BILL NUMBER:  AB 1567
  VETOED	DATE: 10/11/2009




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 1567 without my signature.

This bill would require the Employment Training Panel (ETP) to
prioritize training assistance to target populations in need of
employment training, including military veterans.  I appreciate the
service and dedication our veterans have provided to California and
strongly support providing them employment training and
opportunities.  However, ETP already supports employment training for
military veterans and its annual strategic planning process already
puts a strong focus on developing training projects and partnerships
in the veteran community.  As California continues to struggle in
these difficult economic times, this bill would reduce ETP's
flexibility to meet the changing needs of California's employers and
workers.

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

Sincerely,



Arnold Schwarzenegger
