BILL NUMBER:  AB 1679
  VETOED	DATE: 09/29/2010




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 1679 without my signature.

This bill establishes the second full week in April, beginning in
2011, as California Public Safety Telecommunicators Week and would
require the Governor and Legislature to issue annual proclamations.
While public safety dispatchers and other public safety
telecommunications workers are essential to the work of first
responders, this measure is unnecessary because the Legislature and
Governor can issue such proclamations without having to place such
mandates in statute.  In addition, this measure duplicates the
recognition provided by congressional recognition of National Public
Safety Telecommunicator Week.

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

Sincerely,



Arnold Schwarzenegger
