CC - 1968 - 074 - Senate Bill No. 425CITY OF ROSEMEAD
RESOLUTION NO. 68-74
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF ROSEMEAD SUPPORTING SENATE BILL NO. 425
WHEREAS, the doctrine of pre-emption by implication
as enunciated and applied by the courts of California has
resulted in the invalidation of many ordinances adopted by cities
and counties attempting to exercise the police power conferred
upon them by Section 11 of Article XI of the Constitution of the
State of California; and
WHEREAS, local governmental agencies and their officers
are presently unable to determine with any assurance whether a
regulation or ordinance in many areas of importance to their
citizens and others within their jurisdiction, would be held to
be invalid under the doctrine of implied pre-emption; and
WHEREAS, Senate Bill No. 425 would substantially clari-
fy the law by defining the areas in which local ordinances or
regulations may not lawfully be adopted, and by setting forth a
more clearly defined legislative policy of the State in that
regard;
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Rosemead
does resolve as follows:
Section 1 That this City Council, after full consid-
eration o Senate Bill No. 425 and the objectives which it is
designed to achieve, hereby approves said Senate Bill No. 425
as good legislation designed to eliminate confusion and uncer-
tainty as to the validity of ordinances and regulations by cities
and counties, thereby improving local government and its relation-
ship with the citizenry.
Section 2 That this City Council hereby expresses
its support o Senate Bill No. 425 and urges the honorable mem-
bers of the Assembly of the California Legislature to support
said bill and to enact it into law.
Section 3 That the City Clerk certify copies of this
resolution an forward the same to each member of the Issembly
Committee on Criminal Procedure, to the Speaker of the Assembly,
and to Assemblymen Harvey Johnson and Walter Karabian, Assemblymen
from the Forty-fifth and Fifty-eighth Districts.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 9th day of July, 1968.
Mayor o the City o Rosemead
