BILL NUMBER: AB 807 VETOED DATE: 10/12/2009 To the Members of the California State Assembly: I am returning Assembly Bill 807 without my signature. Existing law already provides the authority for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to open and maintain restitution centers. The closings of the previous centers were based on fiscal evaluation of the operations. This bill is an unnecessary and unwarranted interference in these operations, particularly in light of the state's fiscal crisis. Additionally, this bill may be premature as ongoing litigation and measures to address the prison population are being developed. Sincerely, Arnold Schwarzenegger
