BILL NUMBER:  AB 862
  VETOED	DATE: 10/06/2005




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 862 without my signature

This bill is unnecessary as current law provides for local and state
agencies to distribute information to incarcerated parents regarding
their child support obligations.  In fact, there are current pilot
programs operating with federal funds to accomplish what this bill
would mandate state resources be spent on.

At the state level we should be looking for ways to improve child
support collection so more funds get to the children, not investing
in ways to alleviate the future financial burdens due to
incarceration.

For this reason I am unable to sign this bill.

Sincerely,



Arnold Schwarzenegger
