Governor

Will attend a gubernatorial campaign fund-raising dinner at the Antelope Valley Fairgrounds in Lancaster on Thursday. Assembly Floor Action:

Teen-age Pregnancy: Passed and sent to the Senate on a 42-29 vote a bill (AB 4199) by Assemblyman Elihu M. Harris (D-Oakland) to create a legislative Commission on Adolescent Pregnancy to study problems associated with teen-agers’ sexual behavior. A report with recommendations for new laws to deal with the problems would be due by July 1, 1988.

Apartheid: Adopted and sent to the Senate on a 56-13 vote a resolution (AJR 101) by Assemblywoman Maxine Waters (D-Los Angeles) urging President Reagan and Congress to demand the release of all South African anti-apartheid activists from prison and to enact stricter economic sanctions against that country.

Leaf Blowers: Rejected by a 22-47 vote a bill (AB 3324) by Assemblywoman Gwen Moore (D-Los Angeles) to prohibit the statewide sale of leaf blowers that produce a maximum noise of 65 decibels at a distance of 50 feet. The bill was requested by the City of Los Angeles, which has a noise ordinance that could be used to control the blowers but which the city says is unenforceable because of a lack of personnel to measure the noise.

This is the legislative panel that has jurisdiction over all the Administration’s proposed state prison plans.

AIDS: Approved and sent to the Senate on a 72-4 vote a bill (AB 3393) by Assemblyman Richard E. Floyd (D-Hawthorne) to require the Department of Health Services in consultation with the Department of Corrections to develop by next January a comprehensive plan to deal with the problems of AIDS inside state prisons.

Toxics: Passed and sent to the Senate on a 73-1 vote a bill (AB 4002) by Assemblywoman Marian W. La Follette (R-Northridge) to require the University of California to establish a toxic disaster technical adviser training program at UC Irvine and UC San Francisco. Senate Floor Action
