OF HUNTINGTON BEACH OPPOSING ASSEMBLY BILL
NO. 1003 RELATIVE TO AMENDMENTS TO THE HEALTH
AND SAFETY CODE CONCERNING POSSESSION AND USE
OF MARIJUANA
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach
is concerned over the penalties proposed for the possession and
use of marijuana; and
Said Assembly Bill No . 1003 amends the Health and Safety
Code to make simple possession, cultivating, harvesting, drying
or processing of marijuana a misdemeanor, rather than a felony,
and adds cultivating, harvesting, drying or processing marijuana
for sale to the provision prescribing penalties for possession
of marijuana for sale; and
Said Assembly Bill No . 1003 restricts felony offenses for
the purposes of prior convictions under the new amendments to
felony marijuana offenses and removes certain restrictions on
probation; and
The City Council believes that the proposed amendments are
not in the best interest of the city, of the citizens of this
city and other cities ,
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Huntington
Beach does hereby declare its opposition to Assembly Bill
No . 1003, and does hereby request and encourage our legislators,
other cities and persons interested in protecting the health,
safety and welfare of the citizens of this state to do all
within their power to prevent adoption of said Assembly Bill
No. 1003 .
The City Clerk is hereby instructed to mail copies of this
resolution to appropriate members of the California Legislature,
representing this area, and to Assemblyman Sieroty.
