1 Case: , 04/03/2017, ID: , DktEntry: 10, Page 1 of 103 No UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT ULISES GARCIA, et al., Plaintiffs-Appellants, v. XAVIER BECERRA, in his official capacity as Attorney General of California, Defendant-Appellee. On Appeal from the United States District Court Central District of California The Honorable Beverly Reid O Connell Case 2:16-cv BRO-AFM APPELLANTS MOTION TO TAKE JUDICIAL NOTICE Bradley A.

2 Case: , 04/03/2017, ID: , DktEntry: 10, Page 2 of 103 MOTION TO TAKE JUDICIAL NOTICE Under Federal Rule of Evidence 201 and in connection with the Opening Brief filed concurrently with this motion, Plaintiffs-Appellants Ulises Garcia, Jordan Gallinger, Brian Hill, Brooke Hill, Craig DeLuz, Scott Dipman, Albert Duncan, Tracey Graham, Lisa Jang, Dennis Serbu, Michael Veredas, Firearms Policy Foundation, Firearms Policy Coalition, Madison Society Foundation, and The Calguns Foundation, move the Court to take judicial notice of the documents identified below, which are part of the legislative record of the bill that enacted the statutory classification that Appellants challenge in this case. Sen. Bill No. 707 ( Reg. Sess., Wolk). Because [t]he court may take judicial notice at any stage of the proceeding, it may be taken for the first time on appeal. Fed. R. Evid. 201(d); see Bryant v. Carleson, 444 F.2d 353, 357 (9th Cir. 1971). Judicial notice is appropriate because the documents are matters of public record. Lee v. City of Los Angeles, 250 F.3d 668, 689 (9th Cir. 2001). See also Anderson v. Holder, 673 F.3d 1089, 1094 n.1 (9th Cir. 2012) ( [l]egislative history is properly a subject of judicial notice. ). As shown in Appellants Opening Brief, this material from the legislative record is directly relevant to the appeal. In an Equal Protection challenge to a statutory classification, courts consider, among other things, the historical context and the conditions existing prior to its enactment. Reitman v. Mulkey, 387 U.S. 369, 373 (1967). It is therefore appropriate 1

3 Case: , 04/03/2017, ID: , DktEntry: 10, Page 3 of 103 for the court to take judicial notice of the existence of these documents and the statements made in them. Miles, Inc. v. Scripps Clinic & Research Found., 951 F.2d 361 (9th Cir. 1991) (a court may not only judicially notice the existence of a particular document, but the substance of the document as well. ). For these reasons, the Court should grant this motion to take judicial notice. Dated: April 3, 2017 s/ Bradley A. Benbrook Attorney for Plaintiff-Appellants Ulises Garcia, et al. 2

10 Case: , 04/03/2017, ID: , DktEntry: 10, Page 10 of 103 SENATE BILL No. 707 Introduced by Senator Wolk (Principal coauthor: Senator Jackson) February 27,2015 An act to amend Section of the Penal Code, relating to firearms. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST SB 707, as introduced, Wolk. Firearms: gun-free school zone. The existing Gun-Free School Zone Act of 1995 prohibits a person from possessing a firearm in a place that the person knows, or reasonably should know, is a school zone, unless with the written permission of certain school district officials. Existing law defines a school zone as an area on the grounds of a school providing instruction in kindergarten or grades 1 to 12, or within a distance of 1,000 feet of that school. Existing law prohibits a person from possessing a firearm upon the grounds of a campus of a public or private university or college, that are contiguous or are clearly marked as university property, unless with the written permission of specified university or college officials. Under existing law, a violation of these provisions is a felony, or, under specified circumstances, a misdemeanor. Under existing law, certain persons are exempt from both the school zone and the university prohibitions, including, among others, a person holding a valid license to carry a concealed firearm and retired peace officers authorized to carry concealed or loaded firearms. This bill would instead allow a person holding a valid license to carry a concealed firearm, and a retired peace officer authorized to carry a concealed or loaded firearm, to carry a firearm in an area that is within 1,000 feet of, but not on the grounds of, a public or private school providing instruction in kindergarten or grades 1 to 12. This bill would also delete the exemption that allows a person holding a valid license 99 Provided by LRI History LLC Part 1 Page 2 of 521

By expanding the scope of an existing crime, this bill would create a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason. Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: yes. The people of the State of California do enact as follows: 1 SECTION 1. Section of the Penal Code is amended to 2 read: (a) This section shall be known, and may be cited, as 4 the Gun-Free School Zone Act of (b) Any person who possesses a firearm in a place that the 6 person knows, or reasonably should know, is a school zone, as 7 defined in paragraph (1) of subdivision ( e), unless it is with the 8 written permission of the school district superintendent, his or her 9 designee, or equivalent school authority, shall be punished as 10 specified in subdivision (t). 11 (c) Subdivision (b) does not apply to the possession of a firearm 12 under any of the following circumstances: 13 (1) Within a place of residence or place of business or on private 14 property, if the place of residence, place of business, or private 15 property is not part of the school grounds and the possession of 16 the firearm is otherwise lawful. 17 (2) When the firearm is an unloaded pistol, revolver, or other 18 firearm capable of being concealed on the person and is in a locked 19 container or within the locked trunk of a motor vehicle. 20 This section does not prohibit or limit the otherwise lawful 21 transportation of any other firearm, other than a pistol, revolver, 22 or other firearm capable of being concealed on the person, in 23 accordance with state law. 24 (3) When the person possessing the firearm reasonably believes 25 that he or she is in grave danger because of circumstances forming 26 the basis of a current restraining order issued by a court against 99 Provided by LRI History LLC Part 1 Page 3 of 521

We do not believe that such persons should be able to enter a campus in the absence of specific permission. These were the persons to whom we were referring in our March 16, 2015 letter when we referenced "certain persons with permission to carry a concealed weapon." We do not feel the same with respect to law enforcement personnel or persons, like honorably retired peace officers, who remain under the rubric of accountability of their prior law enforcement agency through a specific endorsement (as distinguished from the concealed weapons permit conferred pursuant to Penal Code Section 26150). In fact, a strong case can be made that the presence of this honorably retired law enforcement cohort actually adds to the safe environment of a campus. Although it was initially represented to us that the case of Silveira v. Lockyer prohibited taking differing action between those retired officers possessing an endorsement and those in possession of a CCW pursuant to Penal Code 26150, our own independent analysis has since led us to conclude that this is not the case. In fact, the standards by which a CCW holder may obtain and retain a permit are much looser than those required of an honorably retired peace officer to obtain a weapons endorsement. Consider the following: 1. Peace officers seeking a weapons endorsement upon their retirement, may only obtain such endorsement from their employing agency, or the lineal successor to that agency. Contrast this with applicants who may seek a concealed weapons permit from up to four different agencies. 2. The Peace Officer must be honorably retired. This means that the officer must be one who has qualified for and accepted a service or disability retirement. Please note that "honorably retired" does not include an officer who has agreed to a 11Page Provided by LRI History LLC Part 1 Page 191 of 521

Again, contrast this with applicants whose application is not restricted by the nature of their employment status. 3. Further, there are even some honorably retiredq1ws peace officers who still may not be receive a weapons endorsement. Section of the Penal Code prohibits issuing an endorsement to carry concealed to any peace officer who retired after January 1, 1989 due to a psychological disability. There is no such statutory prohibition imposed on one who applies for a CCW pursuant to Section The privilege of an honorably retired peace officer to retain a weapons endorsement can be revoked or denied for, among other things, violating any department rule that if violated by an officer on active duty would have resulted in that officer's suspension or termination. This is an extraordinary standard that makes the honorably retired officer's ability to continue to carry concealed contingent on the personnel standards of the agency for which he/she no longer works. Again, there is not a comparable statutory standard for a CCW holder. It is clear that the distinctions and the standards of accountability between an honorably retired officer with a weapons endorsement and a person holding a CCW pursuant to Penal Code Section are sufficiently different to justify treating these two groups differently without violating the Silveira case. Moreover the instances in which honorably retired peace officers have taken proactive action to combat criminal activity presents an historical record that differs from the history of persons with Penal Code Section We do not support denying access to honorably retired peace officers and respectfully request that the provisions denying that access be removed from the bill Removal of those provisions will enable us to continue with our sponsorship and support of Senate Bill 707. Thank you for considering the views of the California College and University Police Chiefs Association. Sincerely, Randy Burba President 21Page Provided by LRI History LLC Part 1 Page 192 of 521

This bill will close gaps in the Gun Free School Safety Act of Under that act, although firearms are generally prohibited on school or college campuses, certain persons with permission to carry a concealed weapon are permitted on campus, irrespective of the wishes of campus officials. It is an unhappy reality that active shooter incidents take place disproportionately on school and college campuses. During 2014, there were 42 reported active shooter incidents that took place on school and college campuses. Measured against that backdrop, Senate Bill 707 reduces risk of future active shooter incidents by reducing the number of firearms that may legally be brought onto a campus. It should be noted that Senate Bill 707 does not create an outright prohibition, since California law permits campus governing entities to confer permission for persons with concealed weapons to come onto campus on a case by case basis. Senate Bill 707 places control over campus safety issues where it ought to be: with campus governing entities, rather than giving an unqualified right for persons with concealed weapons permits to have unfettered campus access. Please let us know how we may assist you in securing passage of this legislation.

If those provisions are amended, we will support the bill because the bill's focus will then properly be on addressing unrestricted campus access of persons who possess concealed weapons permits pursuant Penal Code Section We believe that honorably retired peace officers represent a public safety asset and that it is a mistake not to have the ready availability of those officers. They are subject to stringent standards in determining if they are to be given a firearms endorsement upon retirement, must adhere to the same standards as the active officers employed by their agency in order to retain that endorsement, are subject to ongoing training requirements, and have demonstrated an ability to take positive public safety action when the occasion calls for that action. As officers sworn to protect school campuses, we consider the presence of an honorably retired peace officer - with their decades of training and professionalism - to be a distinct asset in our ability to carry out our mission. The sad reality is that active shooter incidents take place disproportionately on our campuses and an honorably retired peace officer can playa role in helping to keep such incidents in check. If the language impacting honorably retired peace officers were redacted from the bill, the California College and University Police Chiefs Association would be an enthusiastic supporter of SB 707. We applaud those provisions of SB 707 that would prevent concealed weapons permit holders (pursuant to Penal Code Section 26150) from having unrestricted campus access. This category of concealed weapon permit holders obtain their concealed weapons permits pursuant to criteria and standards that vary widely throughout the state. We do not believe that such persons should be able to enter a campus in the absence of specific permission. The standards by which a CCW holder may obtain and retain a permit are much looser than those required of an honorably retired peace officer in order for that officer to retain a firearms endorsement. Consider the following: California College and University Police Chief's Association Board of Directors Randy Burba, President-Will Glen, First Vice President-Mark DiMaggio, Second Vice President-Gary Mejia, Treasurer Christine Smith, Executive Director Provided by LRI History LLC Part 1 Page 186 of 521

26 Case: , 04/03/2017, ID: , DktEntry: 10, Page 26 of 103 California College and University Police Chiefs Association 915 L Street #282 Sacramento, CA Peace officers seeking a weapons endorsement upon their retirement may only obtain such endorsement from their employing agency, or the lineal successor to that agency. Contrast this with applicants who may seek a concealed weapons permit from up to four different agencies. 2. The Peace Officer must be honorably retired: This means that the officer must be one who has qualified for and accepted a service or disability retirement. Please note that "honorably retired" does not include an officer who has agreed to a retirement in lieu of termination or discipline. Again, contrast this with applicants whose application is not restricted by the nature of their employment status. 3. Further, there are even some honorably retired peace officers who still may not be receive a weapons endorsement. Section of the Penal Code prohibits issuing an endorsement to carry concealed to any peace officer who retired after January 1, 1989 due to a psychological disability. There is no such statutory prohibition imposed on one who applies for a CCW pursuant to Section The privilege of an honorably retired peace officer to retain a weapons endorsement can be revoked or denied for, among other things, violating any department rule that if violated by an officer on active duty would have resulted in that officer's suspension or termination. This is an extraordinary standard that makes the honorably retired officer's ability to continue to carry concealed contingent on the personnel standards of the agency for which he/she no longer works. Again, there is not a comparable statutory standard for a CCW holder. 5. The honorably retired peace officer typically has two decades of training in the proper use of his or her firearm; no such deep level of training exists with respect to a CCW holder. Our responsibility is the protection of our campuses and the three million people who either are enrolled or work at the institution in question. We believe that the presence of honorably retired peace officers enhances that protection, while the unrestricted presence of CCW holders increases risk. We believe that fundamental public safety objectives are best achieved by focusing SB 707 on the CCW holders. The honorably retired peace officers are part of our public safety solution, the CCW holders, in our view, are the potential public safety problem.

If the bill is amended to remove the provisions that prohibit honorably retired peace officers to have campus access, our position would shift from "oppose" to "support". We are mindful of the disproportionate shooting incidents that take place on school, college and university campuses and support your portion of SB 707 that bars people possessing a concealed weapons permit from having unregulated access to campuses. In light of the widely differing standards by which those persons obtain a CCW, such a ban is prudent and appropriate. We do not support, however, prohibiting honorably retired peace officers from campus access. The fact is that honorably retired peace officers obtain their weapons endorsement through exacting and ongoing standards which are uniform throughout California. In addition, honorably retired peace officers have a demonstrated track record of taking appropriate public safety action in a number of validated instances. Candidly, the presence of an honorably retired peace officer on a campus will add to, not detract from, the safety environ ment of that campus. We look forward to working with you in what I know is our mutual desire to make campuses safer.

Forcing our retired members to choose between picking up their children or grandchildren from school or attending school events and ensuring their own ability to protect themselves or their loved ones is a decision they should not be required to make. Neither should retired officers be forced to jeopardize their safety in order to take college classes. For these reasons, we respectfully oppose SB 707.

Regrettably, SCOPO is opposed to SB 707. This legislation would prohibit retired peace officers from lawfully carrying concealed weapons on a school campus. As a result, if a retired police officer is confronted at a school, he/she may be unable to adequately defend himselflherself. In addition, this bill will force retired peace officers to make a choice between picking up children/grandchildren from school, or entering school grounds without the ability to protect themselves. As a result SB 707 may not only jeopardize the safety of retired peace officers, but the public as well. For the reasons set forth above, SCOPO opposed SB 707.

We wish to commend you for these amendments as well as the underlying thrust of this bill which will close gaps in the Gun Free School Safety Act of Under that act, although firearms are generally prohibited on school or college campuses, certain persons with permission to carry a concealed weapon are permitted on campus, irrespective of the wishes of campus officials. This is a matter of great concern, since the standards for granting a CCW to an individual vary widely throughout the state. It is a sad reality that active shooter incidents take place disproportionately on school and college campuses. During 2014, there were 42 reported active shooter incidents that took place on school and college campuses. Measured against that backdrop, Senate Bill 707 reduces risk of future active shooter incidents by reducing the number of firearms that may legally be brought onto a campus. It should be noted that Senate Bill 707 does not create an outright prohibition, since California law permits campus governing entities to confer permission for persons with concealed weapons to come onto campus on a case by case basis. Senate Bill 707 places control over campus safety issues where it ought to be: with campus governing entities and their POST certified police agencies, rather than giving an unqualified right for persons with concealed weapons permits to have unfettered campus access. Please let us know how we may assist you in securing passage of this legislation. Sincerely, /'.?

Our school campuses should be a place of learning and growth for our children. The tragedies in Isla Vista and Santa Monica were devastating. Keeping guns off of our campuses is critical to ensuring the safest learning environment possible. SB 707 prohibits CCW holders from possessing firearms on the grounds of a K-12 school or university. We thank you for amending this bill to remove retired public safety officers from this prohibition. Retired peace officers are trained and experienced safety personnel. They dedicated their career to keeping our streets safe. While we hope our students never have to experience campus violence, should we have a dangerous situation occur we would want these highly trained former officers to have the tools necessary to respond if they are present on a campus during such an event.

The man, who school officials called a troop leader, was taken to Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge. Des Plaines police Chief William Kushner said the man is a retired Chicago police officer. No one else was injured, and police did not file charges because no laws were broken, Kushner said. The retired officer is licensed to carry the firearm, according to a letter to the school community from Iroquois Principal Michael Amadei.
