Costa
DATE: May 14, 1984 County
SUBJECT: Legislation: AB 3604--Intoxification .Checkpoints
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Acknowledge receipt of report of County Administrator.
BACKGROUND:
On April 24, 1984, at the suggestion of Supervisor Powers, the Board ordered my
office to review AB 3604 and requested the Alcoholism Advisory Board to meet with
representatives of Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (MADD) to review AB 3604 and to
invite the members of the Board of Supervisors to such meeting.
On April 25, 1984, AB 3604 was heard in the Assembly Committee on Criminal Law
and Public Safety. All eight members of the Committee were present. AB 3604
was able to get only two "aye"votes from Assemblyman Stirling and Assemblywoman
La Follette. Assemblyman Bates voted "no" and the remaining members of the
Committee, including Assemblyman Baker, .Harris, Margolin, and Sher and Assemblywoman
Moore abstained from voting. The bill thereby failed passage. In light of this
action, we have agreed with the Alcohol Program staff not to set up the special
meeting requested by the Board.
The Alcoholism Advisory Board will continue .to monitor legislation affecting the
problem of alcoholism and if a similar bill begins to move in this, or a future
session of the Legislature, will be happy to meet with MADD to coordinate their
efforts.
