BILL NUMBER:  AB 730
  VETOED	DATE: 10/12/2009




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 730 without my signature.

This bill attempts to align enforcement provisions between the
Department of Managed Health Care and the California Department of
Insurance.  However, it does not create this much-needed consistency,
but instead continues to subject regulated entities to differing
standards.

In addition, while I believe the Managed Risk Medical Insurance
Program to be a possible and appropriate location for some of the
penalties associated with these fines, I cannot support provisions
that further limit revenue to the General Fund and decrease the state'
s ability to direct resources to its highest priorities.

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

Sincerely,



Arnold Schwarzenegger
