the clerk: amendment amendment offered by mr. yoho of fl. strike 85% of the counties that were none attainment areas under the standard as of july 2 2014, achieve full compliance with that standard. the chair: pursuant to house resolution 333, the gentleman from florida, and a member opposed each will control five minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from florida, mr. yoho. mr. yoho: i would like to thank chairman calvert. my amendment prevents any funds to change ozone regulations regardless of whether the counties meet 2008 standards. as of 2012 and based on the 2008 ozone standards are designated by the e.p.a. 24 mainland states were in attainment including my state. some had marginal attainment. what i find most interesting is the areas of our nation that have been designated as nonattainment by the e.p.a. this includes most of california, parts of texas and mid-atlantic states. these counties have had two years to change their policies and abide by the ozone standards and under the new proposed standards some of the country would

colleagues can we take this amendment without objection? >> without objection the amendment passes. on the under lying items colleagues can we take the item same house and call? without objection the item passes on the first reading unanimously. madam clerk the next item please >> item 18 is ordinance to appropriate 4 million from 2015 [inaudible] provide short term working capital for the start up of community choice program >> shame house, same call. without objection the ordinance passes >> item 19 ordinance to amends the ordinance and [inaudible] vehicle selection elements of healthy care and claen transporpation program from department of the environment to city administrator nob policy to opmize the size and use thf cities vehicle fleet >> supervisor farrell >> thank you president breed. colleagues in frunlt of us is legislation and authored to improve the way we manage our municipal vehicles. i want to thank supervisor mar and avalos [inaudible] since introduction the office work would the department of environment and city [inaudible] to provide a comprehensive policy that g

amendment on your desk and let me read the amendment as a whole. rather than establishing police staffing levels we are establishing a multidisciplineary process for determining police staffing levels and then in the language of the resolution it says rez dugz establishing board of supervisor policy that police staffing levels will be adjusted through a multidisciplineitary process involving departments and stake holder and redue voou public policy best practice for evaluating police staffing levels. then i have other where as clauses i added to the resolution on page 2, top of page 2 line 1, the stucystics from the cam department of justice show between 194 and 2013 despite increase in population the overall number of crimes in san francisco have decreased with diviolent crime decreases by 34.8 percent homicide [inaudible] robberies decreases by 36.6 and property crime decrease by 5.3 percent and down to line 15 on the same page, where as the per report states the tagt for patrol staffing should be balanced [inaudible] next line 16 is another line

the 13th amendment involved slavery. there was going to be, in lincoln's words, a new birth of freedom, but according to the conventional story of reconstruction, reconstruction was dead by 1877. the weapon was something called state action doctrine. state action doctrine holds that the rights guaranteed by the 14th and 15th amendments are protected against the government only. we get this from the text of the amendments. as you can see in your hand out -- i'm a dinosaur i used handouts. i have given you a snippet of section one. those states shall deny to any person the equal protection of the law. we need a distinction between state action and private action to get the amendments off the ground, to make it usable. we see a state private distinction in the quotes for state action doctrine. the first section in the 14th amendment is prohibitory upon the state. it is state action that is prohibited, individual invasion of individual rights is not the subject matter of the amendment. we cannot have a code of minnesota law

the 15th amendment takes it a little bit further. we may get into the 15th amendment. i come at this personally because in 1962i was a civil rights worker with the student -- student nonviolent coordinating committee. i grew up in mississippi as one of about 200 full-time organizers. i met a man who was a descendent you told me a great story about his grandfather being a soldier in the civil war, fought for his freedom and came home and had a cumulative a couple hundred acres of land. it was a great story except for the fact that it did not sound true given the fact the black people could not vote when i got there and had no voting rights. you might say we won the rights lost them and had to win them all over again. by contact with that man got me started. today, welcome to washington d.c. the thousands of people who will celebrate. i have a group of panelists here today who are going to talk about this, the know more about this because they have written and studied. the first speaker is richard kreitner, special assistant to "the nation" magazine. they have an article

let's call a roll call vote on this. >> on amendments to amendment number 3 on that motion supervisor wiener no supervisor kim supervisor cowen that motion passes. >> the that motion passes. >> i'm sorry was that on the - that was on the both versions because that didn't have to go back to the planning commission. >> my understanding on the original version with amendment number one and now political amendment 3 to that one. >> ms. burden you answer supervisor wiener and that's correct they had that hearing multiple times. >> all right. mr. clerk can you please call item no. 7 please. actually we have to act on the other line item >> say that again. >> we have to act on that item to the deputy city attorney do those two amendments require a continuance to the land use commission. >> yes. regarding the ellis act they require another hearing. >> so i make a motion to continue items five and six one week. >> all right. mansion made without objection. >> i'm sorry the 5 and 6 for the unduplicate version and motion to table for one week. >> continue. >> continue items five and six that mot

so i will not be supporting the amendment today. i do know that supervisor avalos has a number of amendments that came as recommendations from the planning commission. on the second set of amendments that supervisor christensen has introduced, i will be supporting those. i think it makes sense to close the loophole on that affordable housing program that is part of our c3 program, which allows greater density, in exchange for moderate-income units being part of the inclusionary program. i think it makes sense to close the loophole and ensure those units remain permanently affordable. so i'm glad that supervisor christensen's office is examining that as including that in our legislationing. so i know that is not part of group housing, but they are both part of our inclusionary affordable housing program and so we'll be supporting those two sets of amendments. >> guest no. 4. >> thank you, that is me. guest no. 4, supervisor avalos. my office was reaching out to supervisor wiener, your office, to hear about any concerns that you might

farrell had amendments to his legislation so i want to stack his amendment first supervisor farrell. >> thank you supervisor president london breed and colleagues they were distributeed i want to make a motion to. >> supervisor farrell made another motion to amend item 7 with a proposed suggestions from the planning department that were circulated to the members of the board and seconded by supervisor wiener colleagues we'll take that without objection. we'll take that without objection. those amendments pass and supervisor yee has made a motion to amend item no. 7 - was there a - >> did you circulate any amendments supervisor yee. >> yes. it was circulated. >> okay. so is there a second for supervisor yee's meantime. >> seconded by supervisor mar supervisor farrell. >> sorry wherever it is appropriate to speak on the amendment i'd like to although my name is third on the roster. >> i too want to. >> before we take supervisor yee's amendment i need to call on supervisor mar at this point. >> thank you supervisor president london breed i'm supportive of supervisor yee's amendment i wa

johnson: to offer an amendment -- i have an amendment at the desk. the chair: the clerk will designate the amendment. the clerk: amendment number 4 printed in part b of house report 114-230 offered by mr. johnson of georgia. the chair: pursuant to house resolution 380, the gentleman from georgia, mr. johnson, and a member opposed, each will control five minutes. the chair now recognizes the gentleman from georgia. mr. johnson: thank you mr. speaker. my amendment would accept from h.r. 427 all rules that the office of management and budget determines would result in net job creation. as with many other deregulatory bills we have considered this congress, the proponents of h.r. 427 argue that it will grow the economy, create jobs and increase america's competitiveness internationally. but we cannot pretend that this politicized legislation is about economic growth or american prosperity. as i have noted during the consideration of each of the anti-regulatory bills that we have considered in the 114th congress there is simply no credible evidence in sup

my amendment is simple. it merely prohibits the department of interior for peard of one year from considering -- for a period of one year from considering any rules or any action to treat the northern long eared bat as endangered which is the most restrictive form of listing. the intention is to ensure reasonable land use within the bat's range wlile fish and wildlife continues to research -- range while fish and wildlife continues to research a cure for the syndrome. i urge my colleagues to vote yes on the amendment and i reserve the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. for what purpose does the gentlelady from minnesota seek recognition? ms. mccollum: thank you, mr. chairman. i claim the time in opposition to this amendment. the chair: the gentlelady is recognized. ms. mccollum: this amendment would prohibit fish and wildlife service from treating the northern long eared bat battalion as endangered under the endangered species act. fish and wildlife service listed

so that amendment will stand. the second amendment that i introduced was a prohibition of short-term rentals in accessory dwelling units. that was brought forward back to committee. but now is being -- that the city attorney advised us now it should go back to the planning commission. if it moves beyond district 3 and 8, but impacts the whole seismic program. what i had recommended to the city attorney over the weekend is that we limit the restriction to district 3 and 8. and that we send back to planning commission a prohibition of short-term rentals on the seismic program for them to consider and for us to get feedback on. so i just want to clarify with supervisor cohen what piece of that we're moving forward with now? both back to planning commission, and to the full board tomorrow? so on the short-term -- it's a lot. on the short-term rental prohibition, what i had asked the city attorney to draft is that we limit the amendment to just districts 3 and 8, and move that forward to the full board tomorrow. and th

there's actually responsibility placed on the hosting platforms and what is remarkable will the amendment that is essentially shifts away the responsibility from the hosting platforms to the hosts i hope the hosts as a community understand the significance of what is being done here this amendment is placing on you as hosts a responsibility that airbnb has been unwilling to take upon itself it is saying we're not going to make airbnb responsible but we're going to make you as individual hosts responsible if you look at the hotel industry that would be like local government saying the individual hoot has no rocket in terms of the hotel tax it is the individual who stays at the owe ho hotel that has that responsibility how r remarkable is that that you walk away from placing responsibility on the corporate players that not only have the resources to actually carry out this responsibility but corporate players that are making a lot of money you're talking about turning your back on the hosting community to protect a $23 billion corporation and saying you individual hosts have to do what airb

the houses refuses to table amendment 56. the question before us is adoption of amendment 56.iss tinkler is asked to speak an amendment 56. mr. hart what purpose do you rise? >> mitchell. >> thank you mr. speaker i rise for point of order on this particular amendment. i want to direction your attention to s 895 which is concurrent resolution. specifically, it talks about legislation concerning the south carolina infant tri battle flag of the confederate states of america surrounding arrangement located at the confederate soldier monument on this grounds of the state capitol complex. this particular amendment talks about the confederate relic room and military museum. it is not germane to the resolution. >> mr. quinn you wish to be heard in this matter? >> yes, mr. speaker. the resolution very specifically says we will consider two items one the south carolina infantry battle flag for the united states of america and meaning not or, and, surrounding arrange arrangement located at the confederate soldiers monument. this amendment merely deals with how we will handle the confeder

not the san francisco that the people of this city deserve so i will be proudly going against the amendment (clapping.) >> supervisor wiener. >> supervisor christensen. >> thank you madam president ii ran a small business for thirty years and the probability all kinds of reporting i don't know if supervisor campos has talked with the home sharers and those are not afraid of reporting or running a small business and as a matter of fact that many of them prefer it it gives them control of the information rather than doling out to platforms i want to make sure that nothing preincludes a platform from reporting from home sharers this is made between the platform and the home sharers they can do that frankly is a a great business model we've got something platforms can with distinguish their platforms but i think as people who that might have more legal experience than i do will know that the problem is we do have any platforms in the city and to the point that supervisor farrell made earlier there's a chance many more to come and don't priority operates on the same business model they don't col

item as amended? >> so moved. >> motion by supervisor mar. we can take that without objection.

amendment.senator marco rubio filed an amendment calling for iran to recognize israel's right to exist as a jewish state before sanctions could be lifted. our friends on the democratic side did not want to vote on that amendment. ending response the majority leader cut off all amendments. madame president, i sat in the majority leader's office and urged the majority leader invoke cloture on senator rubio's amendment. invoke cloture and senator rubio's amendment calling on iran to recognize israel's right to exist and setting that is the precondition, i argued vociferously with the majority leader that if the democrats were so opposed to voting on that amendment, that was all the more reason because it was important substantively and the majority leader said no. he would not do so. invoking cloture on an amendment was an extraordinary step and he wouldn't do so so he cut off every amendment. he filled the tree. the democratic leader senator harry reid calling out the majority leader, fulfilling e
