BILL NUMBER:  AB 443
  VETOED	DATE: 10/11/2009




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 443 without my signature.

This legislation is unnecessary.  Nothing in current law precludes
the Department of Food and Agriculture from consulting with an
industry regarding pest and disease issues or establishing
appropriate science advisory panels.

For this reason I am unable to sign this bill.

Sincerely,



Arnold Schwarzenegger
