Good afternoon, everyone. The hearing of the committee on agriculture is called to order. We do not have a quorum yet, but we're gonna operate as a subcommittee. But as you guys all know, I like to share a fun fact as we kick off the the committee hearing today. And so I didn't know if you guys know, but the month of March is National Agricultural Month, just for the record.

But also in this month, we celebrate or March is also the National Celery Month. I hope you guys like celery. And the state of California actually leads the nation in celery production by growing roughly 1,400,000,000. Yeah. You guys heard a billion pounds of celery every single year.

Ventura and Monterey Counties produce over 80% of California's salary production, making the Central Coast vital for California's salary economy. So that's, I think, another fun fact just connected to salary. Wanted to give you guys a little bit of background, but on one night in the nineteen sixties at Chicago's Ambassador East host hotel, a man grew increasingly frustrated and impatient that his savory vodka cocktail was missing a swizzle stick. Tired of waiting, the man grabbed a nearby celery stalk from a relish tray to sear his drink. Other patrons at that bar witnessed the incident, word-of-mouth started, and the rest is history for the what do you Bloody Mary.

Again, thank you for indulging me in my fun fact. So before we begin the hearing, I also wanna cover a few logistics. As we proceed with the witnesses and public comment, I want to make sure everyone understands that the assembly has rules to ensure we maintain order and run an efficient and fair hearing. We apply these rules consistently to all people who participate in our proceedings regardless of the viewpoint they express. In order to facilitate the goal of of hearing as much from the public within the limits of our time, we're not we will not permit conduct that disrupts, disturbs, or otherwise impedes the orderly conduct of legislative proceedings.

For all those who will be providing comments today, we ask that you please state your full name and the organization you represent and if you support or oppose the bill being considered. Any member of the public also may also submit written comments to our committee through email. Emails may be sent to the address found on the committee website, which is agri.committee@assembly.ca.gov. We have 11 bills on the file today. Five of those bills are proposed for consent.

Was it five or two? Oh, alright. Yeah. Five five bills are proposed for consent. We will hear bill presentations in file order today.

And if the author of the next bill on the file is not in the room, we will immediately move to the next bill on the file. Still right? And since we we still do not have a quorum, we will open the hearing, as I mentioned, as a subcommittee to allow bill presentations to happen. If we don't have a quorum by the end of the presentation of the bill, the bill will be placed on call until we do. So we have, assembly member Lackey.

Right? So assembly member Lackey well, actually, we have assembly member Arons, which is the number one, the file order, AB1674, assembly member Arons.
