SUBJECT: LEGISLATION - SB 2028 (Doolittle)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION($)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECONIlEENDATION
Indicate that the Board of Supervisors continues to SUPPORT SB
2028 by Senator Doolittle which would add specified stimulants to
the list of controlled substances . for which possession of
instruments used for injecting, ingesting or smoking these
substances is unlawful.
BACKGROUND:
On March 13 , 1990 the Board of Supervisors voted to support SB
2028 by Senator Doolittle. The bill has now been amended.
Existing law provides that it is unlawful to possess any
instrument or paraphernalia used for unlawfully injecting or
smoking certain specified controlled substances. Senator
Doolittle has Introduced SB 2028 which adds certain stimulant's to
this list and thereby makes it unlawful to possess any
instruments used to inject or smoke these substances. In
addition, SB 2028 adds . instruments used to ingest these
substances.
Since SB 2028 appears to make it more difficult to possess
instruments which allow an individual to inject, ingest or smoke
controlled substances the bill assists in furthering the Board of
Supervisors' war on drugs. It is therefore recommended that the
Board of Supervisors indicate its continued support for SB 2028 .
