	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   ACR 16, Wilk. Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputy Shayne Daniel
York Memorial Highway.
   This measure would designate a specified portion of Interstate 5
in Los Angeles County as the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputy
Shayne Daniel York Memorial Highway. The measure would also request
the Department of Transportation to determine the cost of appropriate
signs showing this special designation and, upon receiving donations
from nonstate sources covering that cost, to erect those signs.



   WHEREAS, Of all of the promises that the United States offers to
its citizens, none is more precious and elusive then the right to be
free from crime and violence; and
   WHEREAS, The men and women of law enforcement courageously
undertake the unenviable task of guaranteeing the public's safety, a
responsibility that is as difficult and dangerous as it is important;
and
   WHEREAS, Californians are indebted everyday to our peace officers
for the great sacrifices they endure, and we pay special tribute to
their bravery and dedication, and share in their pain, when one of
their members is killed in the line of duty; and
   WHEREAS, Deputy Shayne Daniel York faithfully served the Los
Angeles County Sheriff's Department as a deputy sheriff assigned to
the East Facility of the Peter J. Pitchess Detention Center; and
   WHEREAS, Deputy York is remembered as a loving son to his father,
Daniel York, mother, Patricia Steele, and stepmother, Mary York; a
thoughtful sibling to his brother, Brandon York; and a treasured
partner to his fianc�e, Jennifer Parish; and
   WHEREAS, Deputy York committed his life to his family and friends,
and his career to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and to
the safety of his fellow deputies and the residents of Los Angeles
County; and
   WHEREAS, Deputy York was loved by his family, friends, and
coworkers, and had earned a reputation as a person who cared deeply
for his partners and the public; and
   WHEREAS, On August 14, 1997, Deputy York and his fianc�e were at a
Buena Park beauty salon when two armed men entered and attempted to
rob the business and its patrons. Deputy York, his fianc�e, and the
other patrons of the salon were ordered to lie face-down on the
floor. When one of the men identified Deputy York as a law
enforcement officer, he shot Deputy York in the back of the head.
Deputy York died two days later, on August 16, 1997, at just 26 years
of age; and
   WHEREAS, In recognition of Deputy York's contributions,
commitment, and sacrifice during his two years as a law enforcement
officer in serving and protecting the residents of Los Angeles
County, it is a fitting tribute to designate a portion of Interstate
5 in Los Angeles County as the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputy
Shayne Daniel York Memorial Highway; now, therefore, be it
   Resolved by the Assembly of the State of California, the Senate
thereof concurring, That the Legislature hereby designates the
portion of Interstate 5 between Newhall Ranch Road and Hasley Canyon
Road in Los Angeles County as the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputy
Shayne Daniel York Memorial Highway; and be it further
   Resolved, That the Department of Transportation is requested to
determine the cost of appropriate signs consistent with the signing
requirements for the state highway system showing this special
designation and, upon receiving donations from nonstate sources
sufficient to cover the cost, to erect those signs; and be it further

   Resolved, That the Chief Clerk of the Assembly transmit copies of
this resolution to the Director of Transportation and to the author
for appropriate distribution.
