Members of Quorum is present. With the Members and our guests beyond the rail and in the gallery, please rise. We'll be led in prayer this morning by our chaplain, Sister Michelle Gorman, after which please remain standing. And we'll be led in the Pledge of Allegiance.

In her poem "A Brave and Startling Truth," Maya Angelou tells us a startling truth about ourselves as humans, that we have the ability to create peace and freedom for all. She says, "we this people on a small and lonely planet, traveling through casual space to a destination where all signs tell us it is possible and imperative that we learn a brave and startling truth.

And when we come to it, we, this people on this minuscule and kithless globe, who reach daily for the bomb, the blade and the dagger, yet who petition in the dark for tokens of peace. Out of such chaos, out of such contradiction, we learn that we are neither devils nor divines.

And when we come to it, we, this people on this wayward floating body, have the power to fashion for this Earth a climate where every man and every woman can live freely without sanctimonious piety, without crippling fear. When we come to it, we must confess that we are the possible, we are the miraculous, the true wonder of this world. That is when, and only when, we come to it."

Gracious God, give us the courage to trust in our ability to create peace and may we all take steps necessary to achieve it. Amen.

Members, join us in the flag salute. I pledge allegiance. All right, Members, we're moving to privileges of the floor. There are none. Messages from the Governor will be deemed read.

Secretary, you may read.

Senate Bill 253 by Senator Wiener in act relating to greenhouse gases and making an appropriation therefore.

Senator Wiener.

Hi. Thank you very much, Mr. President, Colleagues. SB 253 is back on concurrence. This is the Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act, which will require all U.S. based companies doing business in California with gross annual revenue over one billion dollars to report their full greenhouse gas footprint to the California Air Resources Board. Amendments in the Assembly do several things, including provide a safe harbor for scope 3 reporting to ensure that good faith mistakes are not penalized, delay scope 3 by one year, provide a three year delay in scope 3 penalties, minimize duplication by allowing submission of reports prepared for any other emissions reporting requirements, as well as other technical changes to make implementation of this bill as seamless as possible.

Colleagues, we have growing support from this bill in the business community, including major corporations like Levi's and Amalgamated Bank and Google and Apple and Salesforce and Microsoft, and a huge coalition of major apparel brands. This is an idea whose time has come.

Thirty percent of S&P 500 companies are already doing this. It's time to level the playing field and have transparency for the public. I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Senate Bill 2 by Senator Portantino in act relating to firearms.

Senator Portantino.

Thank you, Mr. President and Members, I'm proud to have SB 2 unconcealed carry weapons licensing back on concurrence. The amendments that provide time for the DOJ to modernize the transmittal and processing of renewal applications, which will provide ongoing cost savings and address chaptering out issues. So the Bill is significantly the same as the way it left this House, and I respectfully ask for an aye vote on concurrence.

Ayes 28. Noes eight. The Assembly amendments are concurred in now. Members, we move into file item 45. Madam Pro-TEM. She's prepared.

Secretary you may read Senate Bill 447 by Senator Atkins and Acquiring to Economic Development and declaring the urgency thereof to take effect immediately.

Senator Pro-TEM.

Thank you, Mr. President. Colleagues, Members, SB 447 is back for concurrence in Assembly amendments. This Bill will lift California's travel ban and create in its place the Bridge Project, a nonpartisan marketing program that could be used in other states to emphasize the value of inclusion and acceptance of the LGBTQ plus community.

Assembly amendments require the Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development to convene an Advisory Committee to advise on Bridge Project media campaigns, specifically that state employees would not be required to travel to states with discriminatory laws as a result of this Bill. And it added an urgency clause, with nearly 500 anti LGBTQ plus bills having been introduced in the legislatures nationwide this year alone.

Now, more than ever, I think we need to reach into those communities with messages of support, inclusivity, and understanding, messages to encourage kindness, compassion, and peace. Colleagues, SB 447, the Bridge Project is the positive approach, and it's the positive tool that California needs. It's the positive message that the rest of the nation needs to hear, see, and feel. I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Ayes 31, no six on the urgency. Ayes 31 no six on the concurrence of Assembly amendments now moving on to file item 68. Senator Cortese. He is prepared. Secretary, you may read.

Senate Bill 553 by Senator Cortese in accolading to occupational safety.

Senator, floor is yours.

Thank you. Mr. President and colleagues arise today to bring back on concurrence SB 553, a Bill designed to address workplace violence through California's existing injury illness prevention plans. This Bill will ensure each employer simply has a plan relative to their business on how they will respond to incidents of workplace violence. All mentions of security, personnel, shoplifting and confrontation have been removed from the Bill.

These amendments adopted in the Assembly, removed opposition from all business entities on file, including the Chamber of Commerce, California Retailers Association, and the American Petroleum Convenience Store Association. The Bill will Institute new protections for California workers utilizing key provisions of the most recent Cal OSHA draft industry standards. I appreciate the authentic dialogue between my office workers and businesses of all sizes, united in the goal of addressing workplace violence. And for this reason, I respectfully ask for your aye vote. Thank you.

Any further discussion or debate, Senator Dahle?

Thank you, Mr. President. Members, I stand in opposition to this Bill. This Bill does basically four things and the amendments in the Assembly. One requires employers to train their employees. Number two, hire a security detail for their businesses. And it does nothing to really stop the theft, which is what's driving up the cost for these business owners. And that's the reasons I stand with the over 1,500 business owners that showed up here opposing this piece of legislation. For those reasons, I strongly oppose SB 553 and ask for a no vote.

Thank you. Any further discussion or debate on this item, hearing and seeing none. Senator Cortese, would you like to close?

Thank you again, Mr. President, just to correct the record, the Bill does not and never has in any form mandated the hiring of security, part of the misinformation that made this Bill a little bit difficult along the way. But with that said, again, I respectfully ask for your aye vote. Thank you.

Secretary please call the roll on file, item 68.

Senate Bill 27 by Senator Durazo in accolade to contracts.

Senator Durazo.

Thank you, Mr. President. I am presenting SB 27 for concurrence from the Assembly. SB 27 creates an ability for employees to recover their earned but unpaid wages. The Bill provides an enforcement mechanism for the UC policy. The University of California established an equal pay for equal work policy, which requires vendor companies to pay their company employees the wages and benefits equal to what UC pays the service workers it employs.

Senator Min.

Thank you, Mr. President. SB 704 would amend the Coastal Act to remove the industrial override loophole.

Senator Umberg floor is yours.

Thank you, Mr. President. Colleagues, this Bill emerges from the scandal. In connection with the purported sale or attempted sale of Anaheim Stadium. It simply closes some loopholes in the Surplus Lands Act. It was amended Assembly to add technical and clarifying amendments. Urge an aye vote.

We're going to Assembly, third reading file item 166. Senator Dodd. Are you prepared? No. Secretary. You may read.

Assembly Bill 701 by Assemblymember Villapudua in accolade to control substances.

Senator Dodd.

Thank you, Mr. President. Members, I'm proud to present, or I'm sure Mr. Villapudua is proud to have me present his Bill, AB 701 to start holding fentanyl traffickers accountable and save lives across California. AB 701 provides equity to our drug enforcement by adding fentanyl to a list of controlled substances which enhanced sentences may be levied against those in possession of a kilogram or more of the drug.

The author recently took amendments to address concerns that the state, the trafficker would have known that they were in possession of a controlled substance in order to be convicted. Respectfully ask for your aye vote thank you.

Any further discussion? Senator Jones?

Thank you, Mr. President and Members, I also rise in support of AB 701. The fentanyl crisis continues to devastate our communities as drug dealers profit, 110 Californians are dying every week from fentanyl overdosing. It's time to hold these deadly drug dealers accountable. Under this Bill, fentanyl will rightly be categorized as a controlled substance and the big drug dealers in possession of at least a kilo of fentanyl could face additional prison time. For reference, a kilo of fentanyl has the potential to kill 500,000 Californians.

This Bill is by no means a panacea to the fentanyl crisis. Much work remains to hold all deadly drug dealers accountable, including smaller dealers that are killing Californians with this lethal drug. However, AB 701 is a step in the right direction to holding the biggest drug dealers on our streets accountable. I ask for an aye vote. Thank you, Mr. President.

Thank you. Any further discussion, Senator Nguyen?

Thank you, Mr. President. I rise also today as a proud principal coauthor in support of AB 701. As community across California continues to reel from the death and destruction caused by the fentanyl crisis, the need for us to act is still very urgent as ever. As I've mentioned before, 100 Californians die per week. That will equal to approximately 6000 by the end of this year.

In response to the hurting families and victims who were lost to this deadly substance, I introduced Assembly Bill 1955 in 2022 and also now SB 62 this year. But unfortunately, both of those bills were defeated. However, I'm so happy and excited that AB 70 one, which was motto after both of my bills, is now nearing the finish line and enjoys bipartisan support.

I'm relieved to see that we are finally making progress towards holding dealers and traffickers accountable and doing right by those who have been impacted by the fentanyl crisis. On behalf of my colleagues in the Assembly and in memories of those who have been lost to the fentanyl crisis, I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Thank you. Any further discussion or debate on this item enter seeing none. Senator Dodd, would you like to close? Members, this is eligible for unanimous roll call. Is there any objection to using a unanimous roll call on file item 166, seeing none. Ayes 38. No, zero. The measure passes. Now moving on Members, to file item 80. Senator McGuire, we're going to pass. Are you ready?

Senator Skinner she's not Members, we're going to need you to be ready at your desk when we call your item. So we're going to take a Senator Skinner, are you prepared? Now. It. Next up is file item 87 by Senator Skinner. She's prepared.

Assembly Bill 1726 by Assemblymember Kalra in accolade to crimes.

Senator Skinner.

Thank you, Mr. President. Members, AB 1726 clarifies that record clearing provisions under former penal code Section 65 3.22 and 647 F are workable for immigration purposes. This clarification is needed because, under federal law, proceedings can still be based on a vacated conviction unless the reason is due to a legal or procedural defect. And so if state law does not explicitly state that reason, a conviction can remain even though the state has erased it.

AB 1726 ensures that everyone has full access to the post conviction relief that we, the Legislature, have provided in our previous legislative actions. Recent amendments removed all opposition, and I ask for your aye vote.

Thank you. Any further discussion or vote?

Senator Nguyen President, I have amendments at the desk.

All right. Secretary, please read.

Amendments by Senator Nguyen. Set one.

Senator Nguyen.

Thank you, Mr. President. AB 1726 to address an issue that has been shimmering for years and is now boiling up. Retail theft not only endangers consumers and worker, but it also adds costs to retailers and consumers. According to Capital One shopping, retailers in California lose an estimated $7.8 billion in annual revenue to theft, resulting in more than $560,000,000 in retail sales dollars. California retailers and consumers are fed up and increasingly frustrated with inaction.

Here are just a few recent stories of the rampant retail theft happening around the state. The owner of a jewelry store in Pasadena said a group of smash and grabbers made off with half $1.0 million worth of jewelry in broad daylight. In May, employees of a jewelry store in my district in Huntington Beach fought back when a group of thefts attempted a smash-and-grab heist. The siblings who worked there said they always knew this kind of thing is a possibility.

In Sacramento, shoppers are paying the price for retail theft. This amendment is overdue and will enhance public safety by allowing a serial theft to be charged with a felony if they have three or more prior theft-related convictions and are convicted a fourth time of a theft-related offense. These amendments ensure this possibility in a reality in California, and that does not go ignore. Mr. President, permission to read?

Permission granted.

Thank you. Orange County District Attorney outlines this situation clearly, saying these robberies are killing the tax base and are forcing stores to close all across the state. No one is going to want to shop anymore. Retails as we know it will soon be over unless we severely punish those who are committing these crimes. California deserves to shop in safety, and business owners simply want to run their businesses in safety to not only for the customer but to also protect their employees. Thank you, Mr. President.

Senator McGuire.

Thank you so much. Mr. President. This is a common sense Bill that builds upon other pieces of legislation. Would respectfully ask to lay the amendments on the table. Would request an aye vote.

Thank you, Mr. President.

All right now, Members next up is file item 94. Senator Wilk. He's ready. Secretary. You may read Assembly Bill 1043 by Assemblymember Essayli in accolade to real property. Senator Wilk.

Thank you, Mr. President. You're doing a fine job. Today I rise to present AB 1043 on behalf of Assembly Minister Sally which aims to protect borrowers from borrow from surplus chasers individuals who exploit vulnerable borrowers through foreclosure by offering to collect surplus funds for them. These surplus funds are the remaining equity after a mortgage and fees are paid following a trustee's sale. Surplus chasers often charge exorbitant fees for their services sometimes up to 40% of the surplus funds.

Even though these services are already provided for by law, AB 1043 will restrict surplus chasers from seeking to collect a borrower's surplus funds until 90 days after the trustee's deed has been recorded giving trustees time to find the appropriate borrower and send them their surplus funds without having to pay surplus chasers. This Bill aims to protect borrowers from having their equity and surplus funds unnecessarily reduced and ensure that they receive the full amount of surplus funds they are entitled to under the law. Respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Any further discussion or debate on this item hearing and seeing none. Members, this is eligible for unanimous roll call. There's an objection. Senator Eggman has an objection. Please call the roll.

Secretary, please read when I'm not. Assembly Bill 690 by Assemblymember Chen in accolading to professions and vocations. Senator Wilk.

Thank you, Mr. President. Today I rise to present AB 690 on behalf of Assemblymember Chen. Legal Document Assistants, also called LDAs, are experienced professionals who are authorized to 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 and multiple times since. Thank you, Mr. President. I appreciate that. Although I don't think he heard you. More than 1000 LDAs are currently registered in California according to the California Association of Illegal Document Assistance. AB 690 allows LDAs to continue their work to help self-filers access the legal system by extending the sunset date on the statutes authorizing and regulating LDAs for six more years. With that, I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Thank you. Any further discussion or debate on this item? Hearing Members, this is eligible for unanimous roll call. Is there any objection to using a unanimous roll call on file item 83? Hearing, seeing none. Ayes 38. No zero. The measure passes. Now, Members, we're moving on to file item 107. Senator Gonzalez. She is prepared. Secretary, you may read. Assembly Bill 907 by Assemblymember Lowenthal and accolades to healthcare coverage. Senator Gonzalez.

Thank you, Mr. President. And Members, I rise today to present AB 907 On behalf of Assemblymember Lowenthal. AB 907 requires a healthcare service plan, contract or health insurance policy to provide coverage for treatment of pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorder associated with streptococcal infections, or PANDAS.

Pandas and pans are inflammatory diseases of the brain that result in sudden onset behavioral and neurological dysfunction. And despite pandas and pans treatment guidelines that established the standard of care in 2017, health insurance plans forbid authorization of these treatments. I respectfully ask for an aye vote on AB 907.

Ayes 33. No, zero. The measure passes. Now, moving on to file item 108. Senator Laird. He's prepared. Secretary, you may read Assembly Bill 985 by Assembly Member Arambula and acquiring to air pollution Senator Larett.

Thank you very much, Mr. President. I'm presenting AB 985 on behalf of Assemblymember Arambula. When the Clean Air Act was adopted in the 1970s, it created emission reduction credit programs based on the notion that polluters could voluntarily use a system of pollution credits resulting in the reduction of emissions. It was a credit market. It was similar to what we now know as cap and trade.

Unfortunately, reports have shown that serious discrepancies with credits exist that have been validated and have existed over a long time over the 40 years since that adoption. This is important because credits from the past are used to offset emissions in the future, even credits from the distant past. After looking into this, the California Air Resources Board agreed what this Bill would do is direct CARB to finish the job that was started to ensure that all credits in the San Joaquin Valley Air District program are valid.

CARB and the air district must ensure that the system is functioning as intended, transparently and fairly. I respectfully request an aye vote.

President and colleagues, I am pleased to present AB 1637 on behalf of Assemblymember Irwin, which protects Californians from fraud and misinformation by requiring cities and counties to migrate their public websites and emails to Gov or CA gov by January 1, 2029. Various cities in California started out decades ago using .com and, and this makes them vulnerable to fraudsters who can easily register either domain to impersonate local agencies. We shouldn't leave it to individual cities and counties to have a problem before we create consumer confidence.

How many times have you looked at the end of a domain to determine legitimacy? After 2029, all cities and counties would end in gov. AB 1637 gives five years to cities and counties to plan and budget for this migration. Aligning with the common timelines to refresh it. Services I respectfully urge your aye vote. Thank you.

Thank you. Any further discussion or debate on this item, Senator Jones? No. Okay. Hearing and seeing none. Secretary please call the roll.

Thank you very much, Mr. President. AB 1645, as I'm presenting on behalf of Assembly Member Zbur, is sponsored by Equality California, our Insurance Commissioner [who gave me this lovely scarf], the Los Angeles LGBT Center, and the San Francisco AIDS Foundation. And a few months ago, you may have seen that a federal judge struck down some protections for preventative care in the Affordable Care Act.

While we do have some protections in California, we want to make sure the case in Texas doesn't further put our folks at risk because some of our laws are based upon federal protections. So this is about protecting Californians to make sure everybody has preventative health care, especially as it relates to STDs and such. That's why Chabur, as we all know, that's who says how much things cost, says there is clear and convincing evidence of this medical effectiveness.

Barriers to preventing care force people to choose between expensive, devastating health care problems before putting food on their table. I ask for your aye vote.

Assembly Bill 520 by Assembly Member Santiago in act relating to employment.

Good afternoon.

I rise to present 520 on behalf of Assembly Member Santiago. This bill is simply about protecting our property service workers. Currently, these workers are vulnerable to wage theft, sexual harassment, and workplace injuries due to the subcontracted nature of that industry. Building service companies offer lower wages for workers and violate minimal standards and labor laws to remain competitive in a high supply industry with limited contracts. This bill would hold public entities jointly liable for wage theft violations committed by property service companies.

Property service workers who clean and protect our public space should receive the same protections as those who work in the private sector. On behalf of the author, I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Assembly Bill 537 by Assembly Member Berman in act relating to advertising.

Senator Glazer.

Thank you, Mr. President, Members. This bill by Assembly Member Berman would require lodging establishments to disclose the real costs of a stay at their place, including these junk fees that we all have been getting and unfortunately, more and more used to seeing. Now amendments that were taken in this House exempts government taxes. Exempts government taxes. Many of you have raised that concern, and that is in the bill as an exemption.

I have a bill that mirrors this one that passed the Senate 40 to zero earlier this year. This is a good bill that would provide some consumers protection in the marketplace. With that, I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Assembly Bill 571 by Assembly Member Petrie-Norris in act relating to insurance.

Senator Becker.

Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen of the Senate, I rise to present AB 571 on behalf of Assembly Member Petrie-Norris. This is an FAB Council priority bill to reduce barriers that healthcare providers face when trying to offer reproductive health services here in California. Since the Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs, one in three women in this country has lost abortion access. This means more and more women from other states are coming to California in need of reproductive care.

One of the major barriers to reproductive access is the cost and availability of liability insurance for providers. Reproductive health care providers often charge an arbitrary surcharge, or even denied liability insurance altogether because they offer abortions or gender affirming services. This bill prohibits that discrimination and will help ensure that health providers are able to obtain liability insurance and serve their patients. I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Assembly Bill 664 by Assembly Member Lee an act relating to drinking water.

Senator Gonzalez, floor is yours.

Thank you. Mr. President and colleagues, I rise today to present AB 664 on behalf of Assemblymember Lee. 10 years after the Legislature enacted legislation declaring a human right to water, an estimated 1 million Californians still lack access to safe drinking water. Many are from disadvantaged communities, and many renters are also in these communities that do not have safe drinking water.

The requirement for SAB 664 only applies if renters rely on their wells as their sole source of drinking water, and only if a well owner turns down an offer for the state. For resources that come with participating in a drinking water system consolidation. I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Any further discussion or debate on this item, Senator Dahle.

Thank you, Mr. President. Members, I unfortunately have to rise in opposition to this Bill, and for a few reasons. Number one, there's no ability to be able to cure. The person who owns the well is going to have to pay outright. They can't pass on a fee to their customers, and so the StateWater Resource Control Board is going to come in and make them test, but there's no ability for them to actually be able to raise the resources to actually cure the problem.

And it's just going to exacerbate the issue where we have these wells in California where we have bad drinking water and no way for them to actually help their customers by the ability to be able to cure. So for those reasons, I oppose AB. 664,

Thank you. Any further discussion or debate on this item? Seeing none. Senator Gonzalez, would you like to close?

I thank my colleague from Beaver, but I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Thank you, Members now we're going to move back to unfinished business. Senate concurrence. We're going to take up items 12 and 33. Item 12 by Senator Allen. He's prepared. Secretary you may read.

Senate Bill 389 by Senator Allen an act relating to Water.

Senator Allen.

Thank you, Mr. President. Members, I rise to present SB 389 on concurrence, which, as you may recall, will provide the State Water Board with the ability to verify the existence and scope of claims to senior Water rights. I'm happy to share that through productive conversations in the Assembly with the former opposition coalition, they are now moved to neutral. And I do want to personally thank them for their commitment to working with us.

This is ultimately aimed at ensuring that our system operates in the way that it's supposed to before we run out of time to fix it. And I respect faster. And aye vote.

Senator Eggman.

Thank you very much. Question of the author?

Yes.

Will you take a question?

Absolutely.

Well, yes, I want to thank you very much for all the significant work you've done on this. As you know, I have not supported this Bill multiple times, but I just want to make sure that the due process protections built into your Bill not only to whether there has been a trespass under the Water Code Section 1052, but also to whether or not any unlawful diversion and use has occurred.

And by that I mean any diverter facing a trespass proceeding will be able to present evidence and argument that he or she has not unlawfully diverted water.

Through the chair? Absolutely. You're absolutely correct. So there are some cross references that were added to the Bill that ensure due process protections. That was a big part of the negotiations with the opposition. So these due process protections provide a diverter claimant with the opportunity to present evidence and argument during the trespass proceeding that they haven't diverted water unlawfully and they have a valid water right under the laws of the state.

So any enforcement proceeding would then be conducted using the procedure, establish an existing law as was outlined in the recent amendment. So it's all about ensuring that there's good due process for those claimants.

On my own time, Mr. President.

On your own time.

Thank you very much. I just want to thank the author for his hard work on this. My county and the Delta counties. And as you know, we rarely vote on water issues, but respect and appreciate all the work you've done, and I'll be voting I today. Thank you.

Thank you, Senator. I appreciate that.

Thank you. Senator Alvarado Gill.

Thank you. I rise today in opposition of Senate Bill 389. Although I have a lot of esteem and respect for my colleague from Santa Monica, I understand he has made a lot of amendments to this Bill, not only to make it more palatable for the rural communities and the Central Valley of California. I feel that it still falls short of the intent of ensuring that water rights are protected.

This Bill does continue to process weakened water rights here in California for the generations of families and farmers throughout our state. While we have done very little in terms of the Legislature in water storage, we are preparing and preparing for a long term water plan. We continue to instead vote on weakening water rights for our residents, giving enormous power to unelected bodies. So I urge a no vote on this Bill. Thank you.

Thank you, Senator Cortese.

Thank you, Mr. President. I'm going to ask if the author be willing to answer a question.

Absolutely.

Thank you. Through the President. Senator Allen. My early concerns about the Bill had to do with very specific, particular opposition that was coming from Grazeland folks, cattlemen and so forth, as a nomenclature cattlemen's Association regarding their concern about losing age old stock ponds and such. That have been either naturally the matter of diversion or what I would call soft damning that's occurred over decades ago to allow the flattening out of water on those properties.

And I know you had an explanation that evidently satisfied them, but if you could put that on the record, I'd appreciate it very much. I just haven't had time to fully research it myself. And I'd like to be able to go up on the Bill yeah, thank.

You for the question through, Mr. President, I would say a couple of things. So the most significant changes made in negotiations with the opposition and the Kettlemen were among the first to drop their opposition. After this were the due process issues, some of which have been discussed in the colloquy we just had with the Senator from Stockton.

And then on the forfeiture issue, this whole question of whether you ought to have right now, case law says that there has to be an individual claimant against a water claim for there to be a forfeiture of that claim. If that's found in court, the original version of the Bill gave the waterboard that right as well. So the waterboard could make a claim on behalf of the people of the State of California, the environment of the State of California.

And if that claim was successful, there could be a forfeiture of that water claim that was dropped from the Bill as part of negotiations. And it's in conversation with folks here on the floor. So that forfeiture issue is out of the Bill entirely. And we also were silent on the question of the burden of proof. We added in some additional due process protections, and that ultimately satisfied the folks who had raised concerns.

All right, thank you for your response. I'll be supportive of the Bill.

Thank you.

Thank you. Any further discussion or debate on this item hearing in CNN. Senator Allen, would you like to close? Thank you.

I appreciate the discussion. I appreciate, once again, the work of the opposition working with us to get this built to a good place. In so much respect to my colleague who raised concerns, this does not create any impingement upon a right. This gives the waterboard the ability to verify rights. But if people have a valid right, there is absolutely no infringement. I hope she'll reconsider. But with that, we've worked really hard and I respect freshman, aye vote.

All right, members, we're back at it. We're ready to start. Assembly third reading. Our first item up is file item 135. Senator Allen, is he present and accountable? Yes, he is. Secretary, you may read.

Assembly Bill 1248 by Assemblymember Bryan. An act relating to elections.

Senator Allen.

Well, thank you so much, Mr. President. This bill levels the electoral playing field across our state by requiring that cities and counties with more than 300,000 residents and school districts and community colleges that have more than 500,000 residents utilize independent registering commissions. Now, this is a response to the Legislature's piecemeal approach. All sorts of individual bills have come forward. Individual members trying to pass a bill requiring independent redistricting commissions of one form or another for their respective counties.

And what we sought to do with this bill was to set flexibility, focus on the prize here, which is to create independent commissions. But we created different ways for the counties to meet that standard as opposed to having that standard imposed upon them in one particular way. You know, ultimately, this is about meeting the goals of the Independent Reduction Commission, which is to prevent elected officials from gerrymandering districts to the detriment of their communities.

But in addition, it's a bit of a response to, as I say, this piecemeal approach that ultimately imposes specificity on an individual county based on the whims of the individual member who's bringing the bill forward. And so we believe it's very fair. We've worked really closely with all the good government groups. This has been a major priority for Common Cause and League of Women Voters, and I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Any further discussion or debate on this item? Senator Wiener.

Thank you very much, Mr. President. Colleagues, I rise in support of AB 1248. I stayed off of this in the Governance and Finance Committee because I had some concerns about the way the bill was structured and some of the unintended consequences that could happen. Having gone through multiple redistricting processes in San Francisco, I've definitely seen the challenges that this bill is trying to address, and I support them. And I want to really thank the author for working with us and making some strong changes to the bill that addressed the bulk of my concerns. And so with those changes, I am happy to support the bill.

Thank you. Any further discussion or debate? Hearing and seeing none. Senator Allen, would you like to close?

Thank you so much for seeing the light, my good friend from San Francisco and respectfully ask for an aye vote

Thank you, Mr. President. Ladies and gentlemen of the Senate, today I'm proud to present AB 1462 and be a proud co-author. This is a good bill. This bill will gather information to reduce the number of veterans that overdose. This bill will require the California Department of Public Health to compile data on veteran overdosing and make the data readily accessible so researchers can identify patterns that can help prevent veteran overdose in the future. I respectfully ask for an aye vote. Thank you.

Senator, the floor is yours.

Thank you, Mr. President. Today I rise on behalf of Assemblymember Eloise Reyes to present you AB 504, a bill that declares the acts of sympathy striking and honoring a picket line, a fundamental human right. AB 504 will prevent public employers from having clauses in their collective bargaining agreements preventing public employees from standing in solidarity with their colleagues. Having the right to stand in solidarity with colleagues engaged in strike should be protected. Workers should not have to fear losing their jobs for honoring picket lines. And with that, I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Senator Skinner.

Thank you, Mr. President. Members, AB 1218 clarifies that in the statute requiring relocation assistance for low-income tenants that are displaced due to a new housing development. So the changes in the bill ensure consistency with housing element law. They also ensure that we expand housing supply, even as some units must be demolished to densify or make way for other uses.

Assembly Bill 937 by Assemblymember McKinnor. An act relating to juveniles.

Senator, floor is yours.

Thank you, Mr. President. I rise. On behalf of Assemblymember Tina McKinnor. This bill has received bipartisan support and is a Women's Caucus priority. AB 937 will ensure that parents are given a fair opportunity to reunify with their children by extending the timeline and providing parents with 24 months of service as long as courts determine that reunification is not in the detriment of the child. The child welfare system is designed to return children to safe homes, not to permanently separate children from their parents. AB 937 will provide a reasonable time frame to support family reunication efforts across California, and I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Assembly Bill 645 by Assemblymember Friedman. An act relating to vehicles.

Senator Wiener.

Thank you, Mr. President and colleagues. I rise to present AB 645 on behalf of Assemblymember Friedman. This bill authorizes six pilot cities, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Jose, Oakland, Glendale, and Long Beach, to use a limited number of speed cameras to enforce speed limits on a five-year pilot basis. Colleagues, more than 42,000 Americans lost their lives to traffic violence in 2021, and that fatality rate is increasing.

According to the National Transportation Safety Board, speeding is a factor in one third of all collisions that result in a fatality. And we know that the higher the speed in a collision, the higher the chance of death. We know that speed kills, and we must use the proven tools at our disposal to combat this epidemic of violence, severe injuries, and death. Speed cameras have been around since the 1980s.

They are not new and have long been an effective tool for significantly reducing speed and conveying to drivers that even if a police officer does not happen to be there watching you, that you are still at risk of a ticket. That is what will get people to slow down, not whether Google tells them that there is a police officer ahead.

The author has worked extensively over a number of years to implement strict privacy safeguards with timely deletion of the data and equitable fine provisions capping the fines. They're significantly lower than a red light camera and even lower for low-income residents. And making all speed camera citations civil, not criminal penalties. Additionally, cities are required to spend citation revenues exclusively on program administration or traffic calming and bike lanes to further protect all road users.

So this will not be a situation where cities will have an incentive to move money into their general funds. The money is limited to these related purposes. I want to express my deep gratitude to the author, Ms. Friedman, for spearheading this issue so tirelessly over years. I also want to acknowledge my former Assemblymember, David Chiu, who is now the City Attorney of San Francisco, who also introduced this bill.

For many years in a row, this has been a huge coalition effort and colleagues, this is an opportunity for us to improve road safety and to ensure that fewer people die. Everyone who dies on our roads is a son or a daughter of someone, often a parent, a sibling, a grandparent. I have gone to vigils and met the families of people who have died because of excessive speed. It changes that family forever. Forever. And it changes the community forever. And we need to use all available tools to reduce that violence and to make sure that people are not dying on our roads. I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Any further discussion or debate? Senator Gonzalez.

Yes. Thank you, Mr. President and members. I, too, want to express my deep appreciation to the author, but also support this bill overwhelmingly. Just in Long Beach alone last year, there were about 45 deaths. Over 60% of them were pedestrians. It has actually surpassed our murder rate, which is nothing to be excited about, but just saying that traffic fatalities and pedestrians on our streets are being killed every single day.

And so I'm thankful that she has taken over two years, along with our new San Francisco City Attorney, former Assemblymember David Chiu, to be able to get this done. But this is going to be extraordinary. Just in Long Beach alone, I think we'll be receiving about 17 cameras, many of which will go through the first tranche, will go through a community meeting to ensure that everybody feels good about where they're placed, and then will be done so equitably. With that, I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Thank you. Senator Eggman.

Thank you, Mr. President and members. And I also just want to speak in support of this. I commute every day and have for about the last 30 years and I can tell you it's not the commute that will kill you, it's the traffic on there that cars drive at incredibly excessive rates of speeds. I met with my local Highway Patrol the other day and they talked about the number of citations they give for both people driving over 100 miles an hour as well as sideshows. We know there's been a historic number of deaths as well as car wrecks, as well as people being hit by cars. We have to use every tool we have for this. I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Thank you. Senator Blakespear.

Thank you. I rise today in support of this bill, essentially because speed kills, and it's really important that we do more to reduce the number of bicyclists and pedestrians and others in cars who are killed on our roads. So I'm enthusiastic about this bill and I thank the author for it, and I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Thank you. Any further discussion or debate on this item? Seeing no more microphones. Senator Wiener, would you like to close?

Assembly Bill 1115 by Assembly Member Papan in act relating to contamination.

Senator Becker.

Thank you, Mr. President. AB 1115 is an industry supported bill which simply extends the sunset date of the Underground Storage Tank Fund. This fund is a critical financial mechanism for tank owners and operators to cover environmental cleanup costs as self-insuring is a massive burden on small operators. California is among many other states that provide a fund as an option operation to meet their financial responsibility. This is a common sense measure and supports the state's goals for cleaner California. Respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Thank you, Mr. President.

Thank you, Mr. President. This Bill authorizes entities referring veterans to housing units funded by the Veterans Housing and Homelessness Prevention Program, or certain housing units supported by project based housing vouchers to refer veterans at higher income levels if units are unable to be filled as specified. This deals with a situation where Low income veterans receive disability benefits, and those benefits actually push them above the threshold, making them or rendering them ineligible for these housing units.

Members, this presentation is dedicated to my friend from Stockton. AB 1415 creates an exemption from the Outdoor Advertising Act for new advertising displays approved by Caltrans in specified areas in Hollywood and downtown LA.

Thank you, Mr. President. Ladies and gentlemen of the Senate, today I rise as a proud co author of AB 935 by Assembly Member Connolly. Many of you joined me in supporting SB 793, which banned the sale of flavored tobacco products in the State of California. AB 935 will protect our teens by explicitly authorizing the California Department of Public Health, the Attorney General, the local Public Health agencies to enforce the flavor tobacco ban that's going to prevent the next generation of Californians from becoming addicted to nicotine. And that should be our priority. With that, I respectfully ask for an aye vote. Thank you.

Secretary, you may read.

Assembly Bill 1287 by Assembly Member Alvarez in act relating to housing.

Senator Padilla.

Thank you very much, Mr. President. I rise to present AB 1287, which requires a city or county to grant additional density in concessions if a developer--density bonuses, excuse me--in concessions if a developer agrees to include additional moderate income units or very low income units on top of the maximum amount of units allowed for lower, very low, or moderate income housing.

We're in the midst of a housing crisis. You don't need me to inform you of that. That renders the states unaffordable to a large portion of the state's population and costs the state billions of dollars in lost economic output opportunity.

Last year, HCD determined that we will need 2.5 million new units of housing in the next eight years to meet the current demand. However, according to the DOF, last year, California added only 123,000 housing units. Consequently, the Legislature has implemented several crucial measures to enhance the provision of affordable housing. This bill enhances the state's efforts by addressing housing unaffordability for middle income earners.

The UC Berkeley Terner Center for Housing Innovation found that 40 percent of middle income renters spend more than 30 percent of their income on housing, while 10 percent are severely cost-burdened, meaning that more than half of their monthly income is spent just on housing. This cost burden has continued to grow as we have failed to build enough middle income housing units to reduce prices and release pressure on the overall market. By giving developers an additional incentive under Density Bonus Law to build more modern income units, AB 1287 is a critical step forward towards providing relief. With that, I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Thank you. Any further discussion or debate on this item? Seeing none, Secretary, please call the roll.

Assembly Bill 521. By Assembly Member Bauer Khan an act relating to occupational safety and health.

Senator Smallwood.

Thank you, Mr. President. I'm proud to present AB five, two, one, on behalf of Assembly Member Bauer Khan, a Bill to ensure equal protections for restroom access on job sites. A daily challenge for women in the building trades is simply using the bathroom. Shared restrooms on job sites pose major sanitary challenges that few male coworkers have to face. AB 521 simply asks OSHA to revisit its standards for restroom requirements on construction sites to ensure there are separate facilities for women working there. This Bill has no opposition, and I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Assembly Bill 894 by Assembly Member Friedman in act relating to land use.

Senator Blakespear.

Thank you, President and Colleagues. I rise to present AB 894 on behalf of Assembly Member Friedman, which designates circumstances where shared parking should be allowed as a way to meet parking needs without creating burdensome expenses for businesses and residents. This measure would not require anyone to share their parking with others. It only allows them a choice to do so and offers another tool to meet parking requirements. Excess parking is proven to create health islands, reduce groundwater recharge, prevent walkable cities, and increase the amount that people drive.

We must offer more tools to meet parking requirements in areas where there may be underutilized parking lots. I respectfully urge an aye vote for this common sense measure. Thank you.

Assembly Bill 1085 by Assembly Member Maienschein an act relating to Medicare.

Thank you, Mr. President. I rise to present AB 1085 on behalf of Assembly Member mainshine. This Bill requires the Department of Healthcare Services to seek any necessary federal approvals for a medical benefit to cover housing support services. Housing support services help people access housing, remain stably housed, and are essential for individuals experiencing homelessness to access meaningful care. Two years ago, DHCS shared an intent to make housing support services a medical benefit for Californians experiencing homelessness by 2024. AB 1085 requires the Department to begin the process to make this benefit a reality. I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Senate Bill 818 by Assembly Member Petrie-Norris an act relating to protective orders.

Senator Portantino.

Thank you. Mr. Speaker and Members, I rise to present AB 818. Excuse me, Mr. President and Members on behalf of Assembly Member Petrie Norris. Current law requires that a person who is subject to domestic violence or gun violence restraining order be prohibited from having firearms or ammunition. Unfortunately, victims advocates report that when a victim requests that law enforcement serve this protective order and confiscate firearms, law enforcement agencies sometimes refer victims to another agency elsewhere.

This is concerning because it undermines the goal of quickly getting guns out of the hands of those who are prohibited from having them. This Bill strengthens current law to ensure that any law enforcement agency shall remove firearms from a prohibited person when requested. It protects victims and makes our community safer, and I respectfully ask for an aye vote. And it has received unanimous support. And I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Thank you. Any further discussion or debate on this item? Hearing and seeing none. This is eligible for a unanimous roll call. Is there any objection to applying to unanimous roll call? Seeing none.

Assembly Bill 825 by Assembly Member Brian an act relating of bicycles.

Senator Porntino.

Thank you. Mr. President and Members, I rise to present AB 825 on behalf of Majority Leader Bryan. This would prevent cyclists from facing citations for taking refuge on a sidewalk. I can tell you that that has happened to me on occasion where you have no place to go other than a sidewalk. It makes sense. And there's no evidence that suggests sidewalk riding differs from other issues. Nearly all citations are people of color who get the infraction. And so that's also an important social justice piece. People riding bikes should not be punished for making reasonable, safety-first choices where no safe alternative exists, and I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

If the prosecution is available to show by clear and convincing evidence that the defendant is in danger of themselves or others.

Mental health diversion allows individuals with Diagnoesd Mental health disorders to participate in mental health treatment programs up to two years in lieu of criminal prosecution.

Senator Wiener.

Thank you very much. Mr. President, I'm pleased today to present AB 1185 on behalf of Assembly Member Gabriel. This is a Jewish caucus priority Bill to expand and rebalance the California State nonprofit Security grant program. This program provides much needed assistance and critical security enhancements for religious institutions, LGBT community centers, reproductive health facilities, and other nonprofits deemed to be at risk from hate motivated and violent extremism. It's the California Office of Emergency Services most popular grant program.

And sadly, the need for an interest in this funding continues to grow as hate crimes surge, as funding tends to be tapped out pretty much immediately. Many more nonprofits need support from this program, but they struggle to apply due to barriers in the application process. AB 1185 makes changes to the grant program based on feedback from many nonprofits, and I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Thank you, Mr. President. Members, AB 1414 is a Bill that addresses the issue of common counts. Common counts are old fashioned claims used in debt collection that allow a creditor to show the court a list of charges rather than a contract. What this Bill does is it says that if there's a written contract, you've got to produce the written contract and sue on the written contract rather than just simply a common count.

Assembly Bill 659 by Assembly Member Aguiar-Curry an act relating to human papillomavirus.

Senator Weiner.

Thank you, Mr. President. Colleagues, I rise today to present AB 659 on behalf of Assembly Member Aguiar-Curry. HPV infects 37,000 people every year, both men and women, and results in more than 7,000 cancer diagnoses. While these numbers are determined by testing and examinations, many others remain undetected until they become a threat to a person's life.

Even though the CDC recommends HPV vaccination for girls and boys ages 11 and 12, almost 60 percent of eligible adolescents have not received the HPV vaccine in California, meaning they will all be at risk, not just for HIV, but for cancer for their entire lives. This bill does not mandate anything. It advises that 8th graders and students entering UC, CSU, and community colleges should be fully vaccinated against HPV.

Under this bill, parents will be notified at the beginning of the 6th grade of the HPV Vaccination Advisory with information on current federal HPV vaccination guidelines. The notification will be done as approved by local school districts and in the statistically prevalent languages of the school population to avoid confusion. Notifying families by reaching out and recommending vaccination to students will help spread awareness and improve uptake of this safe, cancer-preventing vaccine.

AB 659 ensures proper communication with students and parents, removes cost barriers to getting the HPV vaccine, and will prevent more cancers and deaths from HPV. And Colleagues, on a personal note, and I said this in the Health Committee, that I was recently diagnosed with HPV-related pre-cancer, and I'll be fine, but when I was a child, when I was a teenager, there was no HPV vaccine. I did not have that option.

And the idea that we would not advise parents that this exists and that they can get their kid vaccinated and protect that kid from cancer for the rest of their lives, that to me is just straight up common sense, and of course, we should do that. The parents will then make their choice, but they should absolutely receive that advisory, and I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Thank you. Any further discussion or debate on this item? Seeing and hearing none. Secretary, you may--oh. Senator Alvarado-Gil.

Thank you, Mr. President. I've been watching this bill pretty closely. I've had a lot of opposition in my district, particularly around any type of mandate, and I had originally come here to oppose this bill. However, I do want to acknowledge the author and all the work that the author has been doing since the beginning of conceptualizing this bill. One, because what was always the focus was kids, their health, and their future. And we know that kids come to school to learn. They come to feel safe.

They come to feel loved. And this is a place where we have to rely on that connection to parents so that we can also educate our children through the parents and educate parents through the child. I want to share my gratitude to my colleague from San Francisco for sharing his story. I have often told this story as well. I lost three organs due to HPV-related cancer, and it was a very impactful time in my life. And I also have four daughters.

And with all four daughters, I've had the conversations about HPV, and the difference was that I did not have access to that vaccine or even the education when I was at the age where I should have been able to prevent that. But we have that knowledge now, we have the science now. And so this gives us an opportunity to use our public education system to truly educate the whole family, the whole child, the whole person. And so I am actually going to support this bill today and I want to thank everyone that's done the hard work to remove the opposition to meet with our parents, particularly from my district that have been concerned.

They've been coming to your offices and meeting with you about those concerns. Thank you for caring and thank you for your support on this bill. I urge an aye vote.

Thank you. Any further discussion or debate on this item? Any further discussion or debate? Senator Wiener, would you like to close?

Now we're moving on to file item 186. Senator Cortese, is he prepared, he is. Secretary you may read.

Assembly Bill 285 by Assembly Member Luz Rivas an act relating to pupil instruction.

Senator, floor is yours.

Thank you, Mr. President and Members, I rise as a proud principal co author to present AB 285 by Assembly Member Louis Reevis. The Bill would foster youth's passion for learning about climate change and ways to mitigate its effects. Specifically, AB 285 would make climate change a course requirement for grades one through 12 so that our future leaders can gain the knowledge they need to create a sustainable future.

In 2016, a report by the University of by Stanford University examined how environmental literacy had benefited students from nursery school to secondary school. And that study found that 83% of students improved their environmental behavior. Students are being educated about the impacts of climate change are clearly better prepared to fight for a better future. But not all children are being provided that opportunity to learn.

Back in 2010, the California State Board of Education adopted the Educational Environment Initiative curriculum at the goal of increasing environmental literacy for K 12 students. Additionally, three years after the adoption of that curriculum, California adopted the Next Generation Science Standards to include environmental issues as an option. California certainly made some progress on advancing climate literacy, but there remains much work to be done to routinely teach these topics in our school since the state's attempts to teach about climate remain optional.

With that, I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Allen aye. Alvarado-Gil aye. Archuleta aye. Ashby aye. Atkins aye. Becker aye. Blakespear aye. Bradford aye. Caballero. Cortese aye. Dahle. Dodd aye. Durazo aye. Eggman aye. Glazer aye. Gonzalez aye.

Assembly Bill 899. By Assembly Member Muratsuchi an act relating to food.

Senator Skinner.

Thank you, Mr. President. AB 89 requires that baby foods sold in California be tested for lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury. And then to have those test results posted online.
