BILL NUMBER:  AB 226
  VETOED	DATE: 09/30/2010




??














To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill (AB) 226 without my signature.

This bill includes provisions intended to address issues resulting
from changes to law proposed by AB 1987 (Ma).  Since I am vetoing AB
1987, those provisions in this bill are not necessary.

The other provision in this bill permits Sacramento County to
immediately implement a lower retirement tier for newly hired safety
employees, for specified bargaining groups.  I encourage Sacramento
County to reach responsible agreements with their employees, and seek
new legislation to implement that component of the deal.

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

Sincerely,



Arnold Schwarzenegger
