Senate Standing Committee on Appropriations

We have 99 measures on today's agenda, three of which are eligible for a due pass motion. The rest of our bills are suspense candidates. We will extend a courtesy to Members with due pass items and allow them to present their bills out of agenda order as they show up. All Members with suspense items before the Committee this morning have waived presentation. We will be taking testimony from the public on each and every item.

However, even if the author has waived presentation. I also want to announce that several bills that are listed in the daily file for today's hearing have been rescheduled to next week. These items are SB 1354 by Senator Wahab and SB 1464 by Senator Ashby. The Department of Finance has indicated that they do not have a file on any of the measures before the Committee, and their representative will not be here to testify.

So before we begin, I want to remind any witnesses to limit their testimony to the fiscal aspects of the bill. And please refrain from lengthy policy discussions and repeating prior testimony in your comments. So we are going to start today's meeting as a subcommitee until we can establish a quorum. So we'll go straight on in to our testimony. And Senator Durazo is here. Welcome. We're excited to have live senators here, as opposed to AI-produced. So, Senator Durazo, you're here on SB 1350? Very good.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair and Members. SB 1350 simply requires the Department of Industrial Relations to make recommendations to the Legislature on policies the state may adopt to protect domestic workers from work-related injuries and illnesses. We've heard about, despite caring for what we hold most dear, our families and our homes, domestic workers remain without any health and safety protections.

And that goes from during the pandemic, when domestic workers were three times more likely to have contacted COVID-19 or climate-accelerated disasters, which magnify the dangers that domestic workers and day laborers face on a daily basis. Beyond these extreme dangers, domestic workers also face risk of injury and illness in their day to day work related to lifting, chemical handling and repetitive strain, among other risks.

Since the governor's veto last year of my prior legislation removing the exclusion of private pay household domestic service employees from California's occupational health and safety requirements, I have been in conversation with his office regarding the health and safety of domestic workers. I am hopeful that those conversations will result in a meaningful step forward this year in addressing legitimate health and safety risk associated with domestic work. The DIR indicates that it would incur a one time cost of $75,000 to implement the provisions of the bill.

And with me here today in support of SB 1350 is Cynthia Gomez, Deputy Director of State Policy and Advocacy with CHIRLA. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you very much. Welcome.

Good morning, Madam Chair and Members. My name is Cynthia Gomez. I'm the Deputy Director of State Policy and Advocacy with the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights, CHIRLA. CHIRLA is a founding member of the California Domestic Workers Coalition and a current member of the Coalition Steering Committee. The California Domestic Workers Coalition represents nearly 300,000 house cleaners, nannies, home care workers in the state and has been at the forefront of working to end the exclusion of domestic workers from workplace safety standards, like many others are protected by.

Domestic workers, are a key member of the care economy, and provide critical services to many. In recent years, domestic workers have continued to work through climate disasters, wildfires, floods, and a global pandemic and are largely comprised of women and immigrants. A study conducted by the UCLA Labor Occupation of Health and Safety Program found that despite being injured, 94% of respondents reported continuing to work through their injuries out of fear of job loss or financial loss.

California has the opportunity to ensure that all workers have access to a safe work environment. SB 1350 would require the Department of Justice relations to make recommendations to the Legislature on policies that the state may adopt to protect domestic workers. We estimate that SB 1350 would be a low cost measure, but one that has the potential to benefit thousands of workers in the state. We thank you for your consideration of this bill and ask for your support.

Thank you very much. Is there anyone else that would like to testify in support? Anyone who would like to testify in opposition? Seeing neither, this is eligible for a due pass recommendation today. Are there any questions? Any questions? Okay, we do have a quorum, so it looks like we're going to be able to take action. So if you could call the roll, please.

[Roll call]

We have a quorum. Would you like to conclude?

I just respectfully ask for your support and aye vote. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you very much. Is there a motion? There is a motion by Senator-- Please call the roll.

The motion is due pass to the Senate Floor. [Roll call]

We have three votes. We'll put that on call. Thank you very much. Next up is Senator Newman. Senator Newman, you're here on SB 1449?

That is correct.

And there is a due pass recommendation on this one as well.

Thank you. Madam Chair and Members, thank you for the opportunity to present SB 1449, which would extend an existing exemption to the Private Postsecondary Education Act of 2009 to provide much needed regulatory relief to Southwestern Law School in Los Angeles. In 2010, the US Department of Education issued new guidelines requiring institutions of higher education to maintain a formal process for receiving and processing consumer complaints.

In 2015, the state's Bureau for Private Post Secondary Education invited Southwestern Law School to enter into a contract for the purposes of satisfying that requirement. Recently, however, the bureau notified Southwestern Law School that those contracts had been made in error and that absent accreditation by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, better known as WASC, Southwestern would need to become bureau licensed or it would fall out of compliance with federal law.

Moreover, the standard licensure requirements to which Southwestern would be required to conform, which were developed to regulate private educational institutions and are admirably intended to protect students interests, are in many cases, in direct conflict with the standards and practices of a dedicated nonprofit law school such as Southwestern. SB 1449 addresses this flaw in a deliberately tailored fashion by explicitly authorizing the bureau to contract with Southwestern Law School pursuant to federal requirements. I'm respectfully asking for an aye vote today.

Very good. Is there anyone here that would like to testify in support of SB 1449?

Madam Chair and Members, George Miller, on behalf of Southwestern Law in support.

Thank you very much. Anyone else in support? Is there anyone here that would like to speak in opposition to SB 1449? Seeing none. I stated earlier, the Department of Finance doesn't have files on anything, so we're not going to hear from them. Any questions of Senator Newman? Seeing none wie'll allow you to conclude.

I respectfully asking for an aye vote today.

Very good. Do we have a motion on this do pass recommendation? Senator Wahab moves the Bill. Please call the roll.

The motion is due pass to the Senate Floor. [Roll Call]

That Bill has three votes. We'll put it on call for the absent Members.

Thank you. Madam Chair and Members. Brendan Twohig, on behalf of the California Air Pollution Control Officers Association, which is the air pollution control officers from all 35 local air districts, we have an opposed position. We've seen that under the current 100-megawatt exemption, that the default is diesel when we know there are cleaner alternatives available. So we have concerns with that underlying exemption. Now, this increases at 50%.

So all we're saying is that these projects, these large projects, should go through the full, normal certification process, where there's more opportunity for public input and mitigation. So thank you.

Very good. Thank you so much. Anyone else who would like to speak in opposition?

Good morning Chair and Members of the Committee, my name's Alan Abbs, representing the Bay Area Air Quality Management District. We have an opposed unless amended position to be more protective of communities such as the City of Santa Clara, which, as the analysis notes, has had over 667 diesel engines installed in the last five years under the exemption that 1298 proposes to expand. So our amendment that we suggest would be to allow the additional exemption to the CEC but not allow those exemptions for diesel engine projects. Thank you.
