Signed or Vetoed Bills 10/12/2009

 

AB 3

(V. Manuel Perez)  Workforce development: Renewable Energy Workforce Readiness Initiative: local workforce investment boards.

 

Current Text: Vetoed: 10/11/2009   pdf   html

 

Last Amend: 9/4/2009

 

Status: 10/11/2009-Vetoed by the Governor

 

Governor's Message:  I am returning Assembly Bill 3 without my signature. I fully support the intent of Assembly Bill 3 to train low-income workers, people adversely impacted by the recent historic recession, and disadvantaged members of our population for good paying occupations in the California emerging green economy. My Administration is currently working with the California Workforce Investment Board and its Green Collar Jobs Council (Council) toward these ends. At my direction, the Council's membership includes key stakeholders from education, labor, state agencies, private industry, economic development and philanthropic entities. I believe it is unnecessary to legislatively establish additional mandates on existing efforts to accomplish these objectives. Sincerely, Arnold Schwarzenegger

AB 332

(Fuentes)  Work-based learning.

 

Current Text: Vetoed: 8/6/2009   pdf   html

 

Status: 8/6/2009-Consideration of Governor's veto pending. VETOED

 

Governor's Message:  I am returning Assembly Bill 332 without my signature. While I am very supportive of the intent of this bill of providing students with opportunities to receive rigorous and relevant career technical education linked to real world experiences, I am concerned that this bill lacks sufficient protections to ensure that students are not solely enrolled in job opportunities that are not combined with sufficient academic coursework. However, I am directing my Administration to work with the author so that I can consider a measure that is more tightly crafted and would accomplish the goal of promoting a balanced approach towards work-based learning. Until that time, I am unable to sign this bill. Sincerely, Arnold Schwarzenegger

AB 1394

(Bass)  California Workforce Investment Board: Green Collar Jobs Council.

 

Current Text: Vetoed: 10/11/2009   pdf   html

 

Last Amend: 7/14/2009

 

Status: 10/11/2009-Vetoed by the Governor

 

Governor's Message: To the Members of the California State Assembly: I am returning Assembly Bill 1394 without my signature. This bill would add a representative of the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) to the Green Collar Jobs Council (GCJC). The bill also would create the Green Collar Jobs Account in the State Treasury and would authorize the California Workforce Investment Board (CWIB) to accept any revenues, moneys, grants, goods or services from federal or state governmental entities, philanthropic organizations, and other sources. This bill is unnecessary. The Employment Development Department currently administers all funding for grants and workforce initiatives with Workforce Investment Act funds. Further, it is inappropriate to include the DIR as a member of the GCJC as they are not currently a member of the CWIB. The GCJC already has the authority to consult with DIR as needed. For these reasons, I am returning this bill without my signature. Sincerely, Arnold Schwarzenegger

 

 

AB 1559

(Committee on Labor and Employment)  Workforce development: summer youth job training.

 

Current Text: Vetoed: 10/11/2009   pdf   html

 

Last Amend: 9/2/2009

 

Status: 10/11/2009-Vetoed by the Governor

 

Governor's Message:  I am returning Assembly Bill 1559 without my signature. This bill requires the California Workforce Investment Board, in collaboration with local workforce investment boards, to establish a California Youth at Work Program, for the purpose of providing summer job training and work experience opportunities for youth in the state. While I support such an effort, this bill is unnecessary and could prove burdensome if it conflicts with the summer youth work programs the local workforce development boards are already in the process of developing. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act provided funding specifically for a summer youth work program, which has already been distributed to the locals, and established specific criteria for the program. To the extent that this bill imposes additional requirements on the local workforce investment boards, it could hamper, rather than aid, in the development of effective programs. For this reason, I am returning this bill without my signature. Sincerely, Arnold Schwarzenegger
