BILL NUMBER:  AB 2468
  VETOED	DATE: 09/24/2010




To Members of the California State Assembly.

I am returning Assembly Bill 2468 without my signature.

This bill would allow a business to use the designation
"Breast-Feeding Mother Friendly Worksite" on its promotional
materials if the Labor Commissioner determines that the employer
policy meets specified criteria.  The Labor Commissioner would be
required to post "Breast-Feeding Mother Friendly Worksites" on its
website.

Existing California law establishes protections for lactating
mothers.  This bill would do nothing to augment or improve these
existing laws pertaining to a lactating mother's right to express
milk in the workplace.  Instead, the bill would create additional
responsibility for the Labor Commissioner, without any indication
that the new requirements are either warranted or necessary.

For these reasons, I am returning this bill without my signature.

Sincerely,



Arnold Schwarzenegger
