County Administrator Cita
DATE: May 15, 1986 Qy Camey
SUBJECT: Legislation: Assembly Bill 3528 ( Campbell)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION•
Adopt a position of support for AB 3528 by Assemblyman Campbell.
BACKGROUND:
Under existing law, a court may dismiss a charge of failing to
restrain a child in a child restraint system if the person
produces proof that they have obtained such a restraint.
Alternately, the court may order the persons to attend a program
providing education in the use of child passenger restraint
systems. Current law does not allow the court the discretion of
making either or both of these orders.
AB 3528 would allow the court the discretion to either dismiss
the charge or order the person to attend a program providing
education in the use of child passenger restraint systems, or
both.
The Health Services Director recommends that the Board support AB
3528 on the basis that what is needed is to educate parents to
the importance of using a child passenger restraint system. This
goal is not achieved by having parents simply obtain such a
system, dismissing the complaint, with no assurance that the
parent understands the importance of using the system.
