BILL NUMBER:  AB 1060
  VETOED	DATE: 09/30/2010




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 1060 without my signature.

There is no legitimate evidence to suggest that self-service grocery
checkout stands are contributing to the theft of alcoholic beverages
and sale to minors or intoxicated persons.  Retailers have several
strong reasons to prevent the theft or sale of alcohol to minors,
including the fact that alcohol is an expensive product to be stolen
and a grocer's alcohol sales license could be placed in jeopardy.
Thus, it is unclear what problem this bill seeks to address.

For this reason, I am unable to sign this bill.

Sincerely,



Arnold Schwarzenegger
