00:00We'll now move on to additional witnesses and they come up to the mic. Madam chair, I make a motion to amend
00:09And then what
00:12Amend ACA and I would like that the sergeants pass these amendments out so that way everybody could read them
00:20Give me one second, please
00:30Thank you
01:00Are the amendments in ledge council form? Okay
01:30That to reanalyze the bill constitutional amendment or resolution just give me a second so we can answer your question here
02:00So these are not author's amendment so the rule you cited is not relevant as a member does not say the author
02:14But they are not author's amendments once again, it's
02:30You
02:40The committee rules are clear that this is really two authors amendments only these are not being offered by the author of the ACA
02:48This is not clear
02:58The author is Rivas and McGuire in section 2
03:03That we authored this actually prepared this ACA. Okay. Give me one moment to thoroughly answer your question
03:18You
03:35My ruling is the amendments are not in order. There is a motion on the table
03:39And your motion is not in order as well. Madam chair, I read I asked to read the amendments into the journal
03:54Second
03:56I
03:57Reject that no on what ground madam chair my decision. So there's transparency and bipartisanship

05:57correct I just want to clear
05:58so I'm good
05:59Madam Chair we just
06:01I don't think they will

06:05we haven't even heard all the testimony
06:07so let's try to get through this hearing on the bill
06:10all right

06:13we have a motion to lay the amendments on the table
06:16Madam Secretary please call the roll
06:19Madam Chair we made the statement

06:27and I just
06:28we're going to proceed with that motion
06:30wait a second
06:31the whole thing is that this is about transparency
06:33and that you want fairness in this
06:35we got the language at 8 o'clock
06:37all we're asking is for our input to be taken
06:41you didn't talk to me as your vice chair about this
06:43so here's our opportunity
06:44Madam Chair
06:45all we're asking for is participation in this
06:48and Mr. Tongipa came prepared
06:49the rules state this
06:51that I would be happy to bring the chief clerk in to review this
06:53I don't know why you're shutting this down
06:55and Madam Chair I would have presented this to you
06:57sometime sooner at any other time
06:59I had no time
07:00we didn't receive this
07:02and yet there are authors on this
07:03before I even got to see this
07:05I didn't get this till last night
07:07because we were not informed
07:09so my question is
07:11since everybody's prepared
07:12since you're so fine with the ACA
07:14is how much time did they get to prepare
07:17before I did
07:17why am I not deserve that same
07:20for the 500,000 representatives
07:22that I get to represent in my district
07:24why am I not granted that same right
07:26to defend them
07:27I believe we have a law in California
07:29that members get 72 hours
07:31before final vote on any legislation
07:33to review the legislation
07:37and the language of the legislation
07:38before they vote
07:39on that language
07:39as the final version
07:41I saw this language yesterday
