BILL NUMBER:  AB 2193
  VETOED	DATE: 09/29/2010




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 2193 without my signature.

This measure would extend the gambling moratorium related to the
expansion of cardrooms and the issuance of new State cardroom
licenses through 2020.  There is no compelling rationale for
extending the gambling moratorium at this time, as a similar
extension was approved just four years ago.  The gambling moratorium
under existing law does not expire until 2015, which gives the
Legislature ample time to evaluate whether the existing moratorium
should be extended.


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



Sincerely,



Arnold Schwarzenegger
