You know what's here?  The senate committee on appropriations will now come to order.  Sergeants, please contact any absent members.  Have them come down to the hearing room so that we could start with the quorum.  We have 122 measures on today's agenda, all of which meet the criteria for referral to the suspense file. 

We have one suspense item that will have an author presentation.  The authors for the remaining suspense bills have waived presentation.  As usual, we will be taking testimony from the public on every item.  There are four items still listed in the daily file that will not be heard today.  SB eleven fifty five and SB thirteen sixteen by Smallwood Cuevas, s b 1,300 by senator Stern, and s b fourteen twenty five, senator Cortese, were all rescheduled for the hearing next week. 

The Department of Finance has notified us that they will not be joining us today since they do not have comments on any of the bills before the committee this morning.  Before we begin, I wanna remind any witnesses to limit their testimony to the fiscal aspect of the bill.  Please refrain from lengthy policy discussions and repeating prior testimony in your comments.  Before we begin today's hearing on the measures, let's establish a quorum.  Madam assistant, please call the roll.

Good morning, Chair Cervantes and members of the committee. I'm Adan Ortega. I'm with the California Association of Mutual Water Companies, here to respectfully oppose SB twelve ninety one unless it's amended. The author has agreed to work with us on amendments, though those amendments are not reflected in the bill. The bill creates significant and ongoing cost pressures for small nonprofit mutual water companies and the communities they serve around the state.

The true fiscal impact is far greater than what is currently reflected in the analysis. Additionally, the bill requires mutual water company only assessment by the state water board duplicating many costs. This increases state cost pressures and workloads that already exist through existing programs, the SAFR program, that are structured to identify and prioritize the needs of all water system types. The state's challenge is not identifying problems, it's delivering resources efficiently. There's an ongoing consolidation study, for example, in the Authors District that this would duplicate the cost for.

And also, we believe that the identified $2,500,000 cost of implementing this bill is far less, given that it would apply to 1,000 mutual water companies around the state. For this reason, we respectfully urge the committee to hold SB twelve ninety one on suspense unless it's amended. Thank you very much.

Morning, Chair and Committee. My name is David Armstrong. I'm General Manager of South Mesa Water Company. I serve both Riverside and San Bernardino County. I also serve as vice president of Cal Mutuals.

SB, one two nine one opposes new website posting and teleconferencing requirements on water systems, including those operating in broadband deserts. Areas without reliable Internet access affecting 30,000 or 30% of California's committees or communities. I visited such a community in San Bernardino County just last week. The state has already identified 6,000,000,000 in needed broadband investment, yet only $1,600,000,000 is proposed for appropriation this year. The cost of accelerating that infrastructure to make this bill implementable must be included in the committee's fiscal analysis.

Thank you.

37:03 - 38:06

Redner 12

Good morning, committee and chair. My name is Sandy McElhinney, and I serve as president of Christian Mutual Water Company and as, director on the board of Cal Mutuals. I've driven here five hours from Lebec and Kern County to be here today because that's what it takes to participate in our state's governance. I hope that it'll make a difference for us and for other small communities across the Tehachapi Mountains. SB twelve ninety one creates a hard compliance cliff at 50 service connections, disproportionately affecting the smallest and most resource limited systems with unfunded mandates.

How does the committee analysis account for this? This bill would require us to post information online and hold meetings virtually in areas where Internet access is unreliable, if not nonexistent. The fiscal analysis does not account for the legislature to understand that we are not for profit entities and in mostly disadvantaged neighborhoods. So, therefore, we vehemently disapprove.

Excuse me. Good morning. My name is Joe Bartlett. I'm representing Hearing Health Care Providers of California as their legislative director. I'm a hearing aid dispenser for twenty four years, a board certified hearing instrument specialist for nineteen years, and an audio prosthologist for the last thirteen years.

I also represent International Hearing Society, which we are a chapter of. We are in support of this bill, but there has been amendments to the that we've given to the author, more technical in its in nature. The FDA redefined a hearing aid in 2022, so we feel like that should be something that is in the California law as well because there's now prescriptive hearing aids and over the counter hearing aids, if you may be aware. Also, International Hearing Society is accepted as an education provider for 37 different states. We would like them also to be added into.

But these are all amendments we've given to the author, so we do support, but we are watching for amendments, and we're happy to talk. Thank you.

Thank you, madam chair and members. I'm here to present on behalf of SB ten eighty nine. The rising prevalence of chronic weight disease represents a substantial burden, financial burden, of care for CalPERS and in medical costs and reduced labor. This includes increased rates of obesity, diabetes, and related disease costs. SB ten eighty nine will help cut costs to CalPERS by reducing the vulnerability to cancers and comorbidities related to obesity such as diabetes by ensuring that state public employees who are at a thirty BMI or higher have access to weight loss drugs including GLP-1s.

SB ten eighty nine will also reduce costs by requiring CalRx to enter into partnerships, resulting in the production or acquisition of at least one GLP-one medication. This would result in more people becoming healthier and reducing overall health costs. I would like to also share that I am looking forward to working with the industry and the committee to further some amendments that will be coming forward, which was my purpose of speaking today. Thank you very much.
