The Senate Committee on Appropriations will now come to order. Sergeants, please contact any absent members. We have 30 measures on the agenda today, all of which are candidates for the suspense file. The authors for all of these bills have waived presentation. As usual, we will be taking testimony from the public on every item. AB 1844 Pacheco and AB 442 Hadwick, which are still listed in the daily file, have been removed from the agenda and will be rescheduled for a subsequent hearing. The Department of Finance has notified us that they will not have comments on any of the bills before the committee this morning. Before we begin, I do want to remind 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 hearing testimony on any measures, let's establish a quorum. Madam Assistant, please call the roll.
