and would be required to solicit participation by appropriate
federal agencies.
The Department of Justice' s Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement,
Bureau of Forensic Services and Bureau of organized Crime and
Criminal Intelligence would be required to provide staffing and
logistical support for the task forces by supplying special
agents, criminal intelligence analysts, forensic experts,
financial auditors, equipment and funding to the task forces as
needed.
Local law enforcement agencies participating in the Crank-Up Task
Force Program would be reimbursed by the Department of Justice
for personnel overtime costs and equipment or supplies required
for task force activities.
The Department of Justice would be required to report annually,
beginning January 1, 1992; on its activities and on the
accomplishments of the Clandestine Laboratory Program to the
Legislature and to federal, state and local law enforcement
agencies as well as other interested groups.
The bill would appropriate $9,800 ,000 from the General Fund to
the Department of Justice to implement the Crank-Up Task Force
Program. '
The bill includes an urgency clause and thus would become
effective upon approval by the Governor.
Passage and enactment of SB 2031 would provide additional
assistance to the District Attorney and Sheriff-Coroner, as well
as other local law enforcement agencies in attempting to address
the growing problem of clandestine laboratories for the
manufacture of methamphetamine and thereby would further the
Board of Supervisors war on drugs. . It is therefore recommended
that the Board of Supervisors indicate its support for SB 2031.
SB 2031 was introduced on February 16, 1990 and has not yet been
assigned to a Policy Committee in the Senate.
