Senate resolution 102 by Senator Richardson relative to National Safe Bowden Day.

Senator Richardson at the majority leader's desk.

Good morning, mister president and members of this body. I rise to present SR 102, which declares the week of May 18 through the twenty second, National Safe Boating Week. The Department of Parks and Recreation estimates that more than 4,000,000 Californians engage in boating, fishing, and other recreational activities on California's navigable nav You got it. Waters. The division of boating and waterways estimates that Californians own approximately 2,600,000 registered and non registered recreational boats.

In 2024, The United States Coast Guard counted 377 recreational boating accidents in California that involved forty five deaths, two hundred and three injuries, and significant property damage. The majority of the accidents are caused by human error of either poor decisions, not by the boat, or the equipment, or environmental factors. Operators in intention, improper lookout, and operator's inexperience are also leading contributing factors in mishaps annually causing hundreds of accidents and dozens of fatalities.

Sixty seven percent of reported boating accident victims who died in 2024 drowned, and those drowning victims, eighty seven percent were not wearing life jackets. At a significant number of boaters who lose their lives by drowning each year would be alive today had they worn their life jackets.

Therefore, I ask you to join me in raising awareness to safe boating practices and support SR 102.

Seeing no members wishing to be recognized, members this item is eligible for unanimous roll call. Is there any objection to applying our unanimous roll call to this measure? Seeing none, ayes 32, no zero. The resolution is adopted. Next, we'll proceed to file item oh, and Senator Richardson for inter Senator Richardson for introduction of your guests.

Yes. Thank you, mister Pro Tem and members. In conjunction with the National Safe Boaters Week, I rise to present to you members of our United States Coast Guard Auxiliary. The Coast Guard Auxiliary is a uniformed, all volunteer component of the US Coast Guard that supports the Coast Guard in all non military and non law enforcement missions, including search and rescue, boating safety education, and maritime security. The auxiliary was established in 1939 and currently has over 32,000 members nationally.

Since its establishment, the men and women of the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary have volunteered millions of hours in support of our Coast Guard and the recreational boating public. In my district, Flotilla five dash nine in San Pedro, the Port Of Los Angeles includes activities such as water patrols, recreational boating safety, marine safety, environmental protection, and augmentation of the US Coast Guard. Commodore of the 11th District, Northern Region. He holds many qualifications and is a permanent cutter.

He also sits on the board of trustees for the Coast Guard Academy and the Coast Guard Foundation.

Also with him is auxiliaries, Timothy Smith. He's a part of the auxiliary here in Sacramento, Division 3 and District 11. He joined three years ago. He heads up the vessel inspections for flotilla auxiliary dash OP, and in 2024, is also a boat crew certified. I will also take privilege by noting he's the husband of my chief of staff, Autumn Smith Ogden.

Please welcome these men of service to our body. Thank you.

Yes. Thank you for keeping our boaters safe and our water is navigable and members everyone is invited to join Senator Richardson and our guests for the photo. Continuing with business on the daily file, we're members will move next to file item 44. We'll ask members to return to their desks and take any conversations out of the chambers. We'll move to I file item 44 SR 172 by Senator Nilo.

The measure will be taken up today on his behalf by Senator Ochoa Bogue. Secretary, please read.

Senate Concurrent Resolution 172 by Senator Niello, relative to Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month.

Good morning, Mr. President and ladies and gentlemen of the Senate. On behalf of Senator Niello, my seatmate, I rise to present SCR 172, which proclaims May as Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month. It's hard to believe that 28 million adults and children in the US have asthma, with more than 3 million of them living in California.

Asthma is one of the most common non contagious diseases among children. This chronic disease is also a leading cause of hospitalizations and school absences among children. Black... Black, Latino, and indigenous people face the highest burden of asthma in the US.

Despite being a manageable disease, in 2023, asthma claimed the lives of more than 3,100 US residents, including 351 Californians. With respect to allergies, nearly 22 million people in the US have food allergies, of which almost four million are children.

Food allergies have increased alarmingly among children over the past twenty years. Today, one in every thirteen children in the classroom has food allergies. Children with food allergies are two to four times more likely to have asthma or other allergic diseases.

That's why this legislative body has worked so hard on a bipartisan basis to ensure there is access to stock medications on school campuses for these serious emergencies. Given that these two medical issues are so intertwined, I respectfully ask you to join me in shining a brighter light on allergies and asthma by supporting SCR 172 proclaiming May 2026 as Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month.

There being no other Members of the Senate wishing to be recognized, Secretary, please call the roll.

[Roll Call]

Ayes 33, noes zero. The resolution is adopted. Next, we'll move to file item 40... Excuse me. Sorry. Senator Ochoa Bogh, you're recognized for introduction of guests.

Thank you, Mr. President. Joining us in the gallery, right there to my right, in coordination with this resolution are advocates, patients, and students from Senator Niello's district, including those involved with the successful passage last year of Senator Menjivar's SB 68, the ADDE, Allergen Disclosure for Dining Experiences Act. This was the first US law requiring large restaurant chains to label the top nine food allergens on menus.

Addie and her family and friends are here and are joined by the Giorgi family who are here in memory of their beautiful daughter, Natalie, who was tragically lost due to a food allergy in 2013. Thank you for continuing to shine the light of your sunshine girl. Please rise. Welcome to the California State Senate.

Welcome to the Senate. Members, we'll move next to file item 45 by Senator Weber Pierson. Secretary, please read.

Senate Concurrent Resolution 177 by Senator Weber Pierson, relative to World No Tobacco Day. Senator Weber Pierson.

Good morning. Thank you, mister president. Members, today, I will be presenting SCR 177, which proclaims 05/31/2026 as World No Tobacco Day. World No Tobacco Day was created by the World Health Organization to draw global attention to the to the tobacco epidemic and the preventable death and diseases it causes. Tobacco remains the leading cause of preventable death and disease in the world.

It kills more than four hundred and ninety thousand Americans each year, causing nearly one in five deaths in The United States. The tobacco industry has a long history of targeting youth with flavored tobacco products, aggressive marketing, and kid friendly flavors. Today that same playbook continues with e cigarettes, nicotine pouches, heated tobacco products and other quote next generation products marketed as safe or alternatives to quitting. However, these tobacco products can be even worse. Some e cigarettes contain more nicotine than 20 packs of cigarettes.

Nicotine is highly addictive and can harm adolescent brain development, particularly the parts of brain responsible for attention, memory, and learning. California has taken a strong action protect kids and communities. In 2020, we enacted SB 793, our nation leading law to ban the sale of flavored tobacco products, and voters overwhelmingly upheld that law through Prop 31 in 2022. SCR 177 declares that 05/31/2026 is World No Tobacco Day and reaffirms California's commitment to protecting our children from a life of addiction and illness.

I respectfully ask for your aye vote on SCR 177.

Thank you.

Senator resolution one zero seven by Senator Weber Pierson relative to Lupus Awareness Month.

Sorry. Senator Weber Pierson.

Thank you, Mr. President. Senators, I rise to present SR 107. Today, we recognize May 2026 as Lupus Awareness Month in California and honor the extraordinary work of the California Lupus Foundation. Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that causes the body's immune system to attack healthy tissues and organs, affecting the skin, joints, kidneys, heart, blood, and other vital systems.

Lupus impacts nearly 1.5 million Americans and thousands more are diagnosed each year. Nearly 90% of lupus patients are women and it disproportionately affects communities of color, including African American, Latino, Native American, and Asian communities. One of the greatest challenges with lupus is its diagnosis.

Symptoms can appear and disappear, often mimicking other illnesses, making lupus difficult to identify quickly. Early diagnosis and treatment are critical. Timely care can reduce disease progression, prevent organ damage, improve quality of life, and save lives.

Raising awareness is essential so patients, families, educators, and health professionals can better recognize the warning signs and support those living with lupus. Since 1976, the California Lupus Foundation has provided education, advocacy, patient support, research awareness, and resources to Californians affected by lupus.

The foundation's work has helped countless patients and caregivers navigate the challenges of this often invisible condition. This resolution recognized not only lupus awareness month, but also the compassion, leadership, and public service demonstrated by the California Lupus Foundation. I respectfully ask for an aye vote in support of this important resolution and in solidarity with millions of individuals and families impacted by lupus. Thank you.

Thank you, Senator. And Members, this item is eligible for unanimous roll call without objection. Seeing no objection. Ayes 33, noes zero. The resolution passes. Members, without objection, the Senate rules are suspended as they relate to Senate Resolution 115.

We will now take up file item two, Senate resolution 115. After adoption, we will return to privileges of the floor for the Senator to introduce guest. Secretary, please read.

Senate resolution 115 by Senator Cabaldon relative to the fiftieth anniversary of the judgment of Paris.

Senator Cabaldon, you are recognized from the majority leader's desk.

Thank you, mister president. I rise to present SR 115, which recognizes May 24, the day after tomorrow as the fiftieth anniversary of the judgment of Paris. Let me be clear at the beginning. If for those of you who are classicists, this is not the judgment of Paris in which the start of the Trojan War, but instead, it is the judgment of Paris that changed the changed the world of wine and changed California's standing in the world.

Fifty years ago, as of this Sunday, a group of vintners from the Napa Valley, principally here in California, entered a hotel ballroom in the French capital, and they turned the wine world upside down.

A panel of France's most elite distinguished judges, sommeliers, critics, winemakers, assembled and sat down to a blind tasting that they expected to be over in a few minutes. They thought they could sniff it and tell that the rustic backwater wines of California weren't really wines. The only wine from Burgundy and for Bordeaux actually counted because that's how the world saw wine. That's how the world saw California at that at that time. They knew French wines would sweep the competition.

Everyone in the room knew it. Everyone except a group of of, vintners from here in California. In my own district, the the Heights winery, Clos Duval, Maya Commis, Freemarc Abbey, Ridge, and two others, which I'll note in a moment, went to Paris, showed their wines, everyone drank them blinded. When the scores were tallied, the Napa Napa Valley had done the unthinkable. The winning wines were a a Chardonnay from Chateau Montelena and a Cabernet Sauvignon from Stagg's Leap.

California Chardonnay came to play, and California Cabernet Sauvignon is second to none. Overnight, overnight, California was catapulted to world class status as a home of wine. It's the moment that California's wine industry was put on the on the map. That California that Chateau Montalena retailed for about $6.50 a bottle at the time, a small cost of its French rivals. And, whereas their winemaking counterparts in France had been operating for three centuries and charging far more.

But when it came time for the drinking, Napa Valley spoke the loudest. The Stagsley, Cabernet Estate, Cabernet Estate earned the highest red wine score. And when the retest was done years later, resolution before you today is more than a celebration of wine. It is a celebration of place. California, the Napa Valley, the winemakers, the grape growers, the farm workers, the tourism industry, and the audacious belief of Californians that excellence knows no borders.

The judgment of Paris didn't just change how the world saw California wine, it established that the map of great wine was far larger than anyone in that Paris ballroom thought was possible. And now it isn't just about Napa. It is because of those Napa vintners that Santa Barbara, Temecula, Sonoma, Yolo County, the Central Coast, great wines are are from California, and frankly from all over the world that is not in Europe, are finally getting their due.

Since the judgment of of of of Paris, the California wine industry has become one of California's signature industries. This story, a lot, has been told by Hollywood.

You may have seen the movie Bottle Shock, starring Alan Rickman and Chris and Chris Pine. Our own governor started an an estate winery himself next door to Chateau Montelena where he, launched Odette wines, and he will tell you the reason they're named Odette is Odette was the name of one of the French judges who insisted afterwards that something must have been wrong and she wanted to see the ballots maybe storm the capital.

She was so upset that that that France, although had performed well, California was right in the at the highest at the highest levels. And so Odette is an homage to that day as well. Today, the wine industry employs over 400,000 Californians, generates $73,000,000,000 in economic activity for the state, pays, dollars 26,000,000,000 in taxes annually, wages, and $7,900,000,000 in federal, state, and local taxes.

It is the basis for our entertainment industry, for tourism, and for that unique California brand. We'll surprise we surprised the world fifty years ago. We're gonna keep doing it again and again. And on behalf of the wine growers, winemakers, farm workers, and wine lovers of the Napa Valley and all of California, I urge an aye vote on SR 115. Thank you, mister president.

Thank you, Senator. And California loves its wine. And with that, members, this this resolution is eligible for unanimous roll call without objection. Seeing no objection, ayes 33, noes zero. The resolution is adopted.

Returning back to privileges of the floor, Senator Cabaldon, you are recognized for guests that you have with us today.

Thank you, mister president. Today on the floor, we are joined by representatives of two of the wineries that were tasted and that prevailed at the judgment of Paris. We have John McGovern from Chateau Montalena winery, the winning the winning Chardonnay. Glenn Salva with Antinori California, the owners of Stags Leap wine cellars. We're also joined on the floor by Michelle Novy from the Napa Valley Vintners and other distinguished guests from in the gallery from the Wine Institute, wine grape growers, and family white winemakers as well.

So please join me in welcoming, the pioneers who launched California's wine wine industry globally and changed the world.

Returning to Senate third reading, file item 157, SB 1341. Secretary, please read.

Senate bill 1341 by Senator Cabaldon, enact related to beverage containers.

Senator Cabaldon, you are recognized.

Thank you, mister president. SB 1341 gives CalRecycle the authority to reduce processing fees for wine and spirits in bag in a box containers when the fee collections are are way, way, way higher than the amount needed for recycling payments. The containers were added to the recycling program just, two years ago. And in December of last year, CalRecycle announced a nearly 5000% increase in the processing fee for bag in a box containers.

That obviously presents major challenges both for the industry but also for consumers and their affordability.

We also recognize one of the reasons for that is the need to improve the amount of recycling that is actually occurring in this sector and in this industry. We have been working closely with the committee, with the industry and with CalRecycle on it. I'm gonna urge an aye vote.

Thank you, Senator. Seeing no mics raised for further discussion or debate, members, this item is also eligible for unanimous roll call without objection. Seeing and hearing no objection, eyes 33, no's zero. The measure passes. Moving on to item 62, SB 1083.

Secretary, please read.

Senate Bill 1083 by Senator Pérez, an act relating to school employees.

Senator Pérez, you are recognized when you are ready.

Good morning, Mr. President. SB 1083 builds on the Safe Learning Environments Act, SB 848, which was enacted into law last year and established a statewide data system to track egregious misconduct by school employees.

That law was an important step forward in improving transparency, strengthening accountability, and helping ensure that individuals with serious allegations cannot quietly move between school sites without scrutiny.

But as implementation has moved forward, additional refinements are needed to ensure the system operates with consistency, fairness, and fully protects students. First, classified employees do not currently have a clearly defined impartial review process comparable to what is provided to certificated employees.

Existing law ensures that teachers receive due process, including a hearing and the ability to an administrative law judge through the Office of Administrative Hearings. Without equivalent due process protections, investigations against them involving egregious misconduct can result in professional and personal consequences. SB 1083 addresses this by requiring an ALJ to determine whether a classified employee should be added to the statewide data system.

The bill also requires the statewide system to immediately notify a current employer when an employee leaves a local education agency or private school during an investigation. This notice would inform the employer that a preliminary report has been filed and an investigation is pending to ensure that future employers are aware of any unresolved concerns. I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Is there a question or debate? Seeing none. Secretary, please... This measure is eligible for a unanimous roll call. Does any member object to the application of the unanimous roll call to this item? Seeing none, that would be the order. Ayes 33, noes zero, and the measure passes. Next, we'll proceed to item file item 70 by Senator Caballero, SB 1153. Secretary, please read.

Senate bill 1153 by Senator Caballero, and ... relating to disaster preparedness.

Thank you, mister president. I rise to present SB 1153, which bolsters the wildfire preparedness of urban retail water suppliers and protects water affordability for California rate payers. This bill makes findings and declarations regarding the role and limitations of public water systems in responding to wildfire.

It requires urban retail water suppliers in high risk wildfire zones to include wildfire specific response procedures in their emergency response plans, establishes the water supply or pressure limitations during a wildfire are not a substantial cause of wildfire damages, and that wildfire spread is not an inherent risk of water system design. And finally, the bill clarifies that it does not reduce or remove liability for injuries or damages caused by the negligence of a water of a public water system while performing its intended functions.

We have worked diligently with stakeholders, members, and their staff and amended the bill to include new provisions that have been requested. The bill enjoys a large coalition of supporters and no known opposition. It has received bipartisan support and no no votes. The bottom line is California must acknowledge the limited role of our public water systems, support their efforts to adapt to climate change, and prepare for state long term investments in disaster response. I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Senator Choi.

Thank you, mister President and the members. I rise in strong support of SB 1153. As California continues to face devastating wildfires, we must ensure our water systems are prepared to emergencies while also recognizing the realities of how these systems are designed to operate. This bill strengthens wildlife preparedness planning for water supply suppliers in high risk area and improves coordination with the emergency responders. I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Seeing no further senators wishing to be recognized, Senator Caballero, you may close.

Thank you very much, mister president. And I thank my colleague for his his support and his words, and I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Members, this item is also eligible for the application of our unanimous roll call. Does any member object to doing so? Seeing none, ayes 33, noes 0. The measure passes. Members, without objection, we'll be we'll be permitting, the use of displays on the floor at the request of Senator Menjivar on behalf of the Veterans Caucus.

Next, we'll proceed to item 76, SB 1199 by Senator doctor Weber Pierson. Secretary, please read.

Senate bill 1199 by Senator Weber Pierson, inequity to health care coverage.

Senator Weber Pierson.

Thank you, mister president colleagues. I rise to present Senate Bill 1199, a common sense patient protection measure that fixes an accounting issue in our insurance system when a patient pays cost sharing for their medication or when someone helps them pay it, that amount should count towards their deductible and their maximum out of pocket limit, referred to as MOOP. Federal law already requires all cost sharing to count towards the MOOP, whether the payment comes from the patient or from someone assisting them.

California has its own rules about when a manufacturer coupons can be used under current law. Coupons are generally banned unless a lower cost generic is available on a cheaper tier or unless there is an over the counter option.

I wanna be clear, SB 1199 does not change any of those rules. It does not expand the use of coupons, and it does not weaken our generic first policies. What it does is it brings California's accounting practices in line with the federal requirements so that when cost sharing assistance is legally allowed, it is counted correctly.

By aligning state and federal rules, SB 1199 encourages insurers and PBMs to place more lower cost generics on their formularies that helps steer patients towards affordable medications and reduces unnecessary use of higher cost brand name drugs. At the same time, SB 1199 ensures that when patients rely on assistance, which many must do to afford life saving or life maintaining prescriptions, those payments actually count towards our out of pocket limit.

When they do not, patients get hit with surprise bills. Those unexpected costs lead to people to skip doses or stop taking their medications, which harms the health and ultimately cost our health health care system more. SB 1199 ensures patients receive full protection of insurance coverage when they pay for it while still respecting California's limits on when coupons can be used. It also gives state regulators the clarity they need to enforce both state and federal law.

More than 26 states along with the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico have already adopted similar protections.

SB 1199 simply codifies what is already good federal law. For these reasons, I respectfully ask for your aye vote on SB 1199.

There being no members of the Senate wishing to be recognized, secretary, please call the roll.

Mr. President and distinguished Members, I rise today to present SB 1240, which would establish the Office of Nonprofit Empowerment, also known as ONE, the Office of Nonprofit Empowerment. Nonprofits are the third largest employers by wages among the key industries in California.

One in every 14 California jobs is at a nonprofit. However, they face many hurdles in navigating California state government. Procurement and grant making processes are complex. Payments for services are often delayed. The nonprofit nonpartisan Little Hoover Commission published a report this year examining these challenges.

The report made several recommendations, including creating a nonprofit liaison such as the office that SB 1240 would establish. The nonprofit sector is a valuable partner to government in providing community focused solutions. I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Senator Bill 1337 by Senator Richardson in Equity relating to Energy.

Thank you, mister president. Over the last thirty years, California's pioneering climate and air quality policies have been critical to protecting our community's health. Policies like the introduction of the cleanest gasoline in the world in 1996 have led to countless air quality, health, and life improvements.

While California's climate and air quality policies have accelerated the adoption of highly fuel efficient conventional vehicles and zero emissions vehicles, which are critical to protecting our communities and health, we still have the burden of how do we maintain a sufficient fuel supply, as these transitions progress. Successfully managing the clean energy transition and continuing the state's long standing leadership in addressing climate, air quality, health, and environmental issues are required for us to have a coordinated action and a strategic alignment of state, regional, and local jurisdictions.

SB 1337 will help to provide a framework by creating a working group established by the State Energy Resources, Conservation, and Development Commission to do the following. And by the way, this working group did exist last year as we worked on other important energy policies. One, they would develop priority policies and programs. Two, they would strengthen coordination and establish clear lines of communication.

And three, they would propose opportunities for partnerships between the governor's office, state agencies, boards, commissions, offices, independent consumer fuel advisory committee, and other entities as necessary.

And the legislature to advance solutions strategically aligned to help with regulations permitting processes across all levels of government. I respectfully ask for your aye vote on SB 1337.

Ayes 31, noes 0. The measure passes. And members, the house is making very efficient progress this morning. Appreciate everyone remaining at their desks and in the chambers. We haven't had to either police any measures on call or take more than one round of the roll call, and that is helping immensely in completing our business in a timely way.

So next, we'll proceed to file item 88. Senator Cervantes. Secretary, please read.

Senate Bill 1360 by Senator Cervantes, an act relating to elections.

Senator Cervantes.

Thank you, Mr. President. SB 1360 is part of the Civil Rights Act of 2026. The bill will improve language access to lawfully register voters who self identify as limited English proficient by increasing the availability of translated election material.

A pillar of California's strength is the vibrant diversity of its population. The Golden State has the highest percentage of households, 43.3%, that are proficient in a language other than English. This translates to 3.2 million eligible California voters.

A Berkeley IGS poll stated that 70% of California voters support providing language access to voters with limited English proficiency. The health of our democracy depends on ensuring that lawfully registered voters can exercise that right to vote regardless of whether they are proficient in English.

SB 1360 would ensure that California continues to enjoy the language access assistance provided by Section 203 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 by codifying those provisions from federal law into state law. The bill will also expand on Section 203 by expanding the potential languages covered by state law.

The languages covered by 1360 would be based on the language determination made by the Secretary of State every five years. Senate Bill 1360 will bring us close to fulfilling a dream of an inclusive democracy in California that makes voting accessible even if a voter is not proficient in English. I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Senate bill 920 by Senator Archuleta and ... to gaming.

Senator Archuleta.

Thank you, mister president.

I rise today to present Senate bill 920, a good governance bill based on 2018 audit report of the gambling and gaming control fund. Senate bill 920 would require gaming commission upon the adoption of adjustments of a fee that is deposited into the gambling control fund to maintain a regulation that states the authorized purpose of the use of that fee the provision of this the important step towards ensuring that all fees collected under the gaming control act are clearly tied to their specified and specific regulatory purposes, and the stakeholders can readily understand how fee revenues are used to support the oversight responsibilities of the California Gaming Control Commission and the Department of Justice.

Senate bill 920 enhances transparency, accountability, and fiscal integrity in the implementation of regulatory fees under California's Gaming Control Act. Senate Bill 920 advances good governance practice that promote greater transparency and fee adoption, and expenditure and protection and the integrity of the regulatory funding mechanism. This bill has no opposition, and I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Senate Bill 1016 by Senator Blakespear and ... to mental health.

Senator Blakespear.

Thank you, Mr. President and colleagues. I rise today to present SB 1016, which bridges an unintentional gap in the CARE Court system that leaves those with the most serious mental illness untreated. SB 1016 allows a petitioner to request that the court consider a higher level mental health evaluation if individuals don't qualify for CARE Court due to the severity of their conditions. SB 1016 does not create a new program or expand CARE Court.

Rather, it ensures that when CARE Court can't take someone, the system does not stop there. Recent amendments have clarified that a rejection from CARE Court is not required for evaluation, thereby easing the burden on CARE Court. SB 1016 strengthens mental health care in California by ensuring that CARE Court is part of a true continuum of care and not a dead end. I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Senate bill 1198 by Senator Menjivar, ... to vehicles.

Senator Menjivar.

Thank you, mister president. California and colleagues, California continues to see tens of thousands of, fatal and serious injury collisions across our state. And one of the primary contributing factors to that are individuals who are recklessly driving. While our current laws aim to deter this behavior, there are certain gaps that we need to, close and enhance.

So which is why SB 1198 is looking to increase license suspension and impoundment periods for repeat reckless driving and is limiting the amount of times an owner can claim unawareness that their vehicle was used in said reckless driving.

Respectfully asking for an aye vote.

Senate bill 1213 by Senator Reyes, and that relate to greenhouse gases.

Senator Reyes.

Thank you, mister president. Members, I rise to present SB 1213, a bill that will ensure California maintains its national leadership in the deployment of clean, medium, and heavy duty vehicles. Programs such as the California Clean Vehicle and Bus Voucher Incentive Project, also known as HVIP, are fundamentally transforming the vehicles that we use in the medium and heavy duty sector. However, as we provide funding for this sector, it is also critical to ensure meaningful price transparency in this vehicle market.

Unlike the passenger vehicle market, medium and heavy duty vehicle trucks lack publicly available pricing information, including MSRP. This makes it difficult to assess if the cost gap between zero emission and diesel is truly closing, and it limits our ability to understand the impact that subsidies are having on prices long term. SB 1213 addresses this by requiring CARB to collect and publicly report MSRP, final sale price, and component prices for all medium and heavy duty vehicles receiving public subsidies in California.

This bill has received bipartisan support and I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

There being no senators wishing to be recognized on this item, members this is eligible for our unanimous roll call. Is there any objection to the application of the unanimous roll call to this file item? Seeing none, ayes 32, noes 0. The measure passes. Next we will proceed to file item 135.

Senator Richardson? Secretary, please read.

Senate bill 1265 by Senator Richardson in ... to Energy.

Thank you, mister president. The California alternative energy and advanced transportation financing authority, also known as the go green program, partners with public and private entities to provide financing that helps California industries reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Currently, according to the treasurer's office, Go Green is an oversubscribed program due to the immense popularity and the support the service provides. Go Green supports the development of renewable energy, energy efficiency, and advanced transportation and manufacturing technologies, while also reducing air pollution, consumer energy, and creating jobs.

Funding for the go green program comes from investor owned utility rate payers to provide financing and partnerships within the IOU service areas.

Over the last fifteen years, the go green program carried out through the treasurer's office has been expanded rapidly to become a one stop entry point for Californians seeking financing for clean air energy projects. However, despite the immense success the program has achieved, it is not protected in statue to continue past the current treasurer's tenure.

ThiS Bill has received broad bipartisan support, and I respectfully ask that you would join me in codifying through SB 1265, this program, into law to allow future state treasurers to use and expand this program. With that, I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Senator Jones.

Thank you, mister president and members. As the movie says, an ordinary person spends his life avoiding tense situations. A repo man spends his life getting into into tense situations. Colleagues, I rise to present SB 1338, which addresses dangerous interference with the transport of a vehicle after a lawful repossession is already complete. This bill does not expand repossession authority, alter the breach of peace doctrine, or change the point at which repossession must cease.

I ask your aye vote on thirteen thirty eight.

But this is the final bill under regular Senate third reading. File item one sixty one. Senator Blakespear is prepared. Secretary, please read.

Senate Bill 1135 by Senator Blakespear, an act relating to wildlife.

Senator Blakespear.

Thank you, Mr. President and colleagues. I will be brief. I'm here today to present SB 1135, which would reestablish and strengthen the Statewide Wildlife Coexistence Program within the Department of Fish and Wildlife. This program will focus on managing and reducing human wildlife conflict through proactive nonlethal strategies.

As wildlife migrates throughout our communities, they can damage property, threaten livestock, and create safety concerns for residents. In agricultural areas, wolves and other wildlife cause significant economic losses for ranchers and farmers. SB 1135 gives communities the tools they need to prevent conflict and respond when it occurs. I respectfully ask for your aye vote.
