A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF EL SEGUNDO
OPPOSING AB 2427 (ENG) A BILL LIMITING LOCAL GOVERNMENTS'
POWER TO ENFORCE REGULATIONS PROTECTING THE PUBLIC HEALTH,
SAFETY AND WELFARE
BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of El Segundo as follows:
SECTION 1: The City Council finds as follows:
A. While counties and cities may not prohibit a professional licensed
by the California Department of Consumer services from engaging
in that business, occupation or profession; nevertheless, state law
does not and should not explicitly preempt local regulations;
B. Local government agencies have and should retain the authority
and obligation to enact and enforce regulations that protect the
health, safety and welfare of the public;
C. Special- interest sponsored legislative efforts - like AB2427 - which
unreasonably restrict or intrude upon local governments' power to
enforce regulations protecting the public health, safety and welfare
should be opposed;
SECTION 2: The City of El Segundo opposes AB 2427 as it unreasonably limits
and restricts local governments' power to enforce regulations protecting the
public health, safety, and welfare.
SECTION 3: The City Manager is directed and authorized to communicate the
City Council's policy position on this matter to members of the Legislature, the
Governor and administrative agencies as necessary.
SECTION 4: The City Clerk is directed to certify the adoption of this Resolution;
record this Resolution in the book of the City's original resolutions; and make a
minute of the adoption of the Resolution in the City Council's records and the
minutes of this meeting.
SECTION 5: This Resolution will become effective immediately upon adoption
and will remain effective unless repealed or superseded.
