Senate Standing Committee on Appropriations

The Committee on Appropriations will come to order. We do not have a quorum, so we will start as a sub-commitee for individuals wishing to provide public comment through the teleconference line. The participant number is 877-226-8163 and the access code is 694-8930. Again, the phone number is 877-226-8163 and the access code is 694-8930. We're holding our Committee hearing in the Oak Street Building this morning. Obviously, we want Members to come on down, so we have a quorum to room 2200.

We do not have one yet, so we're going to start as a sub-commitee. We have 65 bills on today's agenda, of which one is a do pass recommendation. The remaining are suspense. Before we begin our hearing - we're not going to do that. Obviously, I want to remind all witnesses to limit their testimony to the fiscal aspects of the Bill and refrain from repeating prior testimony.

I may also need to put limits on testimony if we've got a lot of folks, but we'll play that as we go by. The Department of Finance has notified the Committee that they do not have any files on the Bill, so we're not going to be hearing from them. Hold on one second. All right, so we want our witnesses to limit their testimony. Where's my list of bills? Do you have an extra one?

I can just use it on my computer.

Are you sure? All right. So again, we have 65 bills. One is a do pass. I see Senator Blakespear is here, who wishes to present on her Bill. She is SB 7. We'll take that out of order since the Senator is here, hopefully with some brief comments. Senator, if you could come up and tell us about SB 7, which is a suspense candidate. So the Bill is slated to go on suspense, which we'll do once we have a quorum.

Well, thank you, Mr. Chair and colleagues. My testimony is less than one minute, and so is the person who's speaking, so it should be brief. Today I present to you SB 7, which would create a responsibility for every city to provide homeless-serving housing according to the number of residents who are homeless, based on their point in time count. No one deserves the loss of dignity, safety, and the adverse impacts of physical and mental health that homelessness causes.

We all deserve to be able to use public spaces free of people living in them as well. This bill will create clear roles and accountability when it comes to ending homelessness. Right now, most cities in the State of California do not have any obligation to provide homeless-serving housing. It is entirely discretionary. I will continue to engage with the relevant parties to determine the source of funding for SB 7. Clearly, articulating that cities are responsible for providing homeless serving housing using state funds will bring us closer to ending the humanitarian crisis of homelessness.

I would like to thank the Committee again for its efforts to address the homelessness crisis and for your consideration of SB 7. With me in support is Mahdi Manji from the Inner City Law Center.

Good morning, Mr. Chair and Members. My name is Mahdi Manji. I'm with the Inner City Law Center, and we're very proud to sponsor Senate Bill 7. Inner City Law Center is federal pro bono legal services provider. We provide free legal services to families and individuals who are homeless to help them get housing and stay housed. I want to start by sharing my experience with homelessness. In 2016, I worked on the field campaign for Senate District 25 in Pasadena and Claremont.

The campaign was very successful, but shortly thereafter, I was evicted from the room I was renting in Whittier. And I remember afterwards sitting in a coffee shop, having moved all my belongings into a storage unit. I tried to find a room to rent over the last few weeks, but I wasn't very successful in finding a place to stay. And as it got closer to closing time, a great sense of fear sort of began overtaking me. And I remember that fear distinctly.

I hope none of you are familiar with that feeling of not knowing where you're going to sleep. It's this very immobilizing fear, and it makes it difficult to look beyond the immediate crisis and to imagine a better future. I share this story because I know what separates me from someone who was forced to sleep on the street was luck and a helping hand. And I believe in the wealthiest state in the wealthiest nation in the world, we can do better.

I believe that we can require every locality to consider the needs of the residents without a home when they're planning for housing. SB 7 requires localities to take the needs of their homeless residents to account, plan to end homelessness, and provide housing opportunities to homeless residents. Localities can provide these opportunities in a variety of locally tailored methods. SB 7 will support localities in creating a path to end homelessness. And Inner City Law Center is very proud to support SB 7.

Like to thank everyone for the opportunity to speak, especially the chair. And thank you very much. We urge you to vote yes on SB 7.

Are there other witnesses in support? Are you coming up this way? All right.

Robert Copeland...ACCE. Strong support. Thank you.

Should I ask Senator Blakespear the question? All right, I got to find where it is. Hold on. There it is. The first question, i's true or false.

They actually estimate it was closer to 10:00 p.m.. Not midnight. And he did not say, The British are coming. He most likely said, anybody want to take a stab at the harder part of the question? No. Since most of the colonists referred to themselves as British, he most likely said, the regulars are out. Sylvia, did you know that?

It is true. Mr. Wiener, as the last person here, you get the hard part.

Explain how Alaska can be both the westernmost and easternmost state in the country.

Well, it depends what direction you're coming from.

No, that's a good stab.

Is it?

Because of the way the Arctic jurisdiction.

It crosses the dateline. But it's the Aleutian Islands that are on one side and the mainland is on the other side, so that's why it's the most eastern. All right, it's all good. So now we know.

How about opposition?

Mr. Chair and Members, Paul Deera, representing the Western States Petroleum Association. This Bill would establish an unprecedented presumptive liability on all oil operators in the state without requiring any proof that a well caused any harm. The Bill would make the legislative be the finder of fact, and it would come to the critical issue of causation and certain damages. Guilt is not decided by the courts with a preponderance of evidence. Guilt is decided by the Legislature.

In addition to the costs listed in the analysis, we also believe, and we have a legal opinion, that the state is an owner of wells and state title, as well as the City of Long Beach and Newport Beach. And the presumptive liability would be shared by those cities and the state as well, adding to the cost. Thank you.

Anyone else in opposition?

Chair and Member Sean Wallentine from the California Independent Petroleum Association. Strongly opposed to the Bill. This Bill would kill the oil industry in California, kill jobs.
