BILL NUMBER:  AB 114
  VETOED	DATE: 09/25/2010




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 114 without my signature.

This bill would authorize a county to adopt a restorative justice
program that would be implemented through a juvenile court in
conjunction with the district attorney's office, public defender,
restorative justice groups, and other interested groups.  California'
s juvenile justice system is already rehabilitation-based, focused on
attempts to reform juveniles rather than punish.  In addition,
juvenile courts may already create restorative justice programs.
Consequently, this bill is unnecessary.

For these reasons, I am unable to sign this bill.

Sincerely,



Arnold Schwarzenegger
