BILL NUMBER:  AB 1956
  VETOED	DATE: 09/30/2010




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 1956 without my signature.

This bill exempts a non-profit organization that enters into a
memorandum of understanding with the Department of Fish and Game
(DFG) to provide food for free ranging California condors from the
general prohibition of transporting dead animals.

This bill is unnecessary.   DFG and our federal partner, the United
States Fish and Wildlife Service are actively engaged in conservation
efforts including providing supplemental food as needed within
existing law.

For this reason, I am unable to sign this bill.

Sincerely,



Arnold Schwarzenegger
