Legislature urged to fix ambiguity

Don't miss today's Concurring Statement by Justice Groban here  

  • uncertainty surrounding the current statutory scheme jeopardizes the safety of those in need of ocean rescue, as well as the safety of first responders who often risk their own lives to save them.
  • It will be of little comfort to the next swimmer or surfer in peril to learn that the most effective means of saving him or her is unavailable due to a latent ambiguity in the Harbors and Navigation Code. I urge the Legislature to address this ambiguity forthwith.
