Assembly Concurrent Resolution 36 by Assembly Member Connolly relative to Compost Awareness Week.

Mr. Connolly, you are recognized.

Thank you, Ms. Speaker and Members. International Compost Awareness Week takes place May 7 through May 13. Every year, it's a time for governments, communities, and Californians to come together to promote composting and raise awareness about its many benefits. This year's theme for healthier soil, healthier food, compost, highlights the important role that composting plays in creating healthy soils and promoting sustainable agriculture. From a climate perspective, compost helps reduce the need for chemical fertilizers and pesticides, increases water-holding capacity, and reduces erosion.

It is also proven to sequester massive amounts of carbon in California soils to help reverse climate change. Beyond just its climate benefits, ton for ton, composting generates four times more jobs than landfilling, the same material the California Legislature committed to composting back in 2016 when it passed SB 1383 to require the state to divert organic waste from landfills and encourage compost use throughout the state.

I'm joined today by representatives in the gallery from Californians Against Waste and California Compost Coalition, who have worked tirelessly to promote composting across the state. If you can actually stand up, welcome. And I'm excited to be celebrating compost with all of you this week as a critical tool to support the state's agriculture, address the changing climate, and help feed the world. I respectfully ask that we open the roll and first vote for co-authors.

Thank you, Mr. Connolly. After the debate of the resolution, we'll allow you to introduce your guests, seeing and hearing no others wishing to speak on this item. Would you like to close?

Thank you for your consideration. I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Would you like to open up for co-authors? Be the first roll call be open for co-authors.

Yes, I would.

All Members who desire to vote, vote. The Clerk will close the roll. We have 60 co-authors. Without objection, we will now take a voice votes on the resolution. All those in favor say aye. Opposed? The ayes have it. The resolution is adopted. Would you like to reintroduce your guest, Mr. Connolly?

All right, let's do it again. Please join me in welcoming California Compost Coalition and Californians Against Waste in the gallery.

Moving on to file 48 HR 31. The Clerk will read.

House Resolution 31 by Assemblymember Jackson and others relative to Mental Health Awareness Month. Dr. Jackson, you are recognized.

Thank you very much, Madam Speaker. I'm here to recognize HR 31, recognizing May of 2023 as Mental Health Awareness Month. Dear colleagues, we are indeed in a mental health crisis. The California Secretary of Health and Human Services states that mental health conditions affect more than half of U.S. People over their lifetime and contribute to worse overall health and risk of death by suicide in California.

Serious mental illness and substance use disorders have a significant impact on young adults with mood disorders and schizophrenia as the first and third leading causes of hospitalizations, respectively. For Californians aged 15 to 24, mental health conditions are the second leading cause of years lived with disability for Californians and the leading cause for children between the ages of five to 14. Emphasizing the need to strengthen prevention, early identification and compassionate care. Untreated mental health problems or substance use and addiction can result in injury and premature death.

In 2021, over 4000 Californians died by suicide. The overall number of suicide deaths has decreased since 2018. However, with specific groups that include the Black and Latino community, it is among the top five causes of death. Hospitalizations and emergency Department visits for Mental health related conditions are higher among Black individuals than for any other race or ethnic group. Studies show that Indigenous people have disproportionately higher rates of mental health problems such as suicide, posttraumatic stress disorder, violence, and substance use disorder.

But for this month in 2023, Mental Health Awareness Month, the theme adopted by many private and public organizations is more than enough. The National alliance on Mental Illness states that this is an opportunity for all of us to come together and remember the inherent value we each hold. No matter our diagnosis, appearance, socioeconomic status, background or ability. We want every person out there to know that if all you did was wake up today, that's more than enough.

No matter what, you are inherently worth more than enough of life, love and healing. Showing up just as you are for yourself and the people around you is more than enough. Mental health issues span a broad range of conditions. Depression and anxiety are conditions Many people are dealing with, some for the first time. So if you are experiencing any of these, talk with your primary care physician.

It is also important to talk to friends and family if you have concerns, no one should have to deal with it alone, and as Members of the Legislature, we are no different. None of us should deal with this alone. While these conditions are not new, they are coming in waves with unprecedented force and acuity that our health care systems have become overburdened and under much stress. This is the crisis we must address together, and I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Thank you Dr. Jackson. Assemblymember Pellerin, you are recognized.

Thank you, Madam Speaker and Members. And thank you to my colleague from Marino Valley for introducing this important resolution. As Vice Chair of the Select Committee on California's Mental Health Crisis, I rise today in support of HR 31, which proclaims May 2023 as Mental Health Awareness Month. My family for many years has been profoundly impacted by mental illness, so I know firsthand that navigating resources for mental health care can be daunting.

My personal experience of identifying the right counselors, treatment facilities and finding out how to pay for it all is very overwhelming. On top of this, the stigma against people facing mental health issues made it difficult to seek much needed support from friends and family. I am here as an advocate for mental health and to recognize that our State of our mental health is a public health crisis.

There is a lack of parity with physical health care, shortage of trained counselors, deficiency of resources, insufficient number of bed facilities, absence of mobile mental health care, to name just a few of the challenges we have here in California. Moreover, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, disruptions in daily routines, including school closures, social isolation, family economic hardship, family loss or illness, and reduced access to health care intensify the mental health concerns of millions.

Our state's 9-8-8 system is a good step toward improving access to mental health counselors, providing those who suffer with someone to call or text. But we still need to work on someone to come and somewhere to go. I've asked our Assembly Rules Committee to post the 988 number in all public restrooms here in the Capitol because I believe it's critical for people to know about this service and to know that they are not alone in their mental health struggles.

Today, after the reopening of the state, millions of individuals across California and around the globe are still grieving the deaths and illnesses of friends and family as part of the aftermath of the pandemic. We know that separately from the pandemic, mental health issues impact all of us and surpass age, gender, class and age. I'm hearing children as young as two years old are suffering with mental health conditions.

In addition to the COVID impacts on mental health, today's world of gun violence, bullying, social media impacts, climate change, racial disparities and LGBTQIA discrimination and division have made many of us feel isolated and depressed.

It is my hope that in supporting this House Resolution, we join together in recognizing the seriousness of mental health issues, taking action to expand access to mental health services, but also in reducing the stigma against seeking help by coming out in full non judgmental support of peers, friends and family who are in crisis so that they may more easily find the resources they need.

My office provided to each of you with a mental health awareness poster, a bracelet which I'm wearing today, and stickers so you can help us in promoting mental health care for all. I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Thank you, Assemblymember Pellerin. Assemblymember Waldron, you recognize.

Thank you, Madam Speaker and Members, I rise in strong support of HR 31, recognizing May as Mental Health Awareness Month in California. As a Member of both the Select Committee on California's Mental Health Crisis and the Bicameral Mental Health Caucus, I am very passionate about this topic and what we can do to address the root causes of this crisis and end the stigma around it. Early treatment and reducing stigma are key to addressing the mental health crisis.

Lack of workforce, lack of available beds, peer support, and limited health coverage are some of the major stumbling blocks in addressing this problem. I would like to thank the Assembly Member from Moreno Valley for his leadership on this topic and as the chair of the Select Committee on California's Mental Health Crisis. Thank you, and I respectfully ask for your support on HR 31.

Thank you. Assembly Member Waldron, seeing and hearing no others wishing to comment on this, Dr. Jackson, would you like to close?

Thank you very much, Madam Speaker. You know, I and my own family have not been immune to this crisis, having lost an uncle to schizophrenia, addiction and homelessness, and a brother on the streets of California as we speak, as he suffers from bipolar disorder and addiction, and myself having suffered from anxiety. Addressing this crisis and providing healing to all those in need is one of the greatest challenges of this body and perhaps one of the very top for this generation.

This Legislature has already done great work to increase access for those in need, and I know we can do more to meet this critical moment. I know we are rethinking how to modernize our mental health system and better treat those with mental illness, substance use disorder, and the tens and thousands suffering from homelessness, especially our veterans.

But I am excited to share in this effort, for we know that ways of the past have not been the solution of the present and cannot be the pathways towards the future. But unfortunately, if we ask ourselves the question, if we are doing everything we can do to stabilize our population and improve the mental health of our fellow residents, unfortunately, the answer is no. We can do more, and we must do more.

May we take this month to raise awareness, highlight and discuss mental health, to destigmatize this condition, to address its impacts, and to heal, and to push even harder to meet this moment, we together are more than enough to make this happen. I respectfully ask for an aye vote and for the first role to be open for co authors.

Thank you, Dr. Jackson. The Clerk will open the roll for co authors. All Members who desire to vote, vote. Members. This is for co authors. All Members who desire to vote, vote. All Members who desire to vote, vote. The Clerk will close the roll. We have 66 co authors. Without objection, we will now take a voice vote on the resolution. All those in favor say aye. Opposed say no. The ayes have it. The resolution is adopted. Mr. Jackson, Dr. Jackson, would you like to you recognize for your guest introductions.

Thank you very much, Madam Speaker, Members. With us today in the gallery is Mara James, founder and CEO of the Extraordinary Live foundation, and her associate, Hannah Nussbaum. The Extraordinary Live foundation is a nonprofit working to improve children and to give them the tools to address their own mental illnesses. Please recognize our guests as they stand here in the gallery.

Thank you. We'll pass and retain file item 8 and 9. Moving to file item number 10. AB 56. The Clerk will read Assembly Bill 56 by Assemblymember Lackey and others in act relating to victims compensation and making an appropriation. Therefore, Mr. Lackey, you are recognized.

Thank you. Madam Speaker and colleagues, I'm pleased to present AB 56, which expands victims victims compensation for emotional injuries sustained through surviving specified crimes. This legislation will provide victims of violent crime with compensation to make therapies and other forms of care more accessible while they navigate their trauma recovery process. A prevalent psychological injury for victim survivors is posttraumatic stress disorder. As we've all heard, each case of PTSD is unique.

Given a survivor's history and circumstance, the severity of these factors could prolong the length of a recovery period. There is an immediate need to address trauma, as prolonged exposure to it can lead to serious health issues. A lack of access to care could be influential in the development of substance use disorders and behavioral health issues. By providing victim survivor with compensation, we validate their pain and suffering while covering expenses they incur through no fault of their own.

AB 56 prioritizes addressing trauma within our justice system, which improves outcomes for everyone involved. It would expedite services for healing toxic stress, which would have a long term benefit to our shared health care system. By limiting the possibility of issues manifesting later. As we reorient our criminal justice system, we should look to implement trauma informed policy wherever possible. And I believe this is an impactful step in that direction. I ask for your support.

Thank you. Assemblymember Lackey seeing and hearing. No further debate. Would you like to. I'm sorry. Mr. Bryan, you are recognized.

Thank you. Madam Speaker, I rise in support of AB 56. I want to thank my colleague from the Antelope Valley for bringing this Bill forward. There's a need to make sure that the victims Compensation Fund expands to cover all the needs that victims are going to have. This is one of those bills that takes us a step further. I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Now, seeing and hearing no others wishing to comment on this Bill. Mr. Lackey, would you like to close?

Respectfully ask for your support. Thank you.

The Clerk will open the roll. All those votes who desire to vote all those vote who desire to vote. All those votes who desire to vote, vote. The Clerk will close the roll. Ayes 65, noes 15.

Thank you, Madam Speaker, at the request of Assemblymember Flora, please remove item 124, ACR 68, Petrie Norris from the consent calendar.

Clerk will note. Moving to our next file. File item number 11, AB 96. The Clerk will read Assembly Bill 96 via Assemblymember Kalra and accolading the public employment. Assemblymember Kalra, you are recognized.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Members AB 96 will require public transit agencies to notify transit unions of their intention to procure or deploy autonomous transit vehicle technology at least 10 months prior. Upon notification, the transit employer will be required to bargain with the union over the development and implementation of the new technology, as well as the creation of a transition or retraining plan for affected workers. With recent amendments, the California Transit Association has become neutral on the Bill. I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Thank you, Assembly Member Kalra, seeing and hearing no others wishing to speak, would you like to close?

I ask for your aye vote.

The Clerk will open the roll. All those who desire to vote, vote. All those who desire to vote, vote. All those who desire to vote, vote. All those who desire to vote, vote. The Clerk will close the roll. Ayes 47 noes nine. Measure passes. We will pass and retain file item 12 through 14. Moving to file item number 15, AB 114. The Clerk will read.

Assembly Bill 114 by Assemblymember Bonta in accolade to the Corrections and Rehabilitation. Assemblymember Bonta, you're recognized.

Good morning and thank you, Madam Speaker and Members. In 2016, the state directed CDCR to update its mission and move away from punishment and towards restorative justice. However, there is a disconnect between how CDCR views and state's incarceration mission and how the penal Code views incarceration. AB 114 eliminates this disconnect by doing two things. First, it clarifies that once a person has been sentenced to a term of incarceration, the punishment goal of sentencing is satisfied, meaning that a person's incarceration alone is punishment.

Second, it clarifies that the purpose of incarceration is rehabilitation and preparing for reentry, and highlights the critical role community based organizations have in providing this type of programming. Simply put, AB 114 puts the R back into CDCR. This Bill has no opposition and no, no votes. I respectfully request your aye vote.

Seeing none. Mr. Patterson, you're recognized.

Thank you very much, Madam Speaker. I rise in opposition to this measure, whether or not how people feel about the purpose of prison to be rehabilitation. The reality is, right now, when you enter prison, because of new regulations under Proposition 57, which, by the way, were adopted in 2021 with no in person public input, you get your release date the second you enter prison, and for most crimes, it's 50% off your sentence.

And so if we're going to provide rehabilitation in this state, then we actually have to provide rehabilitation. That's not what we're doing right now. And so, because of that, I respectfully oppose this measure.

Mr. Essayli, you're recognized.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I also rise in opposition. I think we need to reconsider the purpose and priorities of prison. Our failed criminal justice reforms, which focus on purely or primarily rehabilitating offenders, is not working. We must recognize that some people are not capable of rehabilitation. I've had two police officers shot and killed in my district this session. When you shoot a police officer in the face. I don't want to rehabilitate you. I want to lock you up so you can never do that again.

Punishment is an essential element of our penal code system. The Penal Code is intended to be punitive. And when you commit a crime and you violate the rules of society, you should and must be punished. If then we can rehabilitate you, I'm all for it. We cannot remove punishment from the equation. And with that, I urge a no vote to this. And I ask that we have a conversation of how to balance punishment and rehabilitation, but not remove punishment from the equation. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Essayli. Mr. Bryan, you are recognized.

Thank you, Madam Speaker, colleagues, despite the inflammatory rhetoric that we've heard on this floor already, there is a misalignment between what the Penal Code says the definition of the Department of Corrections is, and what CDCR literally says its own purpose is. And its mission statement. All this Bill does is align those two languages. It's a technical Bill. It's a smart Bill. I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Thank you, Mr. Bryan. Ms. Bauer-Kahan, you are recognized.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I rise because. Look, I am a Member of this body who has represented criminals in court, and I do believe in punishment. I do believe freedom should be taken away when somebody commits a crime. But I also believe in humanity. And I believe that there are people who can and want the help that we should be able to give them when they go into prison and spend time in our care.

And then they leave and they recidivate, which, by the way, means more crime in our communities. Which makes us less safe. We have failed. We have failed Our communities because people will reenter. And if we do not rehabilitate them, then our crime rates just go up and up and up. And right now, at this moment, when our communities want to be safe, one of the most important things we can do is make sure that people who are our custody do not leave and reoffend.

And that is what the author is asking of each and every one of us, is that we do what is in our power to make our communities safer, to ensure that those who want a second chance and can have a second chance get the help they need while they are in our custody, and they get out and they become good neighbors again, because that's what every single one of us should want. And with that, I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Thank you, Ms. Bauer-Kahan. Seeing no others wishing to speak, Ms. Bonta, would you like to close?

Request permission to read.

Without objection.

I want to read for clarification what the current mission statement of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation says is its mission statement. To facilitate the successful reintegration of the individuals in our care back to their communities, equipped with the tools to be drug free, healthy, and employable Members of society by providing education, treatment, rehabilitative and restorative justice programs, all in the safe and humane environment that we provide. Members, I respectfully request your aye vote.

Thank you, Ms. Bonta. The Clerk will open the roll. Those vote who desire to vote, vote. All those votes who desire to vote, vote. All those votes who desire to vote, vote. The Clerk will close. The Clerk will close the roll. Aye 51. No 14. The measure passes.

Moving to item 16 AB 722. The Clerk will read.

Assembly Bill 722 by Assemblymember Bonta and others in accolading the health authorities.

Assemblymember Bonta, you are recognized.

Thank you, Madam Speaker and Members. AB 722 is a district Bill extending a sunset which limits contracting out until 2030, reflecting a compromise between labor and management. We received bipartisan support and Committee and there is no opposition. I respectfully request your aye vote.

Seeing no others wishing to comment on this, would you like to close? I respectfully request your aye vote. The Clerk will open the roll. All those who desire to vote, vote. All those vote.

The Clerk will read Assembly Bill 285 by Assemblymember Luz Rivas and others in accolading the pupil instruction.

Assemblymember Luz Rivas, you are recognized.

Thank you, Madam Speaker and Members, I rise to present AB 285, an important Bill that 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. AB 285 would ensure that climate change education is taught in our schools by requiring the appropriate coursework to be offered to students no later than the 202425 school year.

Youth have already mobilized as key leaders in climate and environmental activism because they know their generations will have to live with the consequences of a changed climate. AB 285 will empower students to find climate change solutions by making climate change a state education priority. Thank you. And I respectfully ask for an aye vote. Seeing no others wishing to comment on this item, would you like to close? Yes. Thank you. And 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, vote. All those votes who desire to vote, vote. The Clerk will close the roll. I 56 noes two. The measure passes. We're going to pass and retain item 21 and 22. Moving on to item number 23, AB 648.

The Clerk will read Assembly Bill 648 by Assemblymember Valencia and others in accolade the common interest developments.

Assemblymember Valencia, you are recognized.

Buenos tardes, Madam Speaker and Members. AB 648 will increase homeowner accessibility and participation in Homeowner Association meetings by allowing these meetings to take place via teleconference. The Bill does not mandate teleconference meetings, but rather creates an additional option for members to participate in associations report significant increases of participation when members are able to participate remotely rather than in person. Often, working individuals are those who are left out of participating because they are unable to be present physically.

AB 648 will provide an additional option for neighbors and community members to participate in HOA meetings. This measure enjoys strong bipartisan support. Gracias. I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Seeing here no others wishing to speak on this item. The Clerk will open the roll. All those who desire to vote, vote. All those who desire to vote, vote. All those who desire to vote, vote. The Clerk will close the roll. Aye 69 noes zero. The measure passes. Do I say that we will pass and retain items 24 and 25? We will pass temporarily. Item number 26. Pass and retain 27 through 31. Moving to item number 32. AB 301

The Clerk will read Assembly Bill 301 by Assemblymember Bauer-Kahan and others in accolading to crimes.

Assemblymember Bauer-Kahan, you are recognized. Thank you. Madam Speaker and Members, I rise today in the wake of yet another weekend of mass shootings, one in our own communities here in Chico. Over the weekend and yesterday, I sat with a constituent whose best friend was at the mall in Texas, hiding as people around her were hunted.

And it just reminds us that we have to do everything we can here in California to keep our constituents safe in the face of what is truly a gun violence epidemic. Today, I present AB 301, a Bill that allows a court to consider the acquisition of body armor when issuing a gun violence restraining order. Body armor has become the go to accessory for mass shooters, enabling them to prolong their attacks against our communities and making it harder for law enforcement to do their job.

According to the Violence Project, 21 mass shooters have worn body armor during their attacks, including recent mass shootings in Buffalo as well as here in San Bernardino. body armor alone may not be indicative of violence, but it is highly relevant if a person has also purchased gun or ammunition within six months of the GVRO request being filed. Acquisition of Body Armor is a signal that a person anticipates requiring protection from bullets.

When combined with recent threats of violent behavior, this acquisition can be an important indicator of increased risk to our communities. With that, I respectfully ask for your aye vote on this important measure.

Seeing no others wishing to speak on this item, the Clerk will open the roll. All those who desire to vote, vote. All those who desire to vote, vote. All those who desire to vote, vote. The Clerk will close the roll. Aye 48, no, seven. The measure passes. We will pass and retain item number 33. Moving on to 34. AB Seven 60, the Clerk will read.

Assembly Bill 760 by Assemblymember Wilson and others in accolading the public postsecondary education.

Assemblymember Wilson, you are recognized.

Madam Speaker. Good afternoon, Members. I rise today to present AB 760 which would allow students and faculty attending a California State University or University of California to designate their affirmed name while in the institution, per the individual's request. By allowing internal records, such as class rosters or campus identification cards to reflect an individual's affirmed name, the California State University and University of California System can eliminate systemic dead naming of transgender and nonbinary individuals.

AB 760 will help to support current students, staff or faculty members who wish to use an affirmed name and gender identification, an important step towards fostering a campus environment that is inclusive and supportive.

Thank you, Assembly Member Wilson. Assemblymember Aguiar-Curry, you're recognized.

Madam Speaker and Members, I rise today on behalf of the Legislative Women's Caucus in support of AB 760 by my friend from Sioux City. AB 760 is a simple but significant Bill allowing students, faculty and staff to choose how they want to identify in name and or gender, and it will foster a campus environment of respect, inclusion and support. This Bill is a woman's caucus priority, and I ask for your aye vote.

Thank you, Assemblymember Aguiar-Curry. Assemblymember Addis, you're recognize.

Good afternoon Members I rise as a proud co author of AB 760 and thank my colleague from Susan City for bringing this forward. LGBTQ youth are strong and resilient, but also face huge barriers on our college campuses. Transgender and nonbinary youth face high levels of harassment, bullying, physical assault, sexual assault, dead naming, and in some circumstances, delayed or no degree completion. So many issues of campus safety stem from an unwelcoming and unhealthy environment, and we must assure that we are setting up all students for success through affirming practices.

And AB 760 does just that by preventing the use of dead names and promoting chosen names and correct pronouns. So I thank the author for bringing forward this Bill, and I ask for your strong support.

Thank you, Assembly Member, Assemblymember Wilson. Seeing and hearing no others would you like to close?

I thank the Members of the Women Caucus for their support and endorsement of this very necessary Bill. I thank my co-authors, especially the one who stood up my colleague. With that, I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

The Clerk will open the roll. All those who desire to vote, vote. All those who desire to vote, vote. All those who desire to vote, vote. The Clerk will close the roll. Ayes 55 noes zero. The measure passes. Moving to file Item 35. AB 773, the Clerk will read.

Assembly Bill 773 by Assemblymember Pellerin and others in accolade to elections.

Assemblymember Pellerin, you're recognized.

Thank you, Madam Speaker and Members. In Multicounty Assembly districts, there can be upwards of 10 counties in a single district. The requirement that candidates drop off their candidate statement of qualification forms and payment in person at each county elections office is an unnecessary procedural hurdle faced by many candidates and can be especially burdensome for candidates in larger rural districts.

AB 773 eases the candidate filing process by requiring that all county elections officials accept electronic submissions of candidate statement of qualifications under this Bill, within 72 hours of the statement of qualifications being filed electronically. Hard copies of the statement and the form and the fees will be submitted to each county elections office by overnight mail.

Under current law, filing deadlines for arguments for and against local measures can differ by county and the same measure can have different arguments for and against printed in each different county's voter guides. And there's different deadlines and there's confusion for voters. So to ensure consistency of both candidates and voters, AB 773 establishes a lead county for multicounty local ballot measures, which would then select and transmit ballot measure arguments to all counties in the district.

AB 773 will collectively streamline the filing process for candidates local ballot measures and lessen confusion among voters. AB 773 has received bipartisan support and I respectfully ask for your aye vote. Thank you, Assemblymember Peller. And seeing and no hearing, no others wishing to comment on this item. The Clerk will open the roll. All those who desire to vote to vote. All those who desire to vote, vote. All those who desire to vote to vote. The Clerk will close the roll.

Assembly Bill 134 by Assembly Member Papan in accolade the weights and measures.

Assemblymember Papan, you are recognized.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I rise to present AB 1304, a Bill that simply increases the fees that a County Board of Supervisors may charge to Fund the operations of the county sealer of weights and measures. County sealers are tasked with testing and verifying commercial measurement devices, such as gas pumps and scales at the grocery stores. This program is established to ensure that these measurement devices are accurate and consumers are getting what they pay for.

Counties recoup testing costs through various fees charged to the owners of these devices. The current fee structure has been in place since 2008, and counties are now operating at a loss due to inflation. AB 1304 simply adjusts the associated freeze to bring them in line with inflation and increased operational costs. I request an aye vote.

In 2021, My Bill, the Peace act, was signed into law with bipartisan support to enhance peace Officer entry standards as a requirement.

An advisory task force of higher education experts, community advocates, and law enforcement was convened to provide recommendations to implement the developed modern policing degree financial aid program for students of low-income and underrepresented backgrounds and credits for prior learning and work experience. Upon receiving the task Force report, AB 458 will be updated to codify the recommendations which will enhance implementation of the Peace Act.

Assemblymember of Valencia, you are recognized.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Members AB 1068 aims to provide greater accountability and transparency to the CPUC's decision making process by ensuring all interested stakeholders are able to participate. Our democracy rests on transparency and accountability. Anyone who has comments, questions or concerns should be able to voice those points to the CPUC. AB 1068 streamlines communication access by allowing written ex parte communications at all times. The CPUC regularly makes changes to proposed decisions which may affect all of our constituencies, regardless of their geographic location.

It is not uncommon for proposed decisions to be modified as close as three days leading up to the voting meeting. In these instances, there is no opportunity for an interested individual or entity to commit. Prior to the voting meeting, the CPUC will maintain existing authority to prohibit written ex parte communication should they choose to. The CPUC's authority will be clarified through the advancement of this Bill. AB 1068 enjoys bipartisan support. Gracias and I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Assemblymember Mike Fong, you are recognized.

Good afternoon, Madam Speaker and Members. Assembly Bill 1096 clarifies that a community college district may offer courses in a language other than English without requiring a student to concurrently enroll in an English as a second language course. This Bill will allow monolingual students to earn credits necessary for employment or to maintain employment. English speakers would be able to learn a second language for jobs seeking bilingual speakers or for skill building.

AB 1096 will result in better trained individuals serving their local communities and will look at increased enrollment at our community colleges, which has experienced an 18% decline since 2019. This Bill passed out a policy community with unanimous support. I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Assembly Concurrent Resolution 29 by Assemblymember Quirk-Silva relative to Student Mental Health Awareness Week in California.

Assemblymember Quirk-Silver, you are recognized.

Thank you, Madam Speaker and Members. Today I rise to present ACR 29, which recognized May 8th through 12th as Student Mental Health Week. Earlier today, we heard from my colleagues from Moreno Valley and Santa Cruz on Mental Health. This resolution focuses on student mental health. I want to thank the co sponsors of this resolution, the California Association of School Counselors and the California Association of Social Workers, for their dedication and commitment to students and their mental health needs.

Mental health issues among youth are growing concerns, with studies showing one in five young people experiencing some form of mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, and trauma. As a teacher for over 30 years, I saw firsthand that many of our families are struggling. We know that today for students, they are growing up in a much different world than the world that many of us grew up.

We know that our students are spending many hours on social media, which, in turn, has resulted in some severe mental health issues. We know our students are getting trained at their school sites on active gun shooting drills. We know that our students are hearing and sometimes even exposed to mass shootings throughout the United States. And even if they don't know someone who has been a victim, they hear and read about it almost daily.

We also know that they're enduring a crisis of our time, the fentanyl crisis, with not only knowing individuals that may have died on their campuses, and then, of course, our students have lived through the pandemic, and many of our students lost loved ones during that pandemic. These are all crisis, but even crisis that happen every single day that we don't even put at the top of the list, like students going through a family divorce. These are issues that affect our students.

And we know that our students struggle. We know that they're depressed, they have anxiety, and they need help. And it is our responsibility as educators, as parents, as teachers, as administrators, to step up to the call for action. And our social workers and school counselors are doing that. But this must be community based, and we need support throughout our community to acknowledge that student mental health should be as important as their physical health. With that, I ask for an aye vote on ACR 29.

Thank you, Assemblymember Quirk-Silva. Dr. Jackson, you are recognized.

Thank you very much, Madam Speaker. The Member from Fullerton is absolutely right. And this week is so important to ensuring that we put a spotlight on the population that is the most in a crisis in all of our districts right now, as young people are sitting in their classrooms, there are thousands of young people suffering in silence. I'm not talking about the ones that get sent to the principal's office. I'm not talking about the ones who get suspended or expelled.

I'm talking about the ones who sit in the back and disappear. And no one understands what they're going through, many of them with suicidal ideations. And at some point, we have to ask ourselves, if our communities have fundamentally begun to shift in needs, then at what point do we have the courage to ensure that our institutions shift as well? And that includes our schools.

The best way to serve and help our young people is to making sure that we transform our schools to meet their needs of all kinds. And so it is my hope that as we continue to find ways to serve our young people, that we will do whatever it takes to making sure that we save each and every one of these children's lives and act with the urgency that we did with homelessness and act with the urgency like we did with COVID-19 I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Thank you, Dr. Jackson. Assemblymember Waldron, you're recognized.

Thank you, Madam Speaker and Members, I rise in strong support of ACR 29, recognizing this week as Student Mental Health Awareness Week. Early intervention for mental Health is critical for our students. Science is confirming that early diagnosis and early treatment can prevent further crisis. It's also important for us to thank the school counselors, social workers, and psychologists that address student mental health early and reduce the stigma around it.

I have worked for many years in the mental health space and I know that there's much more to be done, especially for our youngest and most vulnerable population. I would like to thank the author for bringing this important measure forward, and I respectfully ask for an aye vote. Thank you.

Thank you, Assemblymember Waldron, seeing and hearing no others wishing to speak. Assembly Member Quicksilver, would you like to close and would you like the first role to be open for co authors? Yes on co-authors.

And just again, let's address the student mental health with the urgency that we address physical health. Respectfully ask for your aye vote. Thank you, Assemblymember Quirk-Silva The Clerk will open the roll for co authors. All Members who desire to vote, vote. All Members who desire to vote, vote. All Members who desire to vote, vote. The Clerk will close the roll. There are 69 co authors added. Without objection. We will take a voice vote on the resolution. All those in favor say aye. Opposed say no. The ayes have it. The resolution is adopted. We will go back and pass and retain on item number 44. Pass and retain item. Moving on to item number 47, HR 19.

House Resolution 19 by Assemblymember Boerner Relative to Tardive Dyskinesia Awareness Week.

Assemblymember Boerner, you are recognized.

Good morning, Madam Speaker and Members. I rise today to speak about a little known condition that afflicts many of our fellow Californians who have been diagnosed with and are disproportionately and are appropriately treating a mental health condition, Tardive Dyskinesia, also known as TD. My resolution, AR 19, recognizes the first week of May as Tardive Dyskinesia Awareness Week. In California, more than a million people live with mental illness.

The National alliance for Mental Illness reports one in Every four patients receiving long term treatment with an antipsychotic medication will experience tardive Dyskinesia, and 70% of those living with TD have yet to be diagnosed. TD is a movement disorder characterized by uncontrollable, abnormal, repetitive movements of the torso, extremities and or face. It's often seen as lips, jaw, tongue and eyes. It can also affect other parts of the body, including the upper body, the arms, the hands, the legs and the feet.

It's estimated that over 600,000 Americans suffer from tardive Dyskinesia. Despite the number of people impacted by the condition, TD remains largely unknown. However, for patients living with TD, their families and their caregivers, it's important to know that they are not alone and help is available. The month of May is traditionally mental health Month, and because TD impacts those living with mental health conditions so significantly, it is fitting and appropriate to similarly raise awareness of TD in the broader context of mental health. I respectfully ask for an aye vote and the first roll will be open for co-authors

Seeing no others wishing to speak, the Clerk will open the roll for co authors. All Members who desire to vote, vote. All Members who desire to vote, vote. All Members who desire to vote, vote.

Assembly Bill 1469 by Assemblymember Kalra in accolade to the Santa Clara Valley Water District.

Assemblymember Kalra, you're recognized.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. AB 1469 amends the Santa Clara Valley Water District act to expand its statutory purposes and allow certain resources to be used for outreach, counseling, transitional housing or other services for unsheltered people living on public lands and along waterways within Santa Clara County. Valley Water owns and manages 294 miles of streams and habitat with the Mission to protect more than 800 miles of streams throughout Santa Clara County.

In 2022 77% of the unhoused population in Santa Clara County were unsheltered, with an estimated 2300 taking refuge on Valley Water's property or land easements. Such circumstances have led to encampments along the waterways, both a human and an environmental tragedy, amid an unprecedented need for transitional and long term housing in Santa Clara County. Cities in the county often do not have shelter space to offer.

Valley Water has very limited authority to expend its revenue outside of purposes listed in the District act leaving some human health and safety risks on their lands unaddressed. AB 1469 will provide Valley Water with the flexibility needed to direct resources to assist unsheltered people on their lands and humanely address a crisis that can no longer be ignored. Respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Assembly Bill 1472 by Assembly Member Alvarez and others in act relating to of recreational vehicle parks.

The Clerk will read

Assembly Member Alvarez, you are recognized.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Members today I rise to present AB 1472 this is an idea that came from my district because individuals and families are being impacted by an unfair business practice known as the RV Shuffle. I recommend that you listen to what the RV shuffle is because it might be happening in your district as well.

The RV shuffle involves evicting and relocating tenants from their RVs from an authorized RV Park, usually for a period about two days, 48 hours every six months to avoid that those residents or those tenants gain certain tenancy status and protections that come with it. This practice is impacting my constituents. Like I said, likely constituents in your districts, many of whom are usually elderly adults or individuals on fixed incomes who have resorted to RV living as the only place that they can afford to live in California.

The RV shuffle forces these residents to pay for hotel accommodations and relocate their RV during a period of usually again, 48 hours, just so that they can continue residing in that same RV park from which they were evicted. These are unnecessary costs and costs that many of these impacted families cannot afford. For most cases. However, this process is repeated again and again, all the time, resulting in a persistent dislocation of vulnerable populations and causing financial hardships.

AB 1472 ensures that residents that are living without the fear of intimidation, of being forced to relocate. The need for this Bill is vital. We need to ensure that and protect that these vulnerable tenants, especially at the time when the state is in dire need of affordable housing, be protected. We should not be evicting residents who have found suitable shelter and are able to abide by all the other rules, including paying their monthly rent on time. For that reason, I ask for your aye vote.

Thank you. Assembly Member Albert seeing and hearing no others wishing to comment on this item, the Clerk will open the roll. All those vote who desire to vote, all those vote who desire to vote. All those vote who desire to vote. The Clerk will close the roll, ayes 70, noes zero. Measure passes. We will pass and retain items 56 through 73. Next, we will hear item 74. AB 1643.

Assembly Bill 1643, by Assembly Member Bauer-Kahan and others an act relating to Juveniles.

Assembly Member Bauer-Kahan, you are recognized.

Thank you, Madam Speaker and Members, I'm proud to present AB 1643. A Bill that expands rehabilitation options for youth. Youth who commit Low level nonviolent offenses have the opportunity to receive diversion through the Juvenile Probation Department. We know that when juveniles get the opportunity to have these diversion opportunities and rehabilitate in their communities, their futures are brighter. Currently, the restitution cannot exceed $1,000 for them to be eligible, this would raise that. We have not done so in many decades.

It would raise it to $5,000, giving more youth the opportunity for this amazing program. With that, I respectfully ask for your Aye vote.

Assembly Member Maienschein, you are recognized.

Thank you very much, Madam Speaker and Members. AB 1684 seeks to give local governments more tools to combat the illicit cannabis market. This Bill allows for increased administrative enforcement against unlicensed commercial cannabis activities at the local level and creates opportunities for greater cooperation between local jurisdictions and the Office of the Attorney General. Current law allows local agencies to immediately impose administrative fines or penalties for illicit cannabis cultivation.

This Bill expands that authority to violations that exist as a result of any type of illegal cannabis activity, such as manufacturing, distribution, and retail sale. Thank you, and I respectfully request your Aye vote.

Assembly Member Aguiar-Curry, you're recognized.

Thank you, Madam Speaker and Members, I rise with heavy heart to adjourn in memory of my good friend Harold Anderson, my friend, my colleague, and a mentor to so many, a man who is one of the City of Winters greatest champions, a man whose impact and legacy to Winters is seen and felt on a daily basis. He was my mentor. He taught me to always listen. Harold passed away on March 4 with loved ones at his side after listening to his favorite thing, the Giants game.

That did not surprise me when I heard that, because when we used to be at the City Council meetings and the giants were playing, he'd look over to me and he goes, do you know the score? And I'd whisper it to him, yeah, I know the score. There was no other place in the world he'd love to be is at a Giants game. After graduating from Winters High School in 1961, Harold received his law degree from McGeorge School of Law.

He also served in the United States army during the Vietnam War. In his own words, Harold was just trying to make Winters a better place. He gave all he had to make Winters what it is today. He served seven consecutive terms on the Winters City Council. There went my institutional knowledge in the City of Winters. He served from June 1994, through the pandemic, to January 2023.

Additionally, he served as the city's mayor for two terms from 1988 to 1990, and from 2002 to 2004. He was honored at the Winter's Youth Day Parade.

He was a Grand marshal in 2003 and 2005. He was named Citizen of the Year for his many contributions. Harold represented winters proudly working collaboratively to bring about incredible revitalization and remarkable achievements such as a thriving downtown, the Pewter Creek Car Bridge project, the Railroad Bridge, the restoration of Pewter Creek, the North Bank Trail, the Library, the pool, the Public Safety Facility and the extension of utilities to 505 to support the new PG&E Gas and Training center.

Right by that training center, it's the Highway 505 and there's these clover leafs. And he would go out there with some of his buddies and they planted oak trees. And I can remember him on the hottest day of the year. He's out there with his bucket and making sure the trees had water and he was pruning him. And so every day I drive by there now and I think of Harold. What a beautiful job he's done for our community. He's made it a great welcome mat.

Additionally, he saw the development of much needed affordable housing projects such as Orchard Village, Blue Mountain Terrace, Winter's apartments and the rehab of the Almond Wood Apartments. There was a roundabout that he really wanted, and I'll never forget. He'd go to SACOG and someone said, you know, want to see what a roundabout would do? And he goes, well you know. And he ended up being the number one guy that wanted a roundabout. And guess what? Every morning I drive by that beautiful roundabout and I think of Harold.

He had a vision for the kids in Winters. He was highly respected, yet humble and soft spoken, never taking credit, noting that his accomplishments were more of a group effort. Harold also served on numerous other organizations such as the Winters Rotary, SACOG, Yolo-Solano Air Quality District, Yolo Transportation District, Winters, Little League, Winters AYSO. He showed his love every single time at the baseball fields and at the community.

Harold would quietly tamp and rake the Little League and high school baseball fields before the games when no one was there watching. In addition to his active civic life, Harold enjoyed camping, fishing, gardening, cycling, working on automobiles. And trust me, we all knew about his Datsuns. He loved watching baseball games with his family. He will always be remembered in my community as a gentle, a supporting and loving father and husband.

Harold is survived by his loving wife, Galene, who's here today and his two sons, Brian and Eric and his brother Ralph. And all the friends in Winters, they all are going to miss him. They're already missing him. Members, I respectfully request that you join me in a journey in the memory of Harold Anderson. He's irreplaceable and one of a kind and he will be dearly missed, but will always be with us. Thank you, Members.

Thank you. Assembly Member Aguiar-Curry. Please bring the name to the desk to be printed in the journal. All requests to adjourn in memory will be deemed read and printed in the journal. Moving to announcements. The session schedule is as follows. Tuesday, May 9, check in session. Wednesday, May 10, check in session.
