DATE: sra co K
SUBJECT: LEGISLATION - SB 116 (Kopp)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Indicate that the Board is no longer the SPONSOR of SB 116 since
the amendments which the Board sought relating to giving local
agencies the authority to regulate committees formed to qualify
or oppose the qualification of local measures for the ballot.
While the county' s amendments were placed in this bill, the bill
is unlikely to be enacted in its present form.
BACKGROUND:
The Board of Supervisors has included in its 1991 Legislative
Program the passage of legislation which would authorize local
agencies to regulate individuals or committees which are. seeking
to qualify or oppose the qualification of local measures for the
ballot. Senator Kopp indicated that he would carry the
legislation for the County and had initially identified SB 424 as
the bill into which the County' s recommended language would be
amended. However, Senator Kopp later decided to place the
County' s language in SB 116. On May 7 , 1991, the Board indicated
its sponsorship of SB 116. Unfortunately, SB 116 ran into
substantial opposition for reasons having nothing to do with the
County' s language. It appears unlikely at .this time that Senator
Kopp will be able to get SB 116 out of the Elections and
Reapportionment Committee. ' Senator Kopp . has, therefore,
suggested using Senator Marks SB 595 for the County' s language.
Senator Marks is willing to amend the County' s language into SB
595 and it is, therefore, no longer necessary or appropriate for
the Board to be considered the sponsor of SB 116.
