Speaker 0: 12 Eyes Council Resolutions 20 2-0166 and 20 2-0119 have been adopted. Madam Secretary, please put the next item on our screens. Councilmember Torres, go ahead with your comments on this 161, please.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Madam President. So early January, we passed a bill on ghost gun legislation, and along with that bill were a number of changes made to the weapons language of the code. After hearing from a constituent, I looked at a piece of concerning wording in the language changes and made and questioned the potential expansive interpretation of the language. Any item in section F. After discussion with Council, President Gilmore made the decision to make a minor change, to propose a minor amendment that we feel is pretty meaningful. It could be interpreted that any item is not used as a weapon, which is what the language should be exclusively focused on. So given its location in the code, I know when I voted in favor of the Ghost Guns Bill, I did so believing that only substantive changes were being made to pertaining to ghost guns. Revising this section to include any item goes beyond a clerical update. I initially thought about a journalist friend of mine who covered the 2020 protest who used a gas mask when the recently revised language possessing that gas mask could be criminalized because it protects him from the effect of tear gas, even if it's not used as a weapon we shouldn't allow for this potential interpretation of the code. I want to thank the City Attorney's Office for a cooperative effort to make the fix, and I hope my colleagues will vote in favor of the amendment.
Speaker 0: Thank you, counsel pro tem Torrens and happy to support this amendment this evening. We've got Councilmember CdeBaca and then Councilmember Hines.
Speaker 2: I don't have any questions. I just wanted to make sure that it was explained to the public why this was being changed. And thank the city attorney for making the change as well.
Speaker 0: Thank you. Councilmember CdeBaca. Councilmember Hines.
Speaker 7: Thank you, Councilman. President. I'd also wanted to thank Councilmember Pro-Tem Torres for this, for the catch and for the correction. I spent much of the protests actually in the streets, and most of it was in District ten. A lot of my neighbors don't have air conditioning. And so when the tear gas would would come through our community, a lot of times people would just be watching television or sleeping or whatever. And and they, too, became part of the conversation, even though unwittingly so and and so I as I spent a lot of time in the protests, I saw people with all sorts of things like gas masks or items that could have been interpreted as in in the in this ordinance without the correction. As as. Offensive. I mean, an offense not just offensive, but as a as an illegal and an and an offense to our laws. And I want to make sure that that the people who become part of this conversation unwittingly, who just happened to be living in their neighborhoods, aren't or aren't caught up with this legislation. So thank you again, pro Tem Torres for for bringing this forward. I'll be.
