SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOPMENDATION
Adopt a position in SUPPORT of SB 2305 by Senator Ayala which
would increase the amount of money going into the Sheriff ' s
Laboratory Fund from fines and forfeitures imposed on individuals
convicted of driving under the influence and other related
offenses.
BACKGROUND:
Under current law, $50 for each conviction of driving under the
influence is credited to the Sheriff ' s Laboratory Fund to be used
exclusively to pay for the cost of performing analysis of the
blood, breath or urine for alcohol content or for the presence of
drugs. Assemblyman Campbell was successful several years ago in
getting legislation passed which would authorize the court in
Contra Costa County, upon the order of the Board of Supervisors,

to the Sheriff ' s Laboratory Fund.
Senator Ayala has now introduced SB 2305 which would increase the
amount to be allocated to the Sheriff ' s Laboratory Fund from $50
to $100 and would allow the board of supervisors in any county to
impose a $50 assessment to assist in covering the costs of the
fines and forfeitures thus diverted to the Laboratory Fund. The
bill would also, at the request of Assemblyman Campbell,
authorize the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors to
