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.
