BILL NUMBER: AB 2410
VETOED DATE: 09/25/2010
To the Members of the California State Assembly:
I am returning Assembly Bill 2410 without my signature.
This measure would amend current law that encourages agencies to
develop written policies concerning how children are handled at crime
scenes involving the manufacturing, trafficking, and use of
narcotics to also include hallucinogens. This measure is
unnecessary. Agencies are not limited in how they handle these
situations by current law and the term "narcotics" is not overly
restrictive. Law enforcement and social services agencies can
already determine whether there is an immediate threat that requires
the removal of a child from a drug crime scene without this
legislation.
For these reasons, I am unable to sign this bill.
Sincerely,
Arnold Schwarzenegger
