BILL NUMBER:  AB 845
  VETOED	DATE: 10/12/2009




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 845 without my signature.

This bill would impose new requirements upon the Reentry Advisory
Committee (RAC), including a requirement that the RAC seek and apply
for federal funds, develop a comprehensive reentry plan, submit
various advisory reports to the Legislature and Governor, and would
also increase the number of individuals on the Committee.  In
addition, the RAC would be required to develop a comprehensive
resource guide for use by various entities and the public.  AB 845
also extends the sunset date of the RAC from
January 1, 2011 to January 1, 2016.

This bill imposes several new duties upon the RAC without providing
any new funding to pay for them.  I cannot sign a bill that creates
such unfunded mandates for the State of California during this time
of fiscal crisis.

For these reasons, I am returning this bill without my signature.

Sincerely,



Arnold Schwarzenegger
