FROM: Phil Batchelor Contra
County Administrator Cost
DATE'. May 15, 1986 County
SUBJECT: Legislation: Assembly Bill 2692 (Harris)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a position of support for AB 2692 by Assemblyman Elihu
Harris.
BACKGROUND:
Existing law contains various provisions defining offenses
involving controlled substances. Assemblyman Harris has
introduced AB 2692 which would require the Department of Justice
to establish a clandestine laboratory enforcement program. The
bill would appropriate $8. 5 million from the General Fund to the
Department of Justice for the purposes of the bill. These funds
would be used to assist State and local law enforcement agencies
and districts' attorneys in apprehending and prosecuting persons
involved in the unlawful manufacture of controlled substances.
Specifically, the bill would authorize funding to reimburse
cities and counties for prosecuting specified controlled
substance offenses, investigating such offenses, and for the
costs incurred in removing and disposing of, or storing, toxic
wastes from the site of such laboratories. The bill also
provides funding for specialized training equipment and personnel
to deal with clandestine laboratories.
The Sheriff-Coroner is on record in support of AB 2692 and this
office believes the Board of Supervisors should also support this
bill.
