BILL NUMBER:  AB 649
  ITEM VETO DATE: 09/11/2000




September 11, 2000

To Members of the California State Assembly:

On this date I have signed AB 649 with a reduction.

This bill would appropriate funding for various programs agreed to
during collective bargaining.  However, the appropriation in this
bill for the special fund deficiency is in excess of the amount
needed to fund the employee compensation increases agreed to through
collective bargaining.  Therefore, I am reducing the special fund
appropriation contained in this bill by $17,000,000 to reflect the
actual amount needed to fund the employee compensation increases.
The revised appropriation shall b e $30,600,000.

Sincerely,





GRAY DAVIS
