BILL NUMBER:  AB 2682
  VETOED	DATE: 09/28/2010




??














To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 2682 without my signature.

I respect the author's intent to reduce costs and create efficiencies
for students and community colleges.  However, I have concerns that
this bill creates a duplication of the efforts that resulted from the
expansion of the existing Early Assessment Program (EAP), which
evaluates the college-readiness of high school students.  I signed
into law in 2008 the bill that expanded the use of the EAP operated
by the California State Universities, to include community colleges.
Therefore, it is unclear why this bill is necessary.

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

Sincerely,



Arnold Schwarzenegger
