RESOLUTION NO. 8209
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF AZUSA URGING RESCISSION OF PROPOSED
SENATE BILL 624.
WHEREAS, Assembly Bill 503, enacted on February
25, 1985, permits 58 by weight of alcohol in confectionery
products. This 58 content will now be limited to 28 by
proposed Senate Bill 624. A move which, besides being an
arbitrary adjustment, is causing the confectionery industry
a great loss in view of the fact that other States and foreign
competition are permitted the greater content. This simply
does not permit local industries to compete, and
WHEREAS, the assumption that candy is solely for
children is not a valid argument. Adults, also, consume
these confections. The premise that children would be exposed
to these confections is also invalid, as their exposure
is governed by parental discretion rather than packaging.
The same argument holds true for the sale of alcoholic
beverages which is permitted, and
WHEREAS, Azusa's local confectionery will be caused
great discomfiture from this proposed Bill by possible closure
of his business, not to mention loss of employment by local
residents and distributors of his products throughout
California.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, THAT THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF AZUSA, strongly urges the State Senate Housing
and Human Services Committee to rescind its support of Senate
Bill 624 so that the confectioners can continue to do what
was originally permitted by Assembly Bill 503.
ADOPTED AND APPROVED this 30th day of March, 1987.
