BILL NUMBER:  AB 599
  VETOED	DATE: 10/12/2009




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 599 without my signature.

This bill is a premature delegation of regulatory oversight from a
state department to a private entity.    If there is a more efficient
manner to provide oversight for forensic alcohol laboratories, I
encourage the stakeholders to work with the Department of Public
Health on a solution that does not eliminate important state
functions.

For this reason, I am unable to sign this bill.

Sincerely,



Arnold Schwarzenegger
