Members, we're going to move right into business on the Daily File, starting with file item number 86, SB 741. The Clerk will read.

Senate Bill 741 by Senator Min and others. An act relating to domestic violence.

Assemblymember Papan, you may open.

Thank you. Good morning. Good afternoon, Madam Speaker. SB 741 by Senator Min, will amend the Domestic Violence Prevention Act to allow discovery only if specifically authorized by the Court upon a finding of good cause. This is a great bill because abusive parties are using lengthy discovery processes as a means of intimidating or harassing victims, forcing contact, and causing them to incur legal fees and other expenses.

Most domestic violence restraining order petitioners are unrepresented, and litigants are currently required to separately petition for a protective order from abuse of discovery, alongside their efforts to seek protection from abuse which can be overly burdensome, and delay proceedings. While the State of Washington and the District of Columbia have restrictions on discovery tailored for domestic violent restraining order cases, California does not. So this is our chance.

SB 741 will reduce the risk of harassment and intimidation of domestic violence survivors and prevent unnecessary delay in adjudicating a domestic violence restraining order request. I respectfully request an aye vote.

Thank you. Madam Speaker, today I'm presenting SB 725 on behalf of Senator Smallwood-Cuevas. This Bill requires a grocery establishment that conducts a layoff as a result of a merger to provide workers at least one week of severance pay for every year of service. SB 725 protects grocery workers by providing them with the financial support they need to transition after mass layoff. I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Bill 353 by Senator Dodd and others an act relating to the beverage containers and making an appropriation therefore, declaring the urgency thereof to take effect immediately.

Assembly Member Kalra, you may open.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Presenting SB 353, also known as the Bottle Bill 2023. This Bill adds large 100% fruit juice containers over 46oz, and vegetable juice containers larger than 16oz to the CRV program. Additionally, the Bill allows Cal recycle to utilize the three month or 12 month average scrap value when determining the processing payment, whichever is more advantageous to the small businesses that make up much of our recycling center infrastructure in California. The Bill provides temporary help for rural recyclers.

And lastly, the Bill addresses numerous reporting and administrative issues. The Bill has support from bottlers and recyclers across the state. I respectfully request an aye vote.

Seeing no others wishing to speak on this item. Members, this is a 54 vote, a 54 vote. The Clerk will open the roll. All those votes who desire to vote. All those votes who desire to vote.

Senate Bill 777 by Senator Allen an act relating to solid waste.

The Clerk will read

Assemblymember Friedman, you may open.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Members. I'm pleased to present SB 777 on behalf of Senator Allen. This measure provides much needed transparency related to how stores are spending the money they charge customers for the thick plastic bags that they are giving them at the checkout. Current law only allows the revenue collected from selling these bags to be used to cover the cost of the bag, the cost of compliance with the law, or to Fund educational efforts to encourage customers to reuse the bags.

After our single use bag took ban took effect, we saw a decrease in the pounds of plastic per person generated from plastic carryout bags. However, unfortunately, as of 2021, that number has moved up higher than before the plastic bag ban. And we've seen an unfortunate proliferation of these thick plastic bags that are supposed to be reusable, but nobody actually reuses them. That tells us something is not working.

This Bill seeks to shine a light on one aspect of the problem by requiring the big chain retailers, not the little guys, but the big chain retailers, to report on how they're spending all that money that they're collecting. If the bags are a money maker for them, we need to understand what they're doing with the revenue, because they're supposed to be using that money to educate their employees and the customers to help reduce the use of these bags.

This is a simple Bill that's received bipartisan support, and I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Seeing no others wishing to speak on this item, the Clerk will open the roll. All those votes who desire to vote. All those votes who desire to vote. All those vote who desire to vote. The Clerk will close the roll. Ayes 48 noes 16 measure passes. We are going to pass temporarily on item number one. Taking us to item number one. Two. SB 822.

Senate Bill 822 by Senator Durazo and others an act relating to employment.

Assembly Member Schiavo, you may open.

Thank you, Madam Speaker and Members. I rise on behalf of Senator Durazo. SB 822 strengthens California's commitment to a worker centered economy by setting up the administrative architecture to develop standards throughout California's contracts, grants, and incentive programs. This Bill will establish agreements between state agencies to advance equitable access to high paid jobs in infrastructure, manufacturing and sustainability sectors. SBA 22 will assist state agencies with applying workforce standards consistently across programs to maximize equity outcomes, while also customizing approaches to fit specific program needs. Respectfully ask for your aye vote.

The Clerk will read.

Assembly Member Garcia, you may open.

Thank you, Madam Speaker AB. SB 831 authorizes the Governor, on behalf of the state, to enter into an agreement with the United States Attorney General or the United States Attorney General's designee to establish a program for the United States AG or designee to grant an agriculture employee living in the United States permission, legal permission, to be here.

This program would be in partnership with the State of California and the federal government in consideration on granting this status based on the needs and circumstances of California's immigrant farm worker and its farm worker agricultural economy. This Bill has received bipartisan support and respectfully asked for your vote.

Thank you. Madam Speaker and Members, I rise to present SB 428 on behalf of Senator Blake Spear. SB 428 would allow an employer to seek a restraining order on behalf of an employee who is being continually harassed as a result of their employment. This Bill provides a common sense protection that allows employers legal tools to further protect their employees from unlawful harassment. I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

The Clerk will read Senate Bill 410 by Senator Becker, an act relating to electricity.

Assembly Member Connolly, you may open.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Good afternoon, Members. I rise to present SB 410, the Powering Up Californians Act, on behalf of Senator Becker. Energization projects, or interconnection projects help to connect new buildings and EV chargers to the electricity grid. Because of PG and E's irresponsible forecasting and the PUC's refusal to hold these monopoly utilities accountable, customers have suffered from extremely long interconnection delays of up to 12 months and resulting in millions of dollars lost. In my district, we've experienced never ending delays.

In Santa Rosa, we're waiting for over $5 million worth of projects that are necessary for new housing developments. Sonoma county is waiting for chargers for their fleet electrification. Local commercial and agricultural businesses can operate fully equipped. And in Marin County, there are four large customer projects of fleet EV chargers in Nevada and Santa Fe, with a total capacity of $8.5 million. As more homes and businesses are built, and as companies install EV chargers, the demand for interconnection upgrades continues to grow.

In order to hold PG and E and our public utilities accountable, SB 10 will require the PUC to set a time frame in which utilities must connect customers to get the grid to fix and prevent future interconnection delays. After setting these targets, the utilities are required to create a strategy to meet the targets workforce planning and a temporary financing mechanism to catch up on the backlog until their next General rate case. And on the temporary financing mechanism, we put many guardrails in place through this Bill.

The PUC's current planning status quo makes grid upgrades more expensive for ratepayers. And let's be clear, this Bill does not increase rates or the scope of projects utilities must do. Therefore, I respectfully ask that we join those supporting this legislation, including climate groups, the NRDC, EDF and Sierra Club, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and SCIU, and the Cal Chamber and Bay Area Council. I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Assemblymember Jim Patterson, you are recognized.

Thank you, Madam Speaker, Members, I, too rise in support as the Vice Chair of the Utilities and Energy Committee. When this came before us, aye voted in favor of SB 410. And for those of my colleagues who have served with me on utility and energy, you know that for a good long period of time, I have been deeply concerned with PG E over their failure to electrify important projects in Fresno, the fifth largest city in the State of California.

We cannot allow the CPUC's lack of action and PG E's financial distress to keep our communities in the dark. Project delays in my area range from building new homes. We literally had hundreds of homes fall out of escrow because they could not be energized. We attracting new business into the area. There are waiting lists a mile long. PG E's inability to energize in our area has really created, really, an impediment to the City of Fresno in doing so many things that we are trying to do.

I'll give you a few examples. We have two community colleges that are being modernized and built. They have been delayed. The airport, which has been internationalized and quite successful, is building a new international terminal. And yet we are very concerned that it's going to be difficult to energize these projects. What I like about the Bill is that it holds PG and E accountable, but it does provide them the short term flexibility to do their job.

And their job is to energize important products in their service area. Members, please join me in supporting SB 410 and let's start electrifying California like the 21st century we are.

Assembly Member Berner, you are recognized.

Thank you, Madam Speaker and Members. I rise in support of this measure and thank the author and the floor jockey for bringing it forward. This Bill helps set meaningful targets for utilities to provide electrical service to customers, but also injects more scrutiny into how utilities calculate their cost to meet those needs.

One thing made very clear by the recent state audit report I requested concerning CGE, the PUC, and Cal advocates, is that we need to be more transparent and more diligent about how utilities are justifying rate increases, especially when it comes to balancing accounts. This Bill not only tasks the PUC with ensuring utilities have sufficient staff resources to meet energization goals, but also requires them to have an independent third party Auditor on hand to review their practices.

When it comes to how to justify proposed rate increases as fair and reasonable. We have more work to do to ensure ratepayers are better protected, but with this legislation is a good first step, which is why I will be supporting it today and respectfully request your aye vote

Assembly Member Soria you are recognized.

Thank you, Madam Speaker and Members. Today I also rise in support of SB 410. I want to thank the floor jockey and also Senator Becker for bringing this measure forward, which will help districts like mine. I represent a district that is full of rural cities and unincorporated communities. And in my district, we too are experiencing significant delays in connecting new development and customers due to the capacity constraints.

Several communities in my district have reached out and shared their frustration with losing economic development opportunities, both for building new housing, commercial facilities, and other potential businesses that would bring jobs to these very poor communities. This Bill, the Powering Up California Act, will accelerate electrical upgrades and service connections for all communities, and in particular, benefit rural communities by supporting economic growth.

So today, I join my colleagues for all the reasons that they mentioned, in terms of accountability, and making sure that we're moving in an expeditious way, because we owe it to our residents to ensure that they are electrified. And with that, I urge an aye vote.

Seeing no others wishing to speak on this item, Assembly Member Connolly closing remarks.

Yeah, just really to thank the author for his tremendous work on this, including taking four amendments which move Public Advocates off of their opposition, I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

The Clerk will open the roll. All those votes who desire to vote. All those votes who desire to vote. All those votes who desire to vote. The Clerk will close the roll. ayes 57. Nose two measure passes. We are now on to item number 108, SB 605.

Senate Bill 605 by Senator Padilla and others, an act relating to energy.

The Clerk will read.

Assembly Member Muratsuchi, you may open.

Thank you very much. I am rising to present SB 605 on behalf of Senator Padilla to require the California Energy Commission to study the potential benefits of wave and tidal energy for the State of California Members, those big, juicy waves should be more than just for surfers. We should capture that energy, clean, renewable energy to meet our climate goals. This Bill has received bipartisan support with no no votes and no opposition. Respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Seeing no others wishing to speak on this item, the Clerk will open the roll. All those votes who desire to vote. All those votes who desire to vote. All those votes who desire to vote, the Clerk will close the roll. ayes 66. No zero measure passes. Next item, number 10. Nine, SB 43.

The Clerk will read.

Senate Bill 43 by Senator Eggman and others, an act relating to mental health.

Assembly Member Maienschein. You may open.

Thank you, Madam Speaker and Members. I rise to present SB 43, which updates the definition of gravely disabled. Gravely disabled was defined by the LPs Act in 1967 and continues to be defined to this day as someone who, due to a mental disorder or chronic alcoholism, is unable to meet their basic needs for food, clothing, and shelter. Unfortunately, much of this well intentioned law is not working as intended today. Many of those who are experiencing homelessness or incarcerated are also dealing with severe mental illness.

SB 43 would update the definition of gravely disabled for the first time since 1967 to include someone with a severe substance use disorder and include their inability to meet their needs for necessary medical care and personal safety. Current law already dictates that the historical course of a person's mental disorder should be considered when it has a direct bearing on their determination as gravely disabled.

This Bill would allow for a hearsay exception when an expert witness is offering an opinion during a conservatorship proceeding, only when the statement is made in the medical record by a healthcare practitioner and it pertains to a person's symptoms or behaviors. The status quo is incarceration, homelessness, and death. It is unconscionable for us to continue to fail to update an outdated law with this record of outcomes. I hope today we can come together on a solution to better serve California's most vulnerable. Thank you. And I respectfully request an aye vote.

Assembly Member Gallagher, you are recognized.

Yes. Thank you, Madam Speaker. And Members, I rise in support of this know, for a long time, people have been saying, Houston, we have a problem on our streets. We have people who are in a State of complete delusion, and they are a danger to both themselves and others. And it is not compassionate to leave them in that state and to be continually in and out of emergency rooms, continually in and out of jails places that are not ultimately the best place for them.

And for a long time, people have recognized that we need to change this law. And I am heartened that today we're finally going to do that. And the Senator, who has worked on this for many years and has been very diligent in trying to make this case, talking about her own experience with her family Members. But so many people have the same story of family Members that they love who cannot get into care, who they cannot get off the streets.

And by finally changing this definition and making it a more reasonable threshold so that we can get people into the care they need, is going to make a big difference. There's obviously a lot of other things that we need to do as well. This is not the silver bullet, but it is a change that needs to happen and for a long time has needed to happen. So I fully support and ask for your aye vote today. Thank you.

Seeing no other is wishing to speak on this item. Assembly Member Maienschein, closing remarks.

Thank you, Madam Chair. This important measure, I know before I came to the State Assembly and I was working with the chronically homeless, we didn't have this tool available. And it would have made a tremendous difference for those who are suffering on our streets, those who are dying on our streets. This is a huge step forward.

We've done a lot in this Assembly, and we should recognize that we have set aside hundreds of millions of dollars now during the course of the last several years to work on this issue.

But this is something that's going to allow us at the street level, those individuals who are on our street corners in all of our downtowns, who have been there for years and years and years, who end up cycling through our ers who end up cycling through our jails and who live broken and really, ultimately, tragic lives. Today, we get to do something about it. And with that, I respectfully request your aye vote.

The Clerk will open the roll. All those votes who desire to vote. All those votes who desire to vote all those votes who desire to vote. The Clerk will close the roll ayes 65. No zero measure passes. Members, we're going to jump back to item number 92, SB 302.

Senate Bill 302 by Senator Stern and others. Stack Lane healthcare facilities.

Assembly Member Waldron, you may open.

Thank you, Madam Speaker and Members. I rise to present SB 302 on behalf of Senator Stern. This bill will allow patients 65 or older with a chronic disease, or those who are terminally ill to use medical cannabis in a health facility. Outside of healthcare facilities, those who utilize medical marijuana to treat a range of chronic conditions have unrestricted access.

However, older individuals living in medically-assisted institutions do not have that same luxury and have no choice but to continue the use of opioids for treatment despite limited long term efficacy and a myriad of side effects, and an astronomical cost of approximately 635,000,000,000 a year. This bill has enjoyed broad bipartisan support and received no opposing votes. I urge an aye vote.

Seeing no others wishing to speak on this item, the Clerk will open the all those votes who desire to vote. All those votes who desire to vote. All those votes who desire to vote. The Clerk will close the roll. Ayes: 64, noes: zero. Measure passes. We're now going to jump to Item Number 101, SB 800. The Clerk will read.

Senate Bill 800 by Senator Caballero and others, an act relating to aviation.

Assembly Member Valencia. You may open.

Thank you, Madam Speaker and Members. SB 800 requires Caltrans to establish the Advanced Air Mobility and Aviation Electrification Advisory Panel. Advanced air mobility is a new, innovative mode of transportation which passengers and cargo can use to access underutilized aerial transit routes in an effort to reduce the burden of infrastructure, traffic congestion and lower harmful emissions. SB 800 would require the Advisory Panel to assess the feasibility and readiness of existing infrastructure in the state to support the development of advanced air mobility services. This new industry will leverage innovative vehicle designs and system technologies and embrace the sharing economy to enable a novel transportation service network. Respectufully ask for your yes vote.

Senate Bill 241 by Senator Min and others, an act relating to firearms.

The Clerk will read.

Assembly Member Gipson, you may open.

Thank you very much, Madam Speaker. I rise, today, to present Senate Bill 241 on behalf of our colleague, Senator Dave Min. SB 241 will require firearm dealers and their employees to complete a regular training that covers one: laws governing the sale and transfer of firearms and ammunitions; how to identify if an individual tends to use a firearm for unlawful activity; theft, burglary prevention; how to safely handle and store a firearm; and other reasonable business practices that deter gun trafficking and unlawful use. This bill, again, it's a firearm bill. Legalize guns and making sure that one, people go through a training that is important before handling guns and selling guns. I respectfully ask for an aye vote on 241.

Senate Bill 757 by Senator Archuleta, an act relating to transportation.

We're going to pass temporarily on item number 99, SB 757.

Members, we're going to jump to item number 113, SB 684. The Clerk will read.

The Senate Bill 684 by Senator Caballero and others: land use.

Assembly Member Boerner, you may open.

Thank you, Madam Speaker and Members. I rise to present SB 684 on behalf of Senator Caballero. SB 684 would would create a streamlined process to build small-scale homeownership projects. Since 2010, California's population growth has far exceeded the number of new homes built. The lack of new housing construction has been a key factor for the state's affordability crisis because supply simply has not kept pace with demand.

As a result, the American Dream of homeownership is now out of reach for many California families, especially families of color. Just like housing affordability has driven homeownership rates down for communities of color, local planning rules have also created barriers to homeownership. Under existing law, the framework for subdividing land for sale, lease or financing is set forth under the Subdivision Map Act, or SMA, which has been on the book since the mid 1970s.

The SMA creates an extensive permitting and approval process that often delays the permitting and construction phase of new homes. While SMA is an important tool for both local agencies and developers, there are opportunities for streamlining processes to help allow construction to begin at an earlier stage. SB 684 expands the tools available to local government and developers to streamline small lot subdivisions for the construction of homeownership projects to create more lower cost homes for sale.

Specifically, this bill shortens the time frame for development by authorizing local agencies to issue building permits once a tentative map has been recorded, and provides ministerial approval for the subdivision of sites and construction of projects with less than 10 units on parcel zone for multifamily development. SB 684 also includes important guardrails that have been negotiated extensively with local government stakeholders.

These include, but are not limited to, prohibiting the development in environmentally-sensitive areas, ensuring units constructed are reflective of local objective standards, requiring projects to be served by municipal water and sewage, as well as limiting the geographic scope of the bill. Together, these changes will make smaller homes easier, faster, and less expensive to build and put homeownership within reach for more Californians. I respectfully ask for an aye vote and request immediate transmission to the Senate.

Seeing no others wishing to speak on this item, the Clerk will open the wall. All those votes who desire to vote. All those votes who desire to vote. All those votes who desire to vote. The Clerk will close the roll. Ayes: 59, noes: zero. Measure passes.

Members, please direct your attention to the rear of the chamber. We have a very special announcement regarding a staffer that we all know and appreciate. Ms. Myra Turner in the Speaker's office. For 36 years, Myra Turner has worked for the California Assembly in various offices and capacities.

Thank you, speaker and Members, AB 33 is back from the Senate for concurrence. The Senate amendments make the Bill even better by adding Xylazine as an area of study for the task force, also known as trank. Mark my words, if you have not heard of Xylazine or trank yet, you will definitely by the time we return to this floor in January.

Xylazine is only authorized for use in Veterinarian medicine, but it is increasingly being found as an adulterant in illicit drug cocktails, including being mixed with fentanyl, cocaine and heroin. If you thought you were not prepared for the rise of fentanyl, you haven't seen anything yet. Most jurisdictions don't even test for Xylazine in overdose cases, especially right here in California. It is probably already being circulated in most of our districts, and we don't even know it's here.

Xylazine has the potential to be the next fentanyl, so getting ahead of this dangerous drug is critical to prevent yet another crisis. AB 33 gives us the opportunity to be proactive instead of reactive. If we do this right, we will save thousands of lives. Thank you, and I respectfully ask for your aye vote in concurrence with Senate amendments.

Assembly Member Waldron, you are recognized. Thank you.

Madam Speaker and Members, I rise as a proud co author of AB 33. The Bill requires the task force to convene at least once every two months to address the overdose crisis and to help us stay on top of it. This regularity ensures we keep our community safe and well informed. And I urge an aye vote.

Assembly Member Bauer-Kahan. You are recognized. Hello?

Thank you, Madam Speaker and Members. AB 1720 is back on concurrence. After amendments in the Senate, the bill ensures that all ultrasounds in California are done by licensed professionals or in licensed facilities. I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Assembly Member Joe Patterson, you are recognized.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Question: could I have six minutes like the minority leader got last week?

Pardon me?

I'm joking. I rise in opposition to this measure. On its face, the language of the bill isn't so bad, but if you read the analysis, and I believe, the intent of the bill, it's really to penalize pregnancy centers in California. And it's very clear in the analysis, and it talks about pregnancy centers. In California, pregnancy centers, and especially the ones that I know of in my district, are licensed medical facilities, licensed doctors with nurses, and I think what's going on in other states.

Again, we're talking about what happens in other states and applying things that happen in other states to the State of California. These facilities provide such important free health care to women in all of our districts. And ultrasounds--when abortion providers were closed during the pandemic--they provided ultrasounds because they stayed open the whole time. And yes, they do promote and they try to help women who talk to them about that; they are resources if they would like to keep their baby, but they definitely don't judge.

And I think it's a myth based on what's happening in other states about what pregnancy centers do here in California. And I really think we need to dispel that myth because it's going to get dangerous. Of a service that's very important that they provide for women right here in California, free of charge, no government money at all, and they provide free medical health care services for women who are pregnant. And with that, I ask for a no vote.

Let's see. Who else? Oh, excuse me. Assembly Member Schiavo, you are recognized.

Thank you. I just want to rise as a co-author on this bill. I know that there was a lot of work that went into it, and I really appreciate the author's work and strongly asking for an aye vote today.

Seeing no further discussion or debate. Assembly Member Bauer-Kahan, would you like to close?

Yes. Thank you, Madam Speaker. I want to clarify a couple of things. One is that the bill applies to all facilities and all ultrasounds in the State of California. They will have to be done by licensed professionals or in licensed facilities. It does not discriminate, and as our colleague mentioned, there are facilities under the banner of Crisis Pregnancy Centers that are licensed. This bill will not stop them from continuing to provide ultrasounds.

But I can say that as a woman who has given birth to three children and been pregnant three times, all three pregnancies being complicated, having had an ultrasound myself that was detected an abnormality and having to go through the process of figuring that out under the supervised care of a licensed physician was critical to ensuring that the prenatal care I received was good and was the best thing for both me as a pregnant woman and for my now 13-year-old child.

And so, it is critical that we ensure that these ultrasounds, which as the testimony and the hearings--for those of you that sit on Health heard, although not Health in this, but in the Senate by the OBGYNs, who are the sponsors of this bill--is, these are complicated procedures that, although being done, aren't complicated. They are to detect abnormalities and the like and it is critical that we have that done by licensed professionals.

I will also note that four other states already do this, including North Dakota, who I imagine was not doing so to deal with Crisis Pregnancy Centers since I don't believe that their Legislature was out to give access to abortion the way we are. This bill is merely about ensuring that women get access to care. And with that, I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Flavorings, most commonly fruit flavorings, do not affect the efficiency of the prescription medicine being consumed. Rather, just like Mary Poppins' song, it simply helps the medicine go down.

Assembly Member Wendy Carrillo. You are recognized.

Thank you, Madam Speaker and Members, AB 1167 is back on. Concurrent Senate amendments narrow this Bill to only apply to idle wells and wells producing less than 15 barrels a day, allowing other types of external bonding, and make other technical and clarifying changes. I respectfully request an aye vote. Thank you.

Assembly Member Fong, you are recognized.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Members, normally I rise to encourage the increase of domestic production of oil and gas. But today, I'm asking you to help close orphaned and abandoned wells by opposing this Bill. When a well goes dry, it should absolutely be properly plugged and closed. Wells that haven't been properly plugged are getting in the way of developments and are becoming even more expensive to close. Funding for abandonment comes from a few sources.

The Oil, Gas, and geothermal administrative Fund and the Hazardous and Idle Deserted well abatement Fund, both of which are funded by oil and gas companies. But over the last couple of years, as the state refuses to issue new production permits, those funds that are used to plug wells in California are drying up quicker than the wells they mean to close. So the state has started to foot the Bill to plug abandoned wells. The main cause of abandoned wells is the financial burden on well operators.

But this Bill would barricade operators with even more financial constraints. With more constraints comes more abandoned wells. The exact problem this Bill is trying to solve don't take my word for it. The governor's own Administration agrees. His Department of Finance stated that this Bill, quote, may not address the problem it intends to solve and could actually have unintended consequences of increasing the number of orphan wells in California, which will also result in increased financial liability to the state.

When Governor Newsom's Department of Finance and I agree, I ask that you give credence to one or hopefully both of us. I urge you no vote.

Seeing no further, Assembly Member Muratsuchi, you are recognized.

Thank you very much. With all due respect to our colleague from the Bakersfield, those are oil industry talking points. I mean, this Bill is all about holding polluters accountable. Otherwise, the cleanup for abandoned wells falls on taxpayers. If you don't want California taxpayers to pay for abandoned wells, hold the oil companies accountable. Have them responsible to put up the bond to make sure that they are financially responsible enough to operate the oil well. I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Seeing no further discussion, debate Sublime Member Wendy Carrillo, would you like to close?

Thank you, Madam Speaker and Members. A recent report from the Carbon Tracker found that a cost of cleanup for California's onshore oil and gas operators could potentially top as high as 21 and a half $1.0 billion. The report further found a serious financial risk to the state from orphan wells. Production continues to decline, and most remaining profit from existing wells is sharply declining as well.

So while future profits will be nowhere near sufficient to cover plugging and abandonment costs, backup bond funding held by the state is simply and completely insufficient. The state currently requires well operators to only put up a very small amount of financial security when obtaining a permit to drill. As a result, an average there is only $1,000 per well, even though it costs nearly $70,000 to clean up an oil well.

Because of this, it's estimated that less than 1% of the cleanup price tag is currently held by the state in bonds. There is an incoming tide of idle wells on the way in every part of our state, accompanied by a flood of risky transfers of those wells to smaller operators. This legislation is about taking action.

Now, to interrupt that trend, it is essential we take action to limit the enormous financial risk to the state represented by the growing pool of orphan wells that someone is going to need to clean up to pay, to clean up. And guess what the reality of that is that it's on black communities. It's on Latino communities. It's on Low income communities. In my district alone, there are over close to 200 orphaned oil wells.

Since Los Angeles used to be known as the oil city, the oil City of Los Angeles, this is not how we move forward when we're talking about climate change, climate justice, environmental justice. The fact is, if you want to make profit off an oil well, you should also be responsible in its cleanup and in ensuring that it's closed off and capped to ensure the health and well being of the communities in which you're drilling, plain and simple.

We know and we have data that the majority of those impacted are Low income communities of color. This is an environmentally just Bill. And ensuring that while we continue production in the State of California, we are also ensuring that those oil producers are also responsible for the cleanup and capping of those oil wells. Thank you. And with that, I respectfully request and aye vote.

Thank you, Madam Speaker and members. I rise for AB 519, which is back on concurrence. AB 519 aims to reduce the cost of affordable housing and homeless housing while streamlining the state's affordable housing finance system. So this is a bill that I heard from a developer in my district who builds only homeless housing, and they've run into multiple different accounts or applications that they have to go through at the statewide level to be able to get funding for homeless housing. We shouldn't be making roadblocks when we're trying to speed up getting housing for unhoused folks as quickly as possible. So this really removes red tape and ensures that we are moving housing to the folks who need it the most as quickly as possible. There were senate amendments which expand the required considerations of the working group to figure out how we bring these applications together and streamline this process. It establishes clear timelines for agencies and clarifies the funding mechanisms included and make additional technical changes. This bill is received bipartisan support and no no votes. I respectfully ask for your aye vote. Thank you.

And when we rationalize the law with current practice and realities, the formation and the adoption is much more solid and the family formation is not open to third party litigation and those kinds of things.

Assembly Bill 164 by submember Bonta and after lane to charter schools.

Assembly Member Bonta, you may open.

Thank you, Madam Speaker.

And Members, AB 164 is back on concurrence. Senate amendments respond to the opposition concerns that the length of the first writer refusal process lead to the charter management organizations failing to make timely payments on outstanding debt. I submitted a letter to the journal to further clarify legislative intent. I respectfully request your aye vote.

Assembly Member Wallace, you are recognized.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Members, I rise in opposition of AB 164. This wasn't a good Bill to begin with, and the Senate amendments have made it far worse. The deck is already stacked against charter schools ability to access facilities, and this just makes it worse. The state treasurer says AB 164 is unnecessary. Robust regulations already exist. AB 164 creates a huge new administrative cost and process for a nonexistent problem. And the new regulatory provisions are costly and redundant. The State Auditor found that these programs are running well and help kids in underserved communities.

We don't need this Bill. It's an attack on charter schools. This is why we can't have nice things. I urge you no vote on AB 16 Four.

Assembly Member Hoover, you are recognized.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I rise as the third youngest Member of the Republican Caucus in opposition to this Bill. Now, when you are young, they assume you know nothing. And that is why we need high performing school choice in our state.

I am strongly opposed to AB 16 Four because I fear it will continue to create more barriers for parents and families trying to get their kids into a school that best fits their child's needs. That is not what we need to improve academic performance in our state. I urge you, no vote.

Assembly Member Muratsuchi. You are recognized.

Thank you very much. I rise in support of AB 16 Four. And let me start off by saying that I support good charter schools.

I believe there is a role for good charter schools. But what this Bill is trying to accomplish is protecting public tax dollars that Fund charter school facilities by implementing the same requirements that currently apply to traditional public schools. This Bill will help ensure that public dollars stay with public facilities and that no private parties should be able to enrich themselves from a facility purchased with public funds. There's a lot of misinformation about the Senate amendments. As Chair of the Education Committee, let me make it clear.

This Bill is virtually the same as the Bill we heard when it got out of the Assembly. The Senate amendments are clarifying and provide further protections to the bond market, and that claims that this Bill dramatically changed in the Senate are false. This is a good government Bill to help protect public tax dollars. And I respectfully ask for you aye vote

Assembly Member Bonta, your closing remarks.

Thank you so much. We need to be proactive right now when it comes to hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars invested in capital infrastructure. This Bill offers a thoughtful and nuanced solution to that. It includes provisions to promote accountability and transparency and establishes an order of operations to what happens to the public's capital investments when charters close and cease to exist, which was lacking before. AB 16 Four ensures that our investments in educational infrastructure benefits students today and future generations of students to come.

I want to thank and appreciate our Chair of the Education Committee, our colleague from Torrance, as well as the Senate Education Committee Chair for rolling up their sleeves and digging into very technical, land use and real estate issues when it comes to the charter school facilities grant. With that, I respectfully note that this Bill is sponsored by the California School Employees Association, supported by the California School Boards Association, the Labor Federation, CTA and CFT. I respectfully request your aye vote
