BILL NUMBER:  AB 1900
  VETOED	DATE: 09/25/2010




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 1900 without my signature.

This bill would prohibit the shackling of pregnant inmates and wards
during transport to and from correctional facilities except when
other less restrictive restraints are deemed necessary.
Additionally, this bill would require the Corrections Standards
Authority (CSA) to develop guidelines concerning the shackling of
pregnant inmates and wards during transport.  However, CSA's mission
is to regulate and develop standards for correctional facilities, not
establish policies on transportation issues to and from other
locations.

Since this bill goes beyond the scope of CSA's mission, I am unable
to sign this bill.

Sincerely,



Arnold Schwarzenegger
