(to be provided) Councilman Bullock stated that the committee discussed Ordinance 05-19 and Ordinance 06- 19. Following discussion regarding Ordinance 06-19, the committee recommended its substitute version for adoption. The substitute legislation would bring Lakewood's laws into compliance with a court ruling that prohibits cities from regulating the ownership,possession, and transfer of stun guns, as they were ruled to be a part of 2nd Amendment rights. The legislation would also incorporate stun guns into the sections of Lakewood's code that concern the use of weapons. Ordinance 05-19 is still in committee and Councilman Bullock is hopeful that it will be reported out on July 15th for full consideration by Council. This ordinance would further regulate the use of mobile electronic devices while driving. It is designed to strengthen the ability of the police to enforce public safety regarding mobile phone use while driving. Motion by Councilman Bullock, seconded by President O'Leary to receive and file the report. All members voted in favor. Motion passed.
