Resolution No. 768RESOLUTION NO. 768
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS
EXPRESSING ITS SUPPORT FOR ASSEMBLY BILL 877 CONCERNING
PRE-EMPTION BY THE STATE
WHEREAS, the legal doctrine of pre-emption 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 guidelines in the court
decisions involving pre-emption which makes it impossible to
determine whether a given area of the law has been pre-empted 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 Cypress:
1. That the City Council strongly supports Assembly Bill
877 and requests that it be enacted into law by the State Legislature.
2. The City Clerk is directed to send copies of this
Resolution to the State legislators from Orange County and the
League of California Cities.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Cypress,
at a regular meeting held on the 24th day of April, 1967.
