BILL NUMBER:  AB 921
  VETOED	DATE: 10/12/2009




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 921 without my signature.

This bill would require county probation officers and parole officers
to ensure that minors under the jurisdiction of the juvenile court
be provided with written notification of services and benefits they
may be eligible for upon termination of court jurisdiction.  This
bill also would require probation officers and parole officers to
provide assistance in obtaining those services and benefits.  This
bill would create local mandated costs attributable to the
requirement that county probation officers provide specified
information and assistance to juvenile wards of the court.

Given the state's severe economic climate and the social services
reductions being implemented, it is not prudent to expand
requirements imposed on state and local governmental programs.

Therefore, I am returning this bill without my signature.

Sincerely,



Arnold Schwarzenegger
