BILL NUMBER: AB 82 VETOED DATE: 10/11/2009 To the Members of the California State Assembly: I am returning Assembly Bill 82 without my signature. While this bill advances an appropriate policy objective that I would normally be inclined to support, I cannot in this current fiscal environment. The implementation and oversight of a new pilot program, requiring increased monitoring and evaluation is labor-intensive, especially as both state and county welfare programs are struggling with their existing mandated activities. For this reason, I am unable to sign this bill. Sincerely, Arnold Schwarzenegger
