BILL NUMBER:  AB 369
  VETOED	DATE: 10/11/2009




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 369 without my signature.

This measure is premature and would add new General Fund costs to the
Medi-Cal program when significant reductions are currently being
implemented.  Furthermore, the new facilities are still under
construction and not scheduled to provide services until at least
July 2011.

I encourage the author to examine ways to provide these services in
the most cost-effective manner and propose them through the annual
budget process.

Sincerely,



Arnold Schwarzenegger
