BILL NUMBER:  AB 1186
  VETOED	DATE: 10/12/2009




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 1186 without my signature.

This bill requires the lessor of a nonresidential building located
within a nonattainment area to itemize parking costs in all lease
agreements entered into or renewed after January 1, 2011 if the
tenants of the building are provided free parking.

I recognize that the current cash-out parking program faces many
implementation challenges and many have called for various
modifications to improve this program.  For this reason, I have
signed SB 728 (Lowenthal) which would clarify that either the
California Air Resources Board or a local air district may enforce
the existing parking cash-out law.

With respect to this bill, although well-intended, I am concerned
about placing an additional burden on commercial property owners at
this time.  It is my hope that better enforcement will shed more
light on the challenges and effectiveness of this program.

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

Sincerely,



Arnold Schwarzenegger
