cannot be suspended, felony conviction for the sale,
possession for sale or possession of controlled substances
on the grounds of or within any school during hours when the
school is open for classes or school-related programs or on
the grounds of a public playground during the hours when
school-related programs for minors are being conducted.
2. Require a court to confine a juvenile to a locked facility
for 10 days if the juvenile has been found to be a person
who is under the jurisdiction of the juvenile court for
unlawfully engaging in the sale, possessing or possessing
for sale controlled substances where the offense constitutes
a felony and would extend this provision to situations where
the offense occurs on the grounds of a public playground
during the hours when school-related programs for minors are
conducted.
3. Require the Director of Corrections to establish programs
for drug and alcohol abuse education and treatment for
inmates who 'have been identified by the department as
suffering from drug or alcohol abuse or dependency.
Since SB 1231 increases the punishment for a variety of
controlled substance offenses and provides drug and alcohol
education and treatment programs for individuals confined in
state prisons the bill appears to be consistent with the Board of
Supervisors ' war on drugs. It would therefore appear to be
appropriate for the Board of Supervisors to indicate its
continued support for SB 1231.
