SUBJECT: LEGISLATION: SB 1894 (Ayala)
SPECIFIC REOUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOME2NDATION
Indicate that the Board of Supervisors continues to SUPPORT SB
1894 by Senator Ayala which would increase the maximum penalty
for possession of specified combinations of chemicals at the same
time with the intent to manufacture PCP or methamphetamine.
BACKGROUND:
On February 27 , 1990 the Board of Supervisors voted to support SB
1894. On May 2, 1990 the bill was amended.
Under current law, it is a felony, punishable by imprisonment in
the state prison for 3 , 4, or 5 years for any person to possess
specified combinations of chemicals at the same time with the
intent to manufacture PCP, methamphetamine, or N-ethylamphetamine
or specified analogs of those substances.
Senator Ayala has introduced SB 1894 which would, as amended May
2, 1990, change these penalties to 2 , 4, or 6 years in the state
prison. Since SB 1894 increases the maximum penalty for
violating the laws relating to the manufacture of illegal drugs
it appears to be consistent with the Board of Supervisors ' war on
drugs. It is, therefore, recommended that the Board continue to
indicate its support of SB 1894.
