BILL NUMBER:  AB 2478
  VETOED	DATE: 09/30/2010




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 2478 without my signature.

I believe it is important to ensure the physical safety of all
students, but the protection provisions of this bill do not include
students in grades 9 through 12.  I am also concerned that the
provisions of this bill would likely be ineffective, limited to
situations where the person charged with interfering with the
peaceful conduct of a school would have to have the specific intent
to physically harm students rather than causing a disruption that
causes physical harm.  Since this bill is too narrowly drawn and
otherwise duplicates existing law governing the crime of making
criminal threats, I am unable to sign this measure.

Sincerely,



Arnold Schwarzenegger
