BILL NUMBER:  SB 878
  VETOED	DATE: 07/15/2010




To the Members of the California State Senate:

I am returning Senate Bill 878 without my signature.

This bill would authorize the Los Angeles County Recorder to notify
the affected party or parties, including the occupants of a property,
when a notice of default or notice of sale has been recorded.

While the goals of SB 878 are laudable, the bill is unnecessary as
foreclosure statutes require that notices of default and notices of
sale be mailed to the owner of the property.  Moreover, notices of
sale, in addition to being mailed to the property owner, must also be
posted on the property, providing notice to both the occupant and
owner of a pending foreclosure action, effectively making SB 878
redundant.

For this reason I am unable to sign this bill.

Sincerely,



Arnold Schwarzenegger
