BILL NUMBER:  SB 1253
  VETOED	DATE: 10/09/1999




October 9, 1999

To the Members of the Senate:

I am returning Senate Bill 1253 without my signature.

This bill would require the California Energy Resources Conservation
and Development Commission  (CEC), in consultation with other state
agencies, to update the inventory of greenhouse gas emissions every
five years and develop various information on global climate change.


This bill is unnecessary.  The CEC has already developed and updated
an inventory of the sources of greenhouse emissions within the state.
  It is unclear what new and different information would  be revealed
under this bill that has not been compiled or discovered thus far.
In fact, California is already well below the national average for
generating greenhouse gas on a per capita basis according to the CEC.


Sincerely,







GRAY DAVIS
