BILL NUMBER:  AB 1561
  VETOED	DATE: 10/11/2009




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 1561 without my signature.

This bill would require the Division of Occupational Safety and
Health (DOSH) and the Occupational Safety and Health Appeals Board
(OSHAB) to prepare an annual report analyzing the outcomes of
citations, notifications of failure to abate, special orders, and
orders to take final action which have been appealed and have
resulted in a written order of decision by the OSHAB.

While I do not discount the importance of this information, much of
it is already available in current reports submitted by DOSH.  As
such, I believe it is unnecessary to codify preparation of an
additional report.  I am directly DOSH and OSHAB to work with the
Legislature to ensure that the information above is appropriately
included within existing reports.

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

Sincerely,



Arnold Schwarzenegger
