BILL NUMBER: AB 1006
VETOED DATE: 10/12/2009
To the Members of the California State Assembly:
I am returning Assembly Bill 1006 without my signature.
This bill requires the state to consider the residential location of
the workforce to be housed in the building, giving a priority to
areas that can demonstrate the highest reduction of miles traveled by
its workforce. This bill is unnecessary, as the Department of
General Services already considers a number of factors when
considering where to locate a building. Further, I believe the
highest priority for locating state buildings is, and should remain,
the ability to provide services to the citizens of California.
For these reasons I am unable to sign this bill.
Sincerely,
Arnold Schwarzenegger
