Ladies and gentlemen, the Senate. A quorum is present with the Members and our guests beyond the rail and in the gallery. Please rise. We will be led in prayer this morning by our good Senator Roth, after which, please remain standing. We will be led in the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag by Senator Smallwood-Cuevas. Senator Roth.

Ladies and gentlemen of the Senate, please join me in prayer. God of the Summer solstice, who breathed this world into being, who is discernible within the harmony of nature, the perfection of a butterfly's wing, the grandeur of a mountain range, the soaring eagle and hummingbird. Thank you for this world which you have created. Thank you for summer sun, which reminds us that your creative breath is still alive and active. Thank you for the warmth of your love sustaining this world. Amen.

In honor of Pride Month, let us pledge allegiance to the flag for those men and women who've served to make our military stronger and to ensure that those who serve are respected inside and outside our military. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation...

Members, good morning to everyone. I'll say the obvious, which is that we have a little background noise that will challenge everyone here in the chamber. So we want to ask everyone who is participating to please use not their library voices, but their strong Senate voices today. All right, we're going to begin with our agenda. Privileges of the floor. Looking for Senator Allen? Don't see Senator Allen. So we will keep moving.

We have the chairperson from the tribe in the gallery. We're grateful that Chair Simon is here, and this Bill will enhance the economic development, stability and self sufficiency of the tribe. Would respectfully ask for, an aye vote.

Thank you, Senator Mcguire. Any discussion or debate? Members, any discussion or debate? Seeing none. Secretary, please call the roll.

[Roll Call]

The Assembly amendments are concurred in by a vote of 37 to zero Members. We're going to move back now to privileges of the floor. I see Senator Allen at the majority leader's desk. Senator Allen, are you prepared?

Yes, Mr. President.

The floor is yours.

Well, colleagues, I have the great honor of welcoming a distinguished delegation from the region of Catalonia. Here on the floor with us today are the delegation's two leaders, Anna Dotor, who's the Director General of Foreign Action of the Government of Catalonia, and also Isidre Sala, who's head of the delegation of the Government of Catalonia to the United States and Canada. Director General Dotor has served the Catalan government since 2008 in the field of international relations, notably working for five years within the Catalan community abroad area.

Mr. Salah is headquartered in Washington, DC, where he fosters governmental cooperation and cultural exchange between Catalonia and the United States and Canada. The delegation that they lead will actually includes 13 from a variety of disciplines, including transportation, law enforcement, emergency services, and health. Over the last couple of days, they've been here participating in policy discussions with various governmental officials, including some of us and our staff.

As many of you know, the Senate has maintained very strong relationship with Catalina through legislative and governmental exchanges, as well as a sister state relationship that dates back to 1986. I'm very pleased to have the opportunity of recognizing them today and renewing the relationship between our institution and this important European region. Go, Barsa. Please join me in welcoming our special guest from Catalonia to the California State Senate.

Welcome. After Senator Allen's picture, we would invite all Members to join. So, Members, we're going to move next to Senate third reading, and we're going to deal with four items today on Senate third reading. Let me mention them. Let me mention what they are so you can all be prepared. Those are file items number 38, 41, 42, and 43. Those are the four items we're going to take up on Senate third reading. And we're going to begin with file item 38. This is SR 41.

I see that Senator Menjivar is ready. The Clerk would please read

Senate Resolution 41 by Senator Menjivar Relative to title nine.

Senator Menjivar, the floor is yours.

Thank you, Mr. President. Good morning, colleagues. I'm rising for Sr 41, which commemorates the 51st anniversary of the enactment of Title Nine, which was signed into law on June 23, 1972. Just as a quick history lesson, it prohibited sex discrimination in education programs and activities offered by entities receiving federal financial assistance.

Title Nine has had a. Has had a multifaceted impact, increasing gender equity in athletics and employment and straightening protections from gender based harassment and violence, as well as discrimination based on sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, parenthood, and pregnancy. Without title nine, we wouldn't have the number one women's soccer team in the world. We're actually going to the World Cup next month in New Zealand, which I'll be able to watch a couple of their games and very excited to root them on this.

Guaranteed that it doesn't solely apply to women. It protects everyone from sex based discrimination, regardless of real perceived sex, gender identity, or gender expression. With that, I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Okay, thank you, Senator Menjivar. Members, as you can hear, we have a lot of background noise, so we'd like to ask all conversations to be in the back and hopefully quietly done so we can all hear on the floor. All right, any discussion or debate on this item? Discussion or debate on the resolution? Seeing none. Secretary, please call the roll.

[Roll Call]

On a vote of 38 to zero, the resolution is adopted. Members, we're going to move next to file item 41. This is SCR 73 by Senator Gonzalez. She is prepared. The Clerk, please read

Senate Concurrent Resolution 73 by Senator Gonzalez relative to Latina Equal payday.

Senator Gonzalez, the floor is yours.

Thank you, Mr. President and Members, I rise today to present SCR 73, which proclaims October 5, 2023, as Latina Equal payday. Women are an essential part of the economic engine that powers our state. And yet, even after 50 plus years from passing the Federal Equal Pay act, women, and especially women of color, continue to suffer the consequences of unequal pay. Our 12 million Latinas make up 7.4% of the US labor force, which is projected to increase 9.3% by 2029.

Here in California, one in five people is a Latina. And unfortunately, the wage gap is even larger, with Latinas earning only $0.42 on the dollar compared to their white male counter counterparts. This wage gap would force Latinas in California to work until 116 years of age to earn what a white, non Hispanic male earns by 60 years of age. The undervaluing valuing of Latina workers labor hurts not only Latinas, but also the families and communities they support. We must uplift our Latinas here in California. And I respectfully ask for an aye vote on SCR 73.

Members, any discussion or debate on the resolution on the floor. Senator Durazo?

Thank you, Mr. President. And I want to rise as a proud co author of SCR 73. I just want to add to my colleagues remarks that there's so much more work to do. As she said, a new study by the Gender Equity Policy Institute found that undocumented Latina women get the lowest pay in the US and close to 70% of all undocumented women are Latinas. This puts our undocumented Latina siblings at a double disadvantage.

There's an undervaluing of the care work, such as domestic work, hospitality, and even health care. These essential workers continue to lose out on income due to the gender wage gap. And Latinas clearly keep falling behind. And I rise and urge support of SCR 73. Thank you.

Thank you, Senator Durazo. Senator Min.

Thank you, Mr. President. I rise on behalf of the API Legislative Caucus in support of SCR 73. It is a travesty that equal pay for Latinas comes this early in October. This late in the year, mothers, daughters and sisters suffer from a wage gap that is persistent, causes them to struggle to support themselves and their families, to struggle to save for retirement, to struggle to be able to deal with financial emergencies that impact all of us at one time or another. By drawing attention to this issue, we are taking the first step to saying, enough is enough that everyone should receive equal wages for equal work. Thank you. And I respectfully ask for your support for SCR 73.

Thank you, Senator Min. Any further discussion? Members, any further debate? Seeing none. Senator Gonzalez, you may close. Yeah.

I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Thank you, Secretary. Please call the roll.

[Roll Call]

The resolution is adopted, 38 to zero. Members, we're going to move next to file item number 42. File item number 42. This is SJR 5 by Senator Gerazzo. Clerk, please read

Senate Joint Resolution 5 by Senator Durazo relative to the Office of Management and Budget.

Senator Durazo, the floor is yours.

Thank you, Mr. President. Members, SJR 5 urges the Federal Government to lift the local hire prohibition on federally funded projects and explicitly allows states and localities to implement strong procurement standards that advance high quality jobs and equitable hiring. California is in the midst of an industry changing moment in the infrastructure, manufacturing and sustainability sectors. We and the state Legislature have the opportunity to determine how billions of federal dollars are spent in our state due to restrictive federal regulations known as the Uniform Guidance.

State and city governments are hindered from using proven programs like local hire in federally funded projects for non construction jobs. As we all know, most poor people work. They work full time and more than one job. About a third of California's 40 million people live in poverty or near poverty. The problem isn't that people don't have jobs or that our historic investments in climate transportation won't create jobs. It's that more people need access to good jobs.

Our state is very aggressive about combating climate change, using all the levers of government to shape markets to reduce carbon. We need to bring the same intentionality to fighting poverty. In my City of Los Angeles, we've seen huge successes from projects that require contractors to hire a portion of their employees from local communities and from targeted groups like those returning from incarceration. Veterans and other systems impacted individuals. But many of these programs were only possible with local and federal pilot funding.

Unclear and prohibitive federal grant rules have hampered cities and states from leveraging the opportunity to use federal dollars to support workers in local communities. Now there is an opportunity to change these restrictive grant rules and bring proven, successful workforce programs to federally funded projects. I respectfully ask for your support of SJR 5. Thank you.

Thank you. Senator Durazo, any discussion on this matter? Any further discussion on this matter? Seeing none. The secretary, please call the roll.

[Roll Call]

On a vote of 31 to seven, the resolution is adopted. We're going to go to our last item on third reading. This is file item 43, SCR 77 by Senator Newman from the Majority Leader's desk. Please read

Senate Concurrent Resolution 77 by Senator Newman Relative to Playday.

Thank you, Mr. President. Members, I am very pleased to present SCR 77, which will declare June 24 as Playday in California. Sport, play, and movement are all essential components of positive youth development. A substantial body of research has shown that sport and play improve mental and physical health, increase cognitive performance, build self esteem, cultivate leadership skills, and lead to higher academic and career achievements. Unfortunately, in California, there are still wide variations in access to sport, play and movement across race and socioeconomic status.

The sad truth is that it's too often the children who were already statistically at the greatest risk for poor health and wellness outcomes who have the least access to sport and play opportunities. According to the Los Angeles County Youth Sports Participation Survey commissioned by the LA 84 Foundation, children from households with annual incomes greater than $150,000 have a sport participation rate of over 90%, while children from households with annual incomes below $35,000 have a less than 70% likelihood of participating in sports.

Due to barriers faced by these children and their families, too many children across our state are missing out on the benefits of play for reasons including the high cost of youth sports, lack of access to suitable facilities, safety issues in their neighborhoods, a lack of trauma informed coaches, or exclusions based on disabilities.

The LA 84 Foundation, funded by the enduring legacy of the groundbreaking 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games, and the Play Equity Fund, have issued a joint call to action to help close what they have termed the Play Equity gap. The resolution you are voting on this morning, SCR 77, represents an important next step in their work toward creating an annual national celebration focused on highlighting the lifelong benefits of sport, play and movement for all kids, and to the benefit of the neighborhoods in which they live. Members, I ask that you please join me, Senator Duazo and Senator Bradford, in recognizing the benefits of movement and play by designating June 24, 2023, as Play Day in California.

Colleagues, I hope that you'll also make a concerted effort to get out and play with the children in your community this weekend, especially those of you who have put on a few I'm not naming names so that together we can celebrate the benefits of play and movement and start the important work of closing the play equity gap. I am respectfully asking for your aye vote today.

Thank you, Senator Newman, for those powerful remarks. Any further discussion or debate on this resolution? Discussion or debate? Very good. I think we're going to go to a vote. So the Secretary I am surprised that no one wanted to respond to that articulate presentation, but we're going to run ahead to the vote here and ask the Secretary to call the roll.

[Roll Call]

On a vote of 37 to zero, the resolution is adopted. We're going to now move to privileges of the floor. Back to privileges of the floor. And I want to recognize Senator Newman from the Majority Leader's desk.

Colleagues, I want to apologize for my earlier marks. You all look lovely today, and I love you for who you are. Colleagues, with the LA 2028 Olympics coming up fast upon us, some of you may still recall the LA Olympic Games of 1984, which, under the leadership of Peter Roth, were not only immensely successful as an Olympic event, but whose financial success created an endowment which has continued to bear fruit for youth and youth sports as a foundation for healthier children and more vibrant communities.

With us this morning to celebrate Playday are three outstanding advocates and leaders from the LA 84 foundation and the Play Equity Fund, which it so admirably supports. The Play Equity Fund conducts the important work of supporting kids and communities by funding and then scaling effective and impactful programs to include school based sports coaching, education, infrastructure development, and juvenile justice programs.

On the floor with us today is Renata Simmeral, President of the Play Equity Fund. Fernando Ramirez, Vice President of the Play Equity Fund and Wendy Gruel, a Member of the LA 84 Foundation's Board of Directors. These dedicated individuals, along with so many others engaged in supporting their work, are working creatively and diligently in support of policies and programs that will ensure that all kids will have equal access to sport and to structured play.

Please join me in elevating and celebrating the important cause of play equity by recognizing Play day and in honoring our guests for their important work and by giving Miss Simmeral, Mr. Ramirez, and Miss Gruel a very warm California Senate.

Welcome to the California State Senate.

All right, Members, we're next. Going to move back to consideration of the daily file. Can I get everybody's attention? We're going to move back to consideration of the daily file. We have the consent calendar and the special consent calendar before the body. The Clerk would please read. zero, any objection? Anybody want anything removed from the consent calendar? Either consent calendar. Let me look around the room. Anyone want anything removed from either consent calendar? All right, seeing none. If the Clerk would please read.

[Consent Calendar]

All right, so the Clerk please call the roll on item 94, which is both consent calendars.

[Roll Call]

A vote of 38 to zero on file item 94. That's adopted. The consent calendar is also adopted. Same vote. And the special consent calendar adopted. Same vote. All right, Members, we're going to now move back to. I know you're going to get a little dizzy. We're going to move back to motions and resolutions, and I want to recognize Senator Mcguire for his motion.

Thank you so much, Mr. President. Senators, I move the adoption of amendments for bills that cross the desk on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, June 23, 24th and 25th of 2023. These amendments will be adopted and published. Would respectfully ask for, and aye vote.

Thank you. Senator Mcguire, discussion and debate. I want to recognize Senator Niello.

Thank you, Mr. President. Permission to ask a question

without objection. Senator McGuire, without objection. Okay. Yes.

So, Senator Mcguire, my understanding is that this is a mixture of bills. It's not just a budget issue, but policy bills also.

Through the chair. Thank you so much, Mr. Vice Chair, on that right now. And would also look to the budget chair to be able to answer this if she would like. Would you like to be able to.

Apologies, but he did describe it as non budget. But if he wants to repeat the part that's budget specific.

I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you.

Excuse me, Senator Niello, do you want to ask your question again and I'll see if Budget Chair...

My question is my understanding that this is a mixture of bills. There are budget related issues and also just strictly policy related issues. I just ask for a clarification on that. I might be wrong in my understanding. But that's my question with permission from the chair.

Senator Skinner?

Yes, they are both budget bills, Trailer bills and policy bills, and the policy bills that are embedded in this motion, all were subject to a hearing at the Natural Resources Committee last week.

Thank you, Senator Niello.

And I understand they were subject to a hearing, but I'm wondering why the urgency to move the policy bills when they could otherwise go through a normal process without the seeming urgency over the weekend? I mean, with regard to the budget bills, my view on that is clear and previously stated, and I can come back to that, but I'm just wondering why the strategy on the policy bills.

Senator McGuire, do you want to take the question?

Yeah. Thank you so much. And again, Mr. Vice Chair, thank you for that. So as this body knows, there have been discussions on all issues of budget as well as infrastructure bills. Those infrastructure bills could go either two ways, one, through the Budget Committee and as budget trailer bills. Two, they could also go as policy bills. Ongoing negotiations between the Assembly, Senate and the Administration is happening even as we speak.

And what we want to ensure is that we're able to advance amendments that would be coming to the budget bills. And after the end of negotiations, choose to move infrastructure bills as policy bills. We're able to amend them on the floor this weekend, and those negotiations are continuing even as we speak.

Thank you. Back to Senator Niello. Any further?

Thank you. And one more question. Where will the details of these be available online or otherwise over the weekend for the public or anyone else to see as you work on them.

Senator Mcguire, you want to take a question?

Yeah. Yes. Thank you so much, Mr. Vice Chair. And thank you, Mr. President. And I'll also ask if our budget chair, who has been instrumental in these negotiations, and I want to say thank you to chair Skinner. So as we all know, we are abiding by the 72 hours rule here in the state. So once we cross those, if they are crossed on, for example, Saturday, they would be up on Monday, there would be a full budget hearing on all of the budget bills.

And as the budget chair so eloquently stated, there was a Natural Resource hearing on the infrastructure package here a couple of weeks ago through the President, if it's all right, I'll turn it over to the Budget Chair to see if she would like to be able to add anything to this.

Thank you. So, in relationship to timing, there is a nexus between the infrastructure bills and the budget in that there are both federal deadlines for funding and there is funding that was approved either in previous budgets or this budget that can be affected. And thus, that is the nexus in terms of the timing.

Senator Niello, anything further?

Comment, if I may. I no longer feel like Rip Van Winkle. I've woken up and I have smelled the legislative process. It is now, in the famous words of that famous baseball player philosopher, it's deja vu all over again. Continues to be the same issue of transparency. We are waiving a rule in order to meet a rule, and there's still serious transparency issues in this process. I realize we're going to hear it next week in a Budget Committee, the budget bills, but the transparency of this process still is sorely lacking. I urge a no vote.

Thank you, Senator Niello, any further discussion or debate? Members, any further discussion or debate? Seeing none, Senator McGuire, you may close.

Thank you so much. And to be fair, Members, there have been literally dozens upon dozens of hearings, thanks to the leadership of Chair Skinner, as well as our Budget Subcommittees on this year's budget. Thousands of Californians have dialed in, commented on it, or shown up at hearings to be able to share their belief on where this Senate and Assembly should go. We also held a policy hearing with Democrats and Republicans alike, chaired by Senator Min at Natural Resources.

So while I understand there may be disagreements on the policy, when we take a look at what the process has been, we have been steadfast in having dozens of hearings where thousands of folks have participated since early this year. I would respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Senator McGuire has concluded the debate on the motion to amend. Secretary, please recall the roll.

[Roll Call]

On a vote of 30 to eight, the motion is adopted. We're going to move next Members to Committee announcements. Committee announcements. I believe there are two of them. Want to first recognize. Senator Min.

Thank you, Mr. President. Natural Resources and Water Committee will meet 15 minutes after adjournment.

Thank you, Senator Min. Senator Cortese. Senator Cortese, do you have a Committee announcement to make?

Yes. Senate Labor, Public Employment and Retirement Committee will be called to order 15 minutes after the adjournment of session.

Thank you. Thank you, Senator Cortese. We're going to now conclude our session by moving to motions and resolutions. This is the time to address the adjourn in memory motions from Senators. We'd like to ask Senators to give the respect to these two Members who have remarks to give. We'll first start with Senator Blakespear.

Thank you, Mr. President. Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate, I rise today to present my first adjourn in memory as a California State Senator, in honor of the memory of Ira Howard Sharp, a loving husband of Roseanne, father of Andrew and Elizabeth, and grandfather of Samuel. Ira and his wife Roseanne were a power couple in the gun violence prevention space in San Diego County.

I wear orange today, the color of the Gun Violence Prevention movement, in honor of the cause that we both care so much about. Ira Howard Sharp died young at age 80 on June 10, 2023, following a brief illness. Ira was an organizer, a deep thinker, a doer, and a really positive and fun guy to be around. Together with his wife of 55 years, Ira began fighting against gun violence.

After the tragic shooting in Parkland and the birth of his grandson, Roseanne hosted events that would bring together community leaders in the gun safety space and elected representatives at all levels. Ira clearly saw that action at the local level was as important as action at higher levels because together we create the world that we share. Ira and Roseanne founded Never Again California, which rallied the community and was instrumental in passing legislation that banned gun shows and gun sales at the Del Mar fairgrounds.

This was a multiyear, transformational effort. The initial law then became the roadmap for a statewide ban in 2022, which was authored by my colleague from Orange County here to my right. Also in 2019, Ira brought together elected officials and advocacy groups to create the Safe Storage California Project, and he had one goal, which was to get gun safety materials in front of parents and kids. He was effective because he did not care about attribution, recognition or appreciation.

And even in death, he did not ask for this honor. What he asked for was donations for Brady's campaign to end gun violence. Ira's commitment to a better world extended beyond gun safety issues. In the very last election, at age 80, he was spending hours helping verify signatures of voters. Using his lawyer's mind and his indefatigible energy, Ira understood the simple truth that we too often forget, which is at the heart of every issue, every policy and every disagreement, are people.

And people, however imperfect, have the capacity for good. So as we strive for good here in the California State Senate, I hope that like Ira Howard Sharp, we will continue to be a force for good. Thank you.

Thank you, Senator Blakespear. On this matter Senator, Min, you're recognized.

Thank you, Mr. President. I want to thank my colleague from Encinitas for bringing this forward. I also rise to commemorate the memory of Ira Howard Sharp. While I do not know him as long or as well as my colleague from Encinitas, I felt fortunate to have known him for some period in my life to call him a friend. He was, as the Senator from Encinitas mentioned, a well respected Member of the San Diego community.

He was a force for good who spent much of his life dedicated to ending gun violence. He sat on the board of the Brady Campaign to End Gun Violence, and he and his wife, Roseanne, founded Never again California to spearhead community based efforts against gun violence. As was mentioned before, Ira was passionate about ending gun shows at our county fairgrounds, including in Del Mar. But he was an essential partner to me and my staff in the passage of my bills.

SB 264, which ended gun shows at the Orange County Fairgrounds, and SB 915, which ended gun shows on all stateowned properties around the State of California. Ira worked tirelessly to help impose a ban on ghost gun sales and champion the Safe Storage California Initiative to try to reduce firearms death through better education by sending home information on the importance of safe firearms storage to the parents and guardians of every student in California's public school districts.

After a brief and frankly, very unexpected battle with lung disease, Ira passed away on June 10. This sudden and tragic loss is a reminder that life is short and fragile. But Ira lived his life with no regrets, with a strong moral compass and the passion to follow through on what he thought was right. His legacy lives on through his life's work and the most important thing in the world to him, family.

My sincerest condolences go out to Roseanne, their son Andrew and his wife Kareem and his grandson Samuel, as well as his daughter, Elizabeth Sharp and his three sisters, Jacqueline, Barbara and Sally. Ira, you will be missed but not forgotten. There are many, many of us who will continue to carry on your legacy with our work, including me and I believe my colleague to the left from ensigned. Thank you.

Thank you, Senator Blakespear. Please bring his name forward so he can be properly memorialized in the Senate Journal. Next, I want to recognize Senator Gonzalez.

Thank you, Mr. President and Members. Today I rise to adjourn in the memory of former Mayor of Paramount Tom Hansen, a longtime public servant. On Wednesday, May 31, 2023, Mayor Hansen passed away in Lake Havasu, Arizona, at the age of 78. He attended Paramount Public Schools, Compton College, and then Palmer College of Chiropractic in Iowa. He opened a chiropractic office in Paramount in 1972.

Mayor Hansen was a Member of the local Elks Lodge, President of the Rotary Club, and Member of the board of directors of the Paramount Chamber of Commerce. And if you were running for State Senate by chance, you had to meet with him. He was one of those Paramount residents and leaders that you absolutely had to meet with. He served on the city's park and Recreation Commission Mission in the early 1970s and was named to the Planning Commission in 1996. He absolutely loved Paramount.

In 2007, he was also elected to the City Council, where he served three terms as mayor before retiring in 2020. He focused his time and energy on enhancing youth and senior programs, revitalizing small businesses, and ensuring that leaders in Paramount were not just seeing Paramount and doing everything they could within the city, but really for the Southeast Los Angeles region. And for that, I respectfully ask that we adjourn in his memory and offer our sincere condolences to his family. Thank you.

Thank you, Senator Gonzalez. Please bring Mayor Hansen's name forward so he can be properly memorialized in the Senate Journal. Members, if there is no other business before the Senate, Senator Grove, the desk is clear.

Thank you, Mr. President, colleagues, the Senate will be in recess until 330, at which time the adjournment motion will be made. We will reconvene Monday, June 26 at 02:00 p.m. There is a handwritten note on these adjournment notes, and if I could read the majority leader's handwriting correctly, I think it says, hey, bring on the goats. Is that what it says? Again, the adjournment motion will be made at 330 and we will reconvene at June 26 at 02:00 p.m., hey, me bring on the goat. Figure that one out.

Thank you, Senator Grove. The Senate will now be in recess until 03:30 p.m. At which time the adjournment motion will be made. We will reconvene Monday, June 26, at 02:00 p.m. Thank you very much, Members.
