BILL NUMBER:  SB 1269
  VETOED	DATE: 09/29/2010




To the Members of the California State Senate:

I am returning Senate Bill 1269 without my signature.

This bill would require the California Department of Public Health
and California Department of Food and Agriculture to advertise on
their respective Internet Websites existing liability protections and
potential tax benefits associated with food donations. This bill is
unnecessary since the information it wishes to promote is already
available on the Internet and through the non-profit organizations
that receive donated foods.

Consequently, I am unable to sign this bill.

Sincerely,



Arnold Schwarzenegger
