mr. chair. colleagues, this is legislation that i introduced along with mayor lee and i want to thank our co-sponsors supervisors kim, mar, and campos to help streamline the financial hardship application process for tenants at the rent board. as you may recall, earlier this year we passed legislation that requires certain soft story building to be seismically retrofitted to protect residents and workers in the event of a future earthquake. item 15 that we have in front of us are some technical amendments to that legislation, but item 14 is really the heart of what we are moving forward as new city policy today to. to ensure that we have legislation that will help tenants who have financial hardships to get better access to exemptions that are permitted them under the receiptction board. according to the receiptctionv board, the current hardship exemption process takes about five months to complete. three months for a hearing to be scheduled ask two months for a decision to be made. under this legislation hopefully we'll be reducing that timing by many months. the legislation we have in front of us would streamline
