BILL NUMBER:  AB 2283
  VETOED	DATE: 09/25/2004




To Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 2283 without my signature.

Ensuring that persons have access to information and referral to
social services is of great importance to me.  However, it is
premature to enact legislation that requires federal funding that has
yet to be passed by Congress.

The California Public Utilities Commission has begun the process of
implementing 211 and can continue with its work in this area until
the Congressional bill is enacted.

Sincerely,



Arnold Schwarzenegger
