BILL NUMBER:  AB 1683
  VETOED	DATE: 09/30/2010




??














To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 1683 without my signature.

Nothing in current law prohibits county offices of education from
receiving federal funds consistent with federal law.  The
Administration does not have any evidence that county offices of
education have been denied access to federal dollars that should
appropriately be distributed to them.  Therefore, it is unclear why
the statutory change in this bill is necessary.

However, I am directing the State Board of Education to be especially
cognizant of this issue and be diligent about working with the State
Department of Education and the county offices of education to
ensure that no inadvertent omissions occur in the future.

For these reasons, I am unable to sign this bill.

Sincerely,



Arnold Schwarzenegger
