DATE: rTq-couK
SUBJECT: LEGISLATION - AB 1397 (Eaves)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a position in SUPPORT of AB 1397 by Assemblyman Eaves,
which would impose a tax of 20 of the sales price on all dog and
cat product containers, with the proceeds of the tax being
allocated to local governmental animal care and control agencies
in proportion to the number of residents served by each agency.
BACKGROUND:
The Board of Supervisors, at the request of the Director of
Animal Services, sponsored a Resolution to the CSAC Annual
Meeting in November, 1990 supporting legislation which would
impose a tax on animal product containers to be used for animal
services. CSAC endorsed such legislation, which was originally
suggested by the City of Los Angeles.
Assemblyman Eaves has now introduced legislation of the type
requested by this County and CSAC. In view of the fact that this
legislation was suggested to CSAC by Contra Costa County, it is
appropriate that the Board of Supervisors indicate their support
for AB 1397 .
