BACKGROUND:
On April 1, 1986, the Board referred to our Committee a letter
from Assemblyman Elihu Harris providing information regarding his
recently introduced legislation--AB 3734--which would establish a
Bay Area Narcotics Task Force.
Our Committee met with the District Attorney and staff from the
County Administrator' s Office on April 28. The District Attorney
noted he was in favor of the formation of such task forces even
though their successful implementation will inevitably increase
the workload on the courts, the District Attorney' s Office, the
Public Defender, and other elements of the criminal justice
system.
The County Administrator' s Office noted that the County' s
lobbyist had been advised by Assemblyman Harris ' s staff that they
will not be pursuing passage of AB 3734 this year, but will be
meeting with the counties in the Bay Area with a view toward
r.e-introducing similar legislation during the 1987 Session.
