Senate Standing Committee on Appropriations

Right. Another week would have been good.

Hopefully, this month will go as fast as our break.

That's the plan. We're going to do 90s trivia today. We did the 80s already. We're going to do 90s. Are you ready? You're the best. She gets all the questions. How are you?

I'm tired, but hanging in there. Kind of glad we have the extra week because normally we just have the two weeks after this?

Right. There's a lot to do.

Yes, indeed.

Are we ready? All right. The Senate Appropriations Committee will come to order. We do not have a quorum, so we are going to start as a subcommittee. And for those of you who would like to participate from home, the teleconference participant number is 877-226-8163. [877-226-8163]. And the access code is 161-8051. Again, the access code is 161-8051. We are holding our committee hearing in the O Street Building this morning. Obviously, I want all our members to come down, so we have three. We need one more for a quorum.

Room 2200 is where the action is happening this morning. We have 248 bills on today's agenda. 248 bills, two of which will be up for a due pass motion. The remaining are all suspense candidates. Also AB 1198 [Grayson], which is still listed in the Daily File, will be rescheduled to a later hearing. And obviously, we do not have a quorum yet. I also want to remind all of our witnesses because obviously we do take public testimony on every bill.

If people are here to speak, we're going to limit their testimony to the fiscal aspects of the bill. Please don't relitigate the policy. This is a fiscal matter. And our first looks like we have our Do Pass authors here. See? Where are they on the what page are they on? Mr. Maienschein, you were here first. Is Mr. Rendon okay with you going first?

Yeah, he's really excited about it. He wants to hear, he wanted to hear everything I had to say.

He's the only one in this room that wants to see . . . Your staff laughed at that. Here we go. We have unfair competition and false advertising. It's AB 1366. It is a do pass recommendation. And again, we're not going to take a vote on it because we don't have a quorum, but go ahead and proceed.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair and Members. AB 1366 allows the AG to recover the ill gotten gains of businesses found to be in violation of California's unfair competition and false advertising laws. Any funds awarded by the court will be placed in the Victims of Consumer Fraud Restitution Fund which will help make victims whole when the businesses who defrauded them become insolvent. Businesses should not be allowed to profit off of illegal activity.

In support I don't believe he's here today here yet, but in support was Anthony Liu on behalf of Attorney General Rob Bonta. This Bill has no opposition to bipartisan support. I respectfully request your aye vote.

Wonderful. We have a quorum, so I'm going to go ahead and call a roll and establish our quorum, if I may

Senator Portantino? I'm here. Portantino, here. Senator Jones. Senator Ashby. Senator Bradford? Here. Bradford, here. Senator Seyarto? Here. Seyarto, here. Senator Wahab? Here. Wahab, here. Senator Weiner.

Family Matters. Look at that. See?

See, I gave you an easy one. All right, Mr. Speaker, tell us about your Bill.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair, Members, and particularly for whispering the answer. AB 1288 prohibits commercial health plans insurers from imposing prior authorization before patients can access medication assisted treatment for substance use disorders, including related to opioids. Prior authorization requirements create unnecessary barriers that delay or interrupt access to effective treatment. This measure is needed to address the current overdose crisis in our state and save lives.

All right, do you have any speakers?

Unless there's questions? No.

Okay, so we'll open up for public comment. This is AB 1288 on healthcare coverage medication assisted treatment. Is there? Come on up.

Good morning, Mr. Chair. Craig Pulsipher on behalf of Equality California, proud co sponsor. In support.

Nicole Wordelman, on behalf of The Children's Partnership. Also in support.

Any more support? How about opposition? Come on up.

My name is Beth Bourne. I am a Member of Our Duty. I am a mother of a daughter who used to believe she was a boy. She is on her way back to reality. What her teachers told her and supported behind my back was a significant factor in her gender confusion. I will blame them should she harm her perfect body with experimental drugs and irreversible surgeries. AB 5 will cost the state $10 million annually with no educational benefit.

Forcing teachers to learn gender theory will only serve to confuse kids. The analysis neglected to address many of the costs. What about the cost from the decrease in enrollment as parents homeschool or leave the state? It missed the cost of teacher attrition. Teachers will continue to leave the profession because they will not lie to parents or harm a child by affirming a delusion. Teachers will file lawsuits like two did in Escondido. It does not mention the parents' lawsuits. Jennifer Conan sued her school for indoctrinating her daughter.

She recently accepted a generous settlement. There are lawsuits related to sexualizing kids in schools. Lawsuits about the sex-ed curriculum not being appropriate for an age. There will be lawsuits by parents and school boards about forcing obscene materials and inaccurate books at our schools. In the UK, right now, there is a class action being filed against the Department of Education for promoting gender confusion. More transgenderism into the schools equals more kids being harmed in more lawsuits. Parents are not forgiving, nor are we afraid.

We know the flow of the money from taxpayers to schools, to the trans activists, to the medical complex and the advocacy groups, and then back to you. We know that our children are just dollar signs. We know that you know that Europe is stopping this abomination, but you are transiting as many kids as you can to exact the last pound of flesh from the house of cards before it collapses. What is the true cost of AB 5? Will it be a generation of children? Are you willing to Fund that?

For the record, you were at two minutes and four. So if it could be two minutes, that would be great.

My name is Allie Snyder. In accordance with Our Duty's opposition, I oppose AB 5. California went from a surplus to a $32 billion deficit, but per the analysis, now proposes to spend $1.3 million on a portal to indoctrinate teachers in quasireligious gender beliefs. AB 5 will cost $487,000 for maintenance and another $8 million annually to compel participation in the cult currently responsible for sterilizing and mutilating children.

$10 million added to the already $10 million spent over the last three years under AB 493 to advance harmful confusion in kids and instruct teachers to keep secrets from parents. Assembly Member Zbur, formerly of Equity California, one of the gender medical industry's largest lobby groups in the state, appears to believe it is vital to instruct children to destroy their healthy bodies if they don't fit homophobic stereotypes. This despite the fact that since California began mandating gender indoctrination, suicide ideation amongst kids has reached historic highs.

Only 33% of students are proficient in math. Only 47.1% met English standards, with Hispanic and Black students in the range of 16%. How will you explain to parents you plan to spend money we do not have to convince kids they may have been born in the wrong body instead of improving their reading, writing and arithmetic. On that note, how will Governor Newsom, Superintendent Thurmond, and Attorney General Bonta justify threatening parents who attempt to remove porn from schools? This Book is Gay.

A book defended in the footnotes of their letter from August 1, teaches how to use sex apps and perform sex acts in language targeting kids. It is currently available for twelve year olds in my son's school. When I testified on this, a member implied my quotes weren't sufficient for them to comment, so my colleague delivered copies to their office.

Thank you.

Perhaps Newsom. Thurmond and Bonta need copies as well. Thank you.

Thank you. We've taken two primary witnesses on this subject, so if any future opposition witnesses could just do their name, their organization, and their position.

And Mr. Chair, we have no further support or opposition in queue.

All right, we've taken support and opposition. 662.

Finance is currently opposed to AB 662. We would note the California Public Utilities Commission has a cost of $350,000 one time from the Public Utilities Commission utilities reimbursement account. We would also note that we believe that there are several of the bill's provisions that are duplicative of efforts that are already underway.

All right, we've heard from Finance. No questions from my colleagues. Without objection, 662 will move to suspense. AB 716 by Assembly Member Boerner on ground medical transportation is the suspense candidate. The author's waived presentation. We'll open up the public comment in this room for support of 716.

Thank you. Next, we'll go to line 79. Line 79, your line is open.

All right, Finance, tell us about AB 50.

Finance is neutral on AB 50. However, we would note that the CPUC estimates that the Bill will cost 1.16 million from the Public Utilities Commission Utilities Reimbursement account. 1.1 million of that is ongoing. 16,000 is one time to open up rulemaking. The Department of Finance is neutral on the Bill, as it does streamline enhance the process of providing electric services to customers, particularly in consideration of current backlogs and delays. So we believe the benefits of the Bill outweigh the costs.

All right, we've heard from Finance. We have no questions, so without objection, AB 50 will move to suspense. AB 286, also by Dr. Wood on broadband infrastructure mapping. It's a suspense candidate. The authors or the doctor's waived presentation. Looks like we have a witness in support.

No one in queue. Let's come back to Finance on AB 51.

Finance is currently opposed to AB 51. We would note cost of the Department of Education of $1.6 million. One time General Fund in 24 25 and $1.5 million ongoing General Fund in 25 26 for nine positions. The University of California also notes costs of three to $4,000,000.01 time General Fund in 24 25 to complete the study.

All right, we have finished with Finance. Seeing no questions from my colleagues, without objection, AB 51 will move to suspense. Does anybody know what the most successful pinball machine was of all time? Pinball machine? Pinball machine. No, not even close. Think about it. Pinball machine. I was surprised. It was actually it was in 1990 and it came out in the 1990s. It was the Addams family. Believe it or not, the Addams family is the most sold pinball machine. Who knew?

Finance is currently opposed to 1148. We note that it has unknown General Fund costs in the low to mid hundreds of millions of dollars to the Department of Child Support Services. The Department of Corrections, however, does indicate no fiscal impact.

All right, seeing no questions from my colleagues, without objection, 1148 will move to suspense. AB 1186, juvenile restitution, the suspense candidate. The authors waived presentation also by Assembly Member Bonta. And we'll open up the public hearing for support of 1186. Seeing no support, how about opposition of 1186?

All right, Finance. Tell us about 882.

Finance is currently opposed to AB 882. While the conservancy has stated they anticipate no fiscal impact for the Bill, we are opposed because we believe it's premature pending the outcomes of the advanced payment pilot that is currently underway.

All right, no questions or comments on 882. Without objection. And we'll move to suspense. AB 966 by Assembly Member Davies, division of Boating and Waterways: report to the Legislature.

All right, we've taken support and opposition of 966. How about we go to Finance?

Finance is currently opposed to 966. We would note the Department of Parks and rec estimate a cost of $75,000.01 time General Fund for consulting and the State Coastal Conservancy estimates a $200,000.01 time General Fund and half of a PY, half of a position ongoing. We would note that the 2022 and 2023 budgets did provide a combined total of $930,000,000 General Fund to the state Coastal Conservancy for coastal resilience project. And while the funding isn't specifically dedicated to coastal erosion projects funded through these appropriations would significantly impact this assessment.

All right, we've heard from Finance. We have no questions. Without objection, 966 will move to suspense. AB 80 Addis coastal resources, ocean research. It is a suspense candidate. The authors wave presentation. Looks like we have support. Come on up.

Thank you. For in support or opposition of AB 80, you may press one and the zero. We'll go to line 58. Your line is open. Line 58, your line is open. We will move on to line 124. Is your line open? Did you check your mute button? Line 124? Mr. Chair, we have no further support in queue.

Finance tell us about AB 80.

Finance is currently opposed to AB 80. The Ocean Protection Council estimates the Bill requires at least two positions and significant but unknown costs to establish the entity, facilitate the steering committee, and compensate the committee for their participation. While we note that the Bill is subject to appropriations, it does create ongoing General Fund cost pressures. The Department of Fish and Wildlife and State Lands Commission do anticipate just minor and absorbable costs.

All right, we've heard from folks on AB 80. We have no questions. So without objection, we will move AB 80 to the Suspense file. We have two bills on call. I'm going to list the call on both of those bills. So if you could call the roll, that would be great.

AB 1288, the motion is due passed to the Senate floor chair voting aye. Senator Jones? Senator Wiener? Wiener aye.

That Bill is out five to zero. We'll close the roll on that.

AB 1366, the motion is due pass to the Senate floor chair voting aye. Senator Jones? Jones aye. Senator Wiener? Wiener aye.

That Bill is out seven to zero. So those are our two due pass bills that were on the docket. We'll go back to our Suspense file items with AB 318, though, should I ask Mr. Wiener a question since he just got here? So, Mr. Wiener, if you were a kid in the 1990s, you probably begged your parents to buy you a box of a fruity gummy candy that unleashed an explosion of gooey flavor when you bit into it. What were they called?

I was definitely in my 20s, but I know what you're talking about and I just can't...She whispered it to me. Gushers. That was cheating, though. That was cheating.

So that one I know as a good environmentalist. I'll give you another one here. What is the name of the last rainforest in the title of the 1992 film, which actually also was Avatar? Before Avatar, it was an animated film. The magical characters of this forest try to save their homes from logging and pollution. 1992 animated movie was called Fern Gully. By the way, if you watch Fern Gully, it's actually Avatar. They stole the whole plot from Fern Gully and made it Avatar.

Anyway, let's go back to our, you were 0 for 2, but we'll get you. I'll find a music one for you later. You're usually good on music. All right. AB 318 Addis mobile home residency law protection acted as a suspense candidate. You know what? I should have given you the San Francisco one.

Yeah.

Before you go, I'll give you the San Francisco. Lindt expanded their chocolate empire in 1990s when they acquired what? Lindt? The chocolateier. What did they buy? Founded by Italian immigrants? Ghiradelli. Lindt bought in the 1990s. I had to give him a chance to redeem himself. All right. We are on AB 318 Addis Mobile Home Residency Law Protection Act. It's a suspense candidate.

The authors waive presentation and we will open up the public comment here in room 2200 for support of 318. Seeing no one come to support how about opposition of 318? Seeing no opposition, how about we go to the phone line and see if anybody wants to speak about AB three one eight.

Thank you. For support or opposition of AB 318, you may press one and then zero. We will go to line 58. Your line is open.

Good morning, Mr. Chair Members. Chris Wysocki with Western Manufactured Housing Communities Association. And we are opposed unless amended. In March, the JLAC approved an audit of the Mrlpp. It's supposed to be finished by the end of the year. We think a one year extension of this program is more appropriate. Don't take primary testimony on the phone line. Thank you. Anyone else?

Thank you. We have no further support or opposition. Thank you.

But we will go to Finance.

Finance is currently opposed to AB 3118. While the Department of Housing and Community Development estimates costs to the Bill are minor and absorbable, we would note by extending the program, it's going to leave HCD without sufficient administrative funding. We would note the funding is about a million dollars short each year between the fees collected and the expenditures between the time period of 2024 to 2027.

Alright, we've taken Support, Opposition, and Finance, and we have no questions. So without objection 318, we'll move to suspense. AB 452 Addis on Childhood sexual assault: statute of limitations. It's a suspense candidate; the author is waive presentation. We'll open up the public hearing in this room for support. We'll see if anybody wants to talk to us. How about opposition?

Seeing no opposition of 1147, we will go to the phone line.

Good afternoon, Mr. Chair and Members. Gregory Cramer on behalf of Disability Rights California in support of AB 1147. Thank you.

Thank you. And we have no further support or opposition in queue.

Alright. Finance 1147.

No file, no questions. Without objection, 1147 will move to suspense. Here's an interesting question. So with all of the concerns about absentee voting, do you know in Texas in 1997, they let somebody vote in an unprecedented way for the first time? It had never happened before. Somebody got to vote from who knows where. Space. They let somebody vote from space. They passed the law to allow somebody to vote from space.

No file.

But how about just letting people drop off ballots at a dropbox? Interesting irony there, isn't there? I love my job. Anyway, we're moving on to AB 1407 Coastal Resources, and I see we have support coming up to the microphone to the good author's waive presentation. And it's a suspense candidate. So tell us why we should support this bill.

Support.

Support. Alright, anyone else?

We have no further support or opposition. Thank you.

And Finance, tell us about 1407.

Yes, Finance is currently opposed to AB 1407. We would note cost to the Ocean Protection Council of 190,000 dollars and one position ongoing as well. As they have noted, significant General Fund resources are needed to meet the goals of the proposal. In addition, the California Coastal Commission estimates a need for 272,000 dollars General Fund ongoing for one permanent position in a consultant role. The State Lands Commission and Department of Fish and Wildlife and State Coastal Conservancy both are all estimate costs would be minor and absorbable.

Alright, we've heard from Finance on 1407. I see no questions from my colleagues. Without objection, that bill will move to suspense. AB 86 Jones-Sawyer Homelessness: Statewide Homeless Coordinator.
