CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH
RESOLUTION NO. RES-24-7428
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH,
CALIFORNIA EXPRESSING SUPPORT TO ASSEMBLY BILL 2309
WHEREAS, the legislature of the State of California each year proposes,
passes, and has signed into law a number of bills addressing a range of public
safety issues; and
WHEREAS, Government Code 4180.5. authorizes the city attorney of any
general law city or chartered city to, with the consent of the district attorney of
that county, prosecute any misdemeanor committed within the city arising out of
violation of state law; and
WHEREAS, on February 12, 2024, Assemblymember Al Muratsuchi
introduced, amended thereafter to add co-author Assemblymember Blanca
Pacheco, Assembly Bill (AB) 2309, which would remove the consent requirement
and, instead, authorize the city attorney of any general law city or chartered city
to prosecute any misdemeanor committed within the city arising out of violation
of state law; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Hermosa Beach feels strongly that
AB 2309 provides local governments autonomy by allowing city attorneys to
prosecute state misdemeanors to respond swiftly and appropriately to the public
safety challenges municipalities face.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH,
CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City of Hermosa Beach is in support of AB 2309.
SECTION 2. The City Clerk shall email a copy of this adopted resolution to
the League of California Cities at CityLetters@calcities.org, and the offices of
Assemblymember Al Muratsuchi and Assemblymember Blanca Pacheco.
PASSED, APPROVED, and ADOPTED on this 15th day of May, 2024.
