BILL NUMBER:  AB 1997
  VETOED	DATE: 09/29/2010




??













To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 1997 without my signature.

This bill is unnecessary.  Nothing under current law prohibits the
California Community College Chancellor's Office from working with
local community colleges to meet the objectives of this bill.
Furthermore, the annual budget act was augmented several years ago to
provide the community colleges an additional $34.2 million for
financial aid outreach efforts that were expected to assist students
with maximizing federal and state financial aid.

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

Sincerely,



Arnold Schwarzenegger
