BILL NUMBER:  AB 933
  VETOED	DATE: 09/23/2010

To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 933 without my signature.

This bill would require a physician conducting utilization review in
the workers' compensation system to be licensed in California. Such a
requirement would be inconsistent with how utilization review is
conducted in other areas of medicine and not in line with best
practices nationwide. The proponents of this measure have not
demonstrated a need for this disparity in treatment.

For this reason, I am returning this bill without my signature.

Sincerely,


Arnold Schwarzenegger
