BILL NUMBER: AB 2326 VETOED DATE: 09/29/2010 To the Members of the California State Assembly: I am returning Assembly Bill 2326 without my signature. This bill would impose new requirements upon the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) and the Reentry Advisory Committee (RAC), including a requirement to seek and apply for federal funds, develop a comprehensive reentry plan, submit various advisory reports to the Legislature and Governor upon request, and would also increase the number of individuals on the committee. AB 2326 also extends the sunset date of the RAC from January 1, 2011, to January 1, 2016. This bill imposes several new duties upon the CDCR and the RAC without providing any new sustainable funding to pay for them. I cannot sign a bill that creates such unfunded mandates for the State of California during this time of fiscal crisis. For these reasons, I am unable to sign this bill. Sincerely, Arnold Schwarzenegger
