LEGISLATURE BY SENATOR H. L. RICHARDSON
WHEREAS, local jurisdictions can no longer enact
or enforce local regulations in various fields which the
courts of this State have held to have been preempted by
State legislation; and
WHEREAS, various activities particularly inimical
to the health, welfare and morals of the inhabitants of
local jurisdictions exist and cannot be regulated at the
local level because of said court decisions and are not
regulated by State legislation; and
WHEREAS, councilmen, city attorneys, other law-
yers and the general public alike are uncertain what local
regulations can validly be enacted and enforced in any field
in which there is State legislation, as a result of said
court decisions; and
WHEREAS, it is essential that State legislation
be enacted to assure predictability of the law and to enable
local jurisdictions to regulate unwholesome activities which
are not regulated by the State; and
WHEREAS, Senate Bill 4 adding Section 9618 to the
Government Code introduced in the 1969 session of the State
Legislature by Senator H. L. Richardson will assure predicta-
bility of the law and return a degree of control to local
jurisdiction;
