RESOLUTION 79-25
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA, REQUESTING AN AMENDMENT
TO SECTION 3202 OF THE LABOR CODE OF THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA
~4HEREAS, the City of Tustin is greatly concerned about the
costly abuses whi'ch have been occurring in the areas of industrial
injury and disability retirements; and
WHEREAS, the City believes that the primary reason for said
abuses is the mandate to the courts as provided in Section 3202. of the
Labor Code, that these tribunals "liberally construe" the provisions of
Division IV and Division V"i'with the purpose of extending their benefits
for the protection of persons injured in the course of their employment";
and
WHEREAS, Assemblyman Paul Bannai (Gardena) has proposed
legislation in the past, in an attempt to amend Section 3202 of the
Labor Code by substituting the words "fair and equitable" for the word
"liberally" for considerat'ion by State Legislature; and
~.~HEREAS, such proposed legislation is believed by the City of
Garden Grove to provide a significant contirbution to the effort of
eliminating costly abuses which have been and are occurring in the
areas of industrial injury and disability retirer~ents.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the
City of Tustin, California endorses legislation by the State of California
to amend Section 3202 of the Labor Code of the State of California
from "liberally construed" to "fair and equitable". This resolution
