Pacific Palisades Community Council opposes Assembly Bill 1112 and urges Assemblymember Bloom to vote against it, citing concerns that the bill would restrict local regulatory control over dockless mobility device providers and prevent cities from requiring providers to cooperate with law enforcement in injury cases. The opposition stems from a recent hit-and-run incident involving a scooter user in the Palisades where the provider refused to provide identifying information to police.
