BILL NUMBER: AB 25 VETOED DATE: 09/25/2010 To the Members of the California State Assembly: I am returning Assembly Bill 25 without my signature. This bill allows a hazardous waste transporter, under certain circumstances, to receive one shipment of used oil from a generator whose identification number has been suspended. The Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) already allows a conditional reactivation of a suspended identification number for 30 days for generators and transporters. Given this existing process, this bill would simply create additional bureaucracy and reporting requirements for a subset of transporters and generators and do nothing to reduce the number of suspended identification numbers or streamline the reactivation process. Instead, I am directing DTSC to evaluate its current system, identify inefficiencies and implement changes, where appropriate, to ensure the safe and legal collection and transportation of hazardous waste. Sincerely, Arnold Schwarzenegger
