BILL NUMBER:  AB 2032
  VETOED	DATE: 09/30/2010




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 2032 without my signature.

This bill would require that an application fee be submitted at the
time a minor applies for a child labor entertainment work permit.
The fee would be deposited into the Entertainment Work Permit Fund,
which would be created by the bill.  Money in the fund would be
subject to appropriation by the Legislature to the Labor Commissioner
for costs in issuing the permit, enforcing entertainment work permit
requirements, developing and enhancing a website with informational
materials, and training studio teachers.

This bill is essentially the same as AB?402 (Davis, 2009), which I
also vetoed.  Oversight of California-certificated teachers and the
issuance of entertainment permits for mostly school-aged children are
functions that reasonably fall within the oversight of the
Department of Education, and not the Department of Industrial
Relations.  As I have stressed throughout my Administration,
government must operate more efficiently within existing resources.
This bill does not advance that goal.

For these reasons, I am returning this bill without my signature.

Sincerely,



Arnold Schwarzenegger
