We're transitioning like Boston, San Francisco Bay area, very progressive environmentally.

The good news is these are great paying jobs.

I represent an area that has five of the 13 refineries left in the State of California.

Lastly, I thank Chairman Nadler and Congressman Katko for their leadership on this important legislation. Mr. Speaker, I urge a ``yes'' vote, and I reserve the balance of my time.

I have to believe that this Congress recognizes the importance of ending the shameful practice of putting children in adult jails and prisons.

There is a critical need for us to do something about the fact that we still have children in adult jails and prisons.

The United States Congress should end and ban life without parole sentences for children.

I believe that all children are children.

I'll finish by highlighting the bold childcare legislation introduced last week by Chairman Bobby Scott.

To that end, H.R. 1195 directs OSHA to issue an interim final standard within 1 year and a final standard within 42 months, requiring healthcare and social service employers to develop and implement a workplace violence prevention plan. It…

I hope we would adopt these three good amendments en bloc, and I yield back the balance of my time.

I have two additional speakers. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from Illinois (Ms. Newman).

May I inquire as to the time remaining on both sides, please? The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. McEachin). The gentleman from Virginia has 9\1/4\ minutes remaining. The gentlewoman from North Carolina has 4\1/2\ minutes remaining.

I urge my colleagues to join me in voting for this legislation, and I reserve the balance of my time.

I certainly agree with his comments and would like to enter into the record an outline of the original CDC guidelines from meat packing plants, and then the final CDC guidelines after the Trump administration White House got involved…

Californians disagreed. They voted by a nearly 17-point margin last year to exclude base drivers from this new test, and lawmakers scrambled to include roughly 100 carve-outs in the law.

If you apply that test nationally, as President Biden has said he is committed to doing, you would forcibly reclassify as many as half of all independent contractors, if not more, and jeopardize up to about 8.5 percent of our Nation's GDP.

The ABC test would destroy many of these independent jobs and kill the flexibility and the autonomy for many of the rest of those jobs, in addition to hiking consumer prices, despite the fact that more than nine out of ten independent…

I urge my colleagues to support the Protecting the Right to Organize Act, and I yield back the balance of my time.

Reference was made to union officials at the UAW. They were caught and prosecuted under present law. The Trump administration that prosecuted them did not make any recommendations for changes in the law. Mr. Speaker, I am proud to yield 1…

The gentleman's amendment was made in order, so we will be considering it. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from North Carolina (Ms. Adams), the chair of the Workforce Protections Subcommittee.

Could you advise how much time is available on each side? The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Cicilline). The gentleman from Virginia has 21\1/2\ minutes. The gentlewoman from North Carolina has 20\1/2\ minutes.
