BILL NUMBER:  AB 2485
  VETOED	DATE: 09/29/2010




??













To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 2485 without my signature.

This bill would extend the sunset from July 1, 2010 to July 1, 2017
for provisions regarding actions filed in a superior court by a
common interest development association against a builder, developer,
or general contractor for design or construction defects.  This bill
also would increase the court fee for out of state attorneys
appearing in California superior courts from $250 to $500.

Although extending the sunset for the construction defect litigation
provisions may continue existing court efficiencies, this bill
unnecessarily increases the out of state attorney fee.  This fee
increase will be addressed as part of the larger trial court budget
discussion, and it is inappropriate to increase it through this
measure.

Therefore, I am unable to sign this measure.

Sincerely,


Arnold Schwarzenegger
