BILL NUMBER:  SB 1431
  VETOED	DATE: 09/29/2010




To the Members of the California State Senate:
I am returning Senate Bill 1431 without my signature.
Given the state of the economy, the low participation rate in the
current program and the new federal maintenance of effort
requirements for the Healthy Families program, expanding eligibility
for this local program is not necessary.  In addition, the practical
impacts of this bill will be short-lived, given that families with
eligible children will have the opportunity to purchase subsidized
insurance through the health insurance exchange in 2014.
For these reasons, I do not believe it is necessary to sign this bill
at this time.
Sincerely,

Arnold Schwarzenegger
