BILL NUMBER:  AB 602
  VETOED	DATE: 09/30/2010




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 602 without my signature.

Local governments face numerous potential legal liabilities when land
is developed.  One of the protections and assurances provided to
local governments in order to encourage them to move forward with
land development is that there is a reasonable statute of limitations
on when a legal claim can be filed.  Existing law gives interested
parties sufficient time to bring an action, and extending this period
to five years could result in uncertainty for local governments.

For this reason I cannot sign this bill.

Sincerely,



Arnold Schwarzenegger
