RESOLUTION N0, 6552
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
NEWPORT BEACH EXPRESSING ITS SUPPORT FOR ASSEMBLY
BILL 877 CONCERNING PREEMPTION
WHEREAS, the legal doctrine of preemption by implication,
as developed in the Carol Lane Case and other judicial decisions
which followed it, has severely handicapped cities and counties in
their efforts to hold down the rising crime rate by invalidating
local criminal laws; and
WHEREAS, there is a lack of clear guide lines in the court
decisions involving preemption which makes it impossible to deter-
mine whether a given area of the law has been preempted by the
State to the exclusion of local regulation; and
WHEREAS, Assembly Bill 877 which has been introduced in
the State Legislature would, if approved, enable cities and counties
to enact local, supplementary legislation on matters over which the
State has not asserted full jurisdiction; and
WHEREAS, this legislation has been carefully drafted by
legal experts in the field of public law and has the support of
the League of California Cities and the State Bar of California;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of
the City of Newport Beach:
le The City Council strongly supports Assembly Bill
877 and requests that it be enacted into'law by the State Legis-
lature.
20 The City Clerk is directed to send copies of this
resolution to the State legislators from Orange County, the
chairmen and members of the State Legislative Committees which
are concerned with this legislation, the Governor, the Board of
Supervisors of Orange County, the City Councils of all cities in
Orange County, and the League of California Cities.
