BILL NUMBER:  SB 56
  VETOED	DATE: 09/29/2010




To the Members of the California State Senate:
I am returning Senate Bill 56 without my signature.
This bill is unnecessary, as there is nothing in existing law that
prohibits a county organized health plan, local initiative or other
public entity from entering into a joint venture and seeking
licensure with the Department of Managed Health Care.  Furthermore,
this bill does not solve the underlying problem for why these
entities have been unsuccessful expanding their business in the past.
For these reasons, I cannot sign this bill.
Sincerely,

Arnold Schwarzenegger
