the phone line for 1439.

For support or opposition, for AB 1439, press one, then zero. And, Mr. Chair, we have no support or opposition.

No support or opposition. How about I give you a musical question, Mr. Moderator?

Sure.

Which women's musical group had number one hits in the 1980s with Walk Like an Egyptian and Eternal Flame?

That would be the Bengals. And did you know that the Bengals were the second group to have an all female group to have a number one song?

Who was the first?

The first were the Gogos.

The Gogos. But didn't Diana Ross and the Supremes had number ones, so I think they were probably the third. But thank you. All right, moving on. So, 1439. We've taken our support and our opposition, right? How about we come to Finance?

Finance has a neutral position on the Bill, and according to the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee, the Bill would have no fiscal impact on the state.

No fiscal impact. And no questions. Without objection, 1439, we'll move to suspense. AB 1473. Manchine school curriculum, health framework, physical education framework, compression only, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, automated external defibrillators. That's a lot. No, I'm not saying it again. But I will open up the public hearing in this room because the good Assembly Member has waived presentation and it is a suspense candidate. And we have no one wishing to come to the microphone to speak in support of 1473.

And we will go to opposition, and there's nobody who wants to say all those words again, so we have no opposition. Moderator how about we go to the phone line on 1473.

For support or opposition for AB 1473, press one, then zero. And with that, we will go to line 24. Line 24, your line is open.

I'm not sure what the Los Angeles. County and with that, Mr. Chair, we have no further support or opposition.

All right, let's go to Finance on 1473.

No file. No questions. Without objection, 1473 will move to suspense. AB 1487. Santiago on public health, transgender, gender variant and intersex wellness reentry Fund. It is a suspense candidate. The author's waived presentation will open up the public hearing in this room for 1487. For support. We have no support. Do we have opposition testimony? We have no opposition testimony. Let's go to the phone line to see if anyone wants to speak on.

1487 with support of opposition. For 1487, press one, then zero, and we will go to line 16.

Good morning, Mr. Chair. Members, Gregory Kramer on behalf of Disability Rights California in support.

Mr. Chair, we have no further support or opposition.

All right, we've taken support and Opposition of 1487. We'll come to our finance. Do we have a file?

Finance is currently opposed to the Bill. We estimate total costs of approximately $756,000 General Fund to support two positions, and $1.1 million General Fund for evaluation and Technical Assistant contracts, as well as $5 million General Fund to provide the grants to TGI serving organizations.

All right, do we have any questions from my colleagues? Without objection, AB 1487 will move to suspense. AB 1503, by Assemblymember Lee on pupil attendance, excused absences for religious retreats. It is a suspense candidate. The author's wave presentation will open up the public comment in this room on 1503, and we have no one here to speak in favor of this Bill. How about opposition to 1503? Seeing no opposition, how about we go to the phone lines?

Moderator tell us about 1503.

For support or opposition for AB 1503, press one, then zero. And, Mr. Chair, we have no support or opposition.

No support or opposition of 1503. But do we have a file?

No file.

We have no file. And guess what? We have no questions. So without objection, AB 1503 will go to suspense. We're on our last Bill, and I have two Italian related trivia questions. So in 1508, that's our Bill number, AB 1508. Michelangelo signed a contract to paint the Sistine Chapel. Does anyone know how much he was paid in today's dollars to paint the Sistine Chapel? $600,000 would have been his fee for the Sistine Chapel. How about that?

And in 2000, the US Olympic baseball team won the gold medal. It was a surprise. They beat Cuba in the finals. Who was the manager of the Team USA in 2000? It was Tommy Lasorda. See that? See that? All right, AB 1508, we'll open up the public comment in this room with nobody wishing to testify in support. How about opposition to 1508? Michelangelo is not here. So we'll go to the phone lines.

For support or opposition. For AB 1508, press one, then zero on your telephone keypad. And Mr. Chair, we have no support or opposition.

But do we have a file?

Finance is currently opposed to the Bill. We estimate cost of $195,000. General Fund in 24-25 and annually ongoing. And we note that any request for additional resources would need to be evaluated as part of the annual budget development process.

All right, we've taken our comments from Finance. We have no questions from my colleagues. So without objection, AB 1508 will move to the suspense file. That concludes our business for today. We have nothing on call. Our one due pass Bill has passed. I'd like to thank everyone for participating today. Those of you who think the trivia questions were too easy, we'll make them harder next time. And if you want to participate, you can send your comments in. We are always happy to hear from you.

And with that, this Committee will adjourn.
