Assembly Standing Committee on Appropriations
- Chris Holden
Person
Good morning. We would like to welcome you to the September 1, 2023 Assembly Appropriations Committee hearing. We have seven bills to consider this morning as a part of our regular ordered hearing. Immediately following the regular ordered hearing, the Committee will consider the bills on the Committee's suspense file. Before we begin, I have a few Housekeeping notes to cover. We encourage the public to provide written testimony before the hearing by visiting the Committee website at apro.assembly.ca.gov
- Chris Holden
Person
Please note that any written testimony submitted to the Committee is considered public comment and may be read into the record or reprinted. The hearing room is open for attendance. All are encouraged to watch the hearing from its stream on the Assembly website at Assembly.ca.gov/todaysevents. We encourage the public to monitor the Committee's website for updates.
- Chris Holden
Person
We will accept public comment on any Bill placed on the suspense file by the Committee today, for which the author waived presentation before the close of the regularly ordered hearing. Testimony on any such Bill will be limited to statement of name, organization of any in position on the Bill. The Committee will allow no more than 40 minutes of testimony in total.
- Chris Holden
Person
As you came into the hearing room today, the Sergeants directed your attention to the rules for public attendance and participation which were posted outside the door. I encourage Members of the public who are in attendance to be aware of and observe those rules. Please be aware that violations of these rules or other violations of General courtesy or decorum may subject you to removal or other enforcement processes. With that, we will look to see if we have a quorum, and if so, we'll establish it.
- Chris Holden
Person
I don't believe we're there yet. We had our first we are. No, it's not. We're going to move to our presentations this morning as a Subcommittee, and then once we have a quorum, that will establish it and move forward from there. Senator Laird, you were the first to sign in, and you're here to present on SB 544 that enjoys the due pass.
- John Laird
Legislator
There we go. Good morning, Mr. Chair and Members. This is Senate Bill 544, which amends the teleconference requirements in the Bagley-Keene Act, governs how state boards and commissions operate, open meetings. Originally, this Bill extended the Executive Order, the provisions in the Executive Order that were in operation during the pandemic and expired on June 30.
- John Laird
Legislator
There is a budget Bill that is moving and should be acted on next week that would actually extend those provisions further to January 1, and this Bill is about what happens after that. I really want to thank the Committee staff and the Chair for their work on this Bill. Originally, the benefits of the pandemic processes were a reduction of cost in 90%, extended participation to people that didn't have to come to Sacramento, and extended participation to people with disabilities, aging, or who are immunocompromised.
- John Laird
Legislator
There was pushback in the various committee hearings. And in the Go Committee of the Assembly, we took a number of amendments and we made the commitment to take additional amendments. Now, I think we are very close to agreement with the stakeholders, with the committee staff, and with the Administration. And I commit to take the amendments that address the issues on the Assembly Floor. And the major amendment is a physical quorum would be required at one physical location for all meetings. So people would have that there.
- John Laird
Legislator
There are additional ones that would address the exceptions for people with disabilities and the exceptions for people that have medical issues. There would be additional one that addresses the issue of on camera requirements and it would overall maintain the guardrails that people have been asking for, but then still deal with allowing the increased participation that we experienced during the pandemic. And all of these provisions would sunset now at the end of 2026 so that we would have a chance to see how they work.
- John Laird
Legislator
And we are still experiencing a COVID surge right now, so that is still an issue. That is the state of play. I appreciate the work. We want to take the amendments on the Floor that would do it. And with me to testify and support are Carol Schwarzlander from the California Commission on Aging and Ethan Rarick from the Little Hoover Commission. At the appropriate time, I would respect and aye vote on a Dupas motion.
- Karol Swartzlander
Person
Thank you. Thank you, Chair Holden and Members of the committee. My name is Karol Swartzlander, and I am the Executive Director of the California Commission on Aging. The Commission is established in state statute to serve as the principal advocate for older adults in California before the Governor, Legislature, state and federal agencies.
- Karol Swartzlander
Person
So the Commission's interest in this Bill was really to remove barriers for older adults, people with disabilities, or anyone who couldn't travel, to serve on state boards and commissions and be part of the democratic process. So we're really pleased to sponsor this Bill, and we're also pleased that it will have cost savings, particularly to the smaller boards and commissions who don't have a ton of money. So with that, ask for your aye vote. Thank you.
- Ethan Rarick
Person
Thank you, Mr. Chairman and Members. My name is Ethan Rarick. I'm the Executive Director of the Little Hoover Commission, an independent citizen and legislative commission charged with making recommendations for improving state policy. I would echo Ms. Swartzlander's comments based on our experience of using remote technology for meetings and on our survey of other Bagley-Keene agencies. There are no additional costs, really, that are involved, and any additional minor costs are more than offset by fiscal savings in reduced travel costs for boards and commissions. So I respectfully request your aye vote thank you.
- Chris Holden
Person
We'll turn to the public for comment and support or opposition to SB 44544.
- Michael Robson
Person
Good morning. I'm Mike Robson. I'm here on behalf of the Glass Packaging Institute but also speaking for another coalition of other business trade associations in opposition to the Bill, I didn't track all the amendments. Our oppositions based on the policy grounds, essentially, that state boards and commissions make consequential decisions that affect the life, liberty, and property of Californians businesses and individuals.
- Michael Robson
Person
And those decisions should be made in public, in full view of the public, in full view of the stakeholders and the media and other affected parties. And really think this Bill, in the course of amending this Bill, as you pass it out and do it on the floor, there's probably some boards and commissions that are advisory in nature. And those advisory boards, sure, you could make remote participation, make board Member participation a little easier. That's fine.
- Michael Robson
Person
But there are consequential decisions made by major boards and commissions, and those people should show up and do that decision making in public. And we'd ask for your opposition. Thank you.
- Megan White
Person
Good morning. Megan White with the California Privacy Protection Agency. We have a support, if amended, position on the Bill and support accessibility by allowing all board meetings to be held remotely. Thank you so much.
- Tara Thornton
Person
Tara Thornton. Freedom angels. Absolutely in opposition to anything that isn't transparent.
- Chris Holden
Person
Thank you. Seeing no others that would like to comment on the Bill, we'll bring it back to the committee. Are there any questions for the Senator? Seeing none. Is there a motion? This Bill, let me just say, is a due pass recommendation. And I know, Senator, there's an expectation that goes along with this motion that you will continue to work with the opposition to address some of the questions or concerns you heard just a moment ago.
- Chris Holden
Person
But also those are some of the similar concerns that the committee Members hold as well. So we look forward to your engaging on that and making sure that the public's right to directly address their government is in an open and transparent manner, in which I know that that is your goal. Been moved by Mr. Lowenthal. Is there a second 2nd by Mr. Bryan? Senator, you may close.
- John Laird
Legislator
I would just say I make the commitment that you just asked for, Mr. Chair. And I think in response to one of the questions, I was trying to be clear that the amendment that is the premier one will have a majority of people in person at one location at all times, and this will be done in public, and it will be in transparent. And we're really allowing for people with disabilities or emergencies or who are seniors.
- John Laird
Legislator
And we just lost a board Member who withdrew this week for a major board at the state that all of, you know, because of health issues, didn't feel like he could make the commitment to serve on the board. This allows the transparency and allows us to address those issues. And I respectfully request an aye vote.
- Chris Holden
Person
Thank you. The Bill is out on a roll call with Mathis, not voting. We'll put a pin in that action. And first, call the roll to establish a quorum.
- Committee Secretary
Person

Okay. With the preamble that the chair has already recited, this Bill is a due pass. And it's out on a broll called Mathis Not Voting. We will now welcome Senator Bradford. You're here on SB 429, and this Bill is also due pass. Moved by Lowenthal, second by Hart. Thank you. Proceed. You're good? Okay.
- Steven Bradford
Person
Good morning, Mr. Chair, Members. I'm here to present SB 429, which will modernize the current vehicle inspection requirements for TNC drivers by authorizing them to use remote and virtual inspections. This will make work opportunities more accessible to drivers, ensure drivers are compensated for the time it takes to complete their inspections. As noted in the committee's analysis, there are no significant costs associated with this Bill. Here testifying with me today is Lydia Olson with a Rideshare driver, and I respectfully ask for your vote.
- Lydia Olson
Person
Morning, Mr. Chair and Members. As Senator Bradford said, Lydia Olson, Sacramento based rideshare driver of six years, here, speaking in support on behalf of the thousands of California drivers who have written in to support SB 429. This is a great Bill that modernizes the annual vehicle inspection requirement for rideshare drivers. It will fix the access to work issues that many drivers face and will provide new compensation to offset costs that did not exist today. This will save drivers time and money, and we respectfully request your support. Thank you.
- Chris Holden
Person
Thank you.
- Chris Holden
Person

- Chris Holden
Person
I would also like to note that in a number of cases, the committee will designate a Bill as a two year Bill. I'd like to emphasize that such a Bill is not dead. Rather, in committee's view, such a Bill has merit, though the committee believes there are critical issues that need to be resolved before the committee will move the Bill to the Assembly floor. It is the committee's intent that author and stakeholders of any such Bill work together over the next several months to resolve these issues so that the committee may once again consider the Bill in the second half of the 2023-24 legislative session. And with that, let us begin.
- Chris Holden
Person
The first Bill before the committee is Assembly Constitutional Amendment 1 by Assembly Member Aguiar-Curry.
