IMPORTANT LEGISLATIVE ACTIVITY

SCA12 (Perata) - This bill would create a "Sales and use tax" of 5 cents per
cartridge or component sold in California. This bill is currently scheduled
to be heard in the Senate Health and Human Services Committee on Wednesday,
June 5, 2002 at 1:30 P. M. PLEASE CALL (916) 445-5965 and voice your
opposition to SCA12. For more information, go to:

AB1960 (Briggs) Would allow for a one-time Department of Justice listing and
fee payment for handguns that are required to be tested under SB15.  This
would replace the current system whereby manufactures are required to pay an
annual fee to keep their products on the "approved" list.

AB1960 passed out of the Assembly with a bipartisan vote of 62-0.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

SB682 & AB496 These bills seek to repeal part of the Civil Code 1714 that
deals with product liability. These bills were redrafted and gutted/amended
from bills that were initially introduced to do other things.  These bills
were changed after the anti-gun advocates lost their "101 California Street
lawsuit" against the firearms industry in the California State Supreme
Court.

The repeal of current law would only open the door of litigation to the
manufacturers of lawful and legal consumer products. Manufacturers of lawful
products should not be held responsible for the actions of criminals or any
person who uses the product in a negligent manner.

It is important that everyone continue to contact the legislature. These
bills could be voted on at any time in the Assembly (SB682) and in the
Senate (AB496).

SB682 is in the State Assembly.  AB496 is in the State Senate.
