REASON FOR DELETION: "I am deleting the $1,400,000 appropriation con-
tained in Section 5 of Senate Bill No. 457.
"Sufficient funds are already included in the Budget
Act of 1974 to fund licensing operations currently
budgeted as fee supported.

Governor Ronald Reagan today announced the following bills have
been vetoed.
AB 1128 - Dixon Modifies provisions of the Elections Code and Penal Code
relating to the right to vote of persons convicted of
crimes.
REASON FOR VETO: "This bill would modify provisions of the Elections Code
and Penal Code relating to the right to vote of persons
convicted of crimes. It will become operative if
Assembly Constitutional Amendment No. 38 is approved
by the voters. Among other things, it would amend
Sections 310 and 321 of the Elections Code. Approval of
this bill would chapter out the substantive changes made
to those sections by AB 765 (Statutes of 1974, Chapter
74). Furthermore, Section 15 of this bill expresses
legislative intent that both AB 1128 and ACA 38 conform
to the decision of the California Supreme Court in
Ramirez V. Brown. That decision was reversed and
remanded by the United States Supreme Court in
Richardson V. Ramirez.
"Because of these two major defects, I am returning the
bill unsigned.
AB
2860
Antonovich
Permits state and local miscellaneous members of
the Public Employees Retirement System to retire
for service at age 50 with 5 years service. It also
prescribes the computation of the allowance between
ages 50 and 54-3/4.
REASON FOR VETO: "As stated in Section 20001 of the Government Code, the
purpose of the Public Employees' Retirement System is
to effect economy and efficiency in the public service
by providing a means whereby employees who become super-
annuated or otherwise incapacitated may, without hardship
or prejudice, be replaced by more capable employees
Assembly Bill 2860 would arbitrarily change this purpose
by establishing age 50 as a permissive retirement age.
The effect of this change would be to deprive both state
and local agencies of many highly trained, capable and
productive employees who, at near mid-career, could leave
service. The loss of such valuable employees could
indeed affect both the efficiency and the economy of
government operations---but in a negative way. I believe
the current provisions of law are sound public policy.
To tamper with the present law and to alter the basic
purpose of our retirement system in order to satisfy one
relatively small group of employees can in no way be
justified.
"Accordingly, I am returning this bill unsigned."
AB 3167 Keysor Permits a single school district with average daily
attendance greater than 50,000 located in Orange County
to establish a regional occupational center or program.
Currently, Los Angeles, Long Beach, and San Diego are
permitted to run single-district regional occupational
centers or programs.
REASON FOR VETO: "I believe the long-term impact of lowering the require-
ment below the 100, ADA level will dilute the
effectiveness of this type of vocational program. The
educational and financial efficiency of regional
occupational programs is dependent upon judicious use of
the business and industrial resources in any given area
and the careful administration of instructional programs designed to avoid
duplication. This cannot be achieved if the multi-district basis of
operation is discarded. In addition, I have received letters from the
Superintendents of Schools of Glenn, Los Angeles, Orange, Plumas,
Sacramento, San Diego, and Sonoma Counties urging my veto of this
legislation.

Governor Ronald Reagan today vetoed Senate Bill 71 (Gregorio,
D-San Mateo) Following is the text of the governor's veto message
to the legislature:
"SB 71 would allow local schools to establish special areas or
rooms where students would be permitted to smoke. The bill was
intended to correct the present situation in which students smoke in
school restrooms, creating a problem for nonsmoking students wishing
to make use of those facilities.
"With only an occasional exception, high school students as an
age group are prohibited by law from purchasing tobacco. It therefore
seems that a far more sensible answer to solving the problem would be
for school administrators to enforce a 'no smoking' rule on school
property--period.
"The intent of the law against purchase of tobacco by anyone
under age 18 is obvious. The responsibility of school officials to
prevent smoking in school buildings is equally obvious. Their
failure to act accordingly should not result in local property
taxpayers subsidizing smoking rooms as an educational expense.
"I have discussed this bill with a large number of high school
students. Although most of them were nonsmokers, they supported the
measure for a variety of reasons.
"I am sympathetic to their reasoning and had to wrestle with my
conscience before reaching the decision to veto the bill.
"However, I feel it would be a disservice to our young people to
have allowed this measure to become law. Had I done so, some
youngsters would have interpreted my action as giving some degree of
approval to their smoking.
"There is no question that young people who want to smoke will
smoke. But there is also no question that smoking is a dangerous
habit that can produce tragic results. I cannot in good conscience
lend my hand to any circumstance that might endanger their health.
"Therefore, I am returning the bill without my signature."

Governor Ronald Reagan today announced that he has signed the
following bill:
AB 3101 - Fenton Allows franchised petroleum dealers, notwithstanding
Chapter 498
the provisions of the franchise, to purchase petroleum
products from any available source if the franchisor
is unable to refuses to supply the dealer. The bill
also provides that no franchisor shall coerce the
franchisee to deal only in tires, batteries, and
accessories supplied by the franchisor.
Governor Reagan also vetoed the following bills:
AB 1691 - Duffy
Enacts Duffy-Song-Moscone Acupuncture Act which
authorizes the practice of acupuncture, alone or in
conjunction with other forms of traditional Chinese
medicine, by unlicensed persons for the primary purpose
of scientific investigation if such procedures are
performed on the basis of the diagnosis and written
referral of licensed dentist or physician and surgeon
and other specific conditions are satisfied. The bill
prchibits any licensed dentist or physician and
surgeon from sharing in any fee charged by a person for
performing acupuncture. Such authorization shall be
operative only until December 31, 1977.
REASON FOR VETO:
"This bill would permit unlicensed and unregulated
persons, regardless of training, to perform acupuncture
upon the written referral of a doctor or dentist. It
does not contain any controls or qualifications to
insure the quality of the acupuncture practitioner,
therefore creating an unnecessary risk to the members
of the public who might receive such treatment.
"Present law now permits safe and orderly research in
the field of acupuncture in approved medical schools.
If it is the desire to expand existing programs beyond
medical schools, then standards to insure quality of
acupuncturists must be developed. In addition, research
procedures should be outlined in any such legislation
so that valid data can be compiled and made available
to the medical community.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."
AB 2911 - Burton
Requires that rates of state payments for services
purchased by regional centers for devel opmentally
disabled persons established by the Director of Health
be sufficient to reimburse providers of such services
for the actual cost, as approved by the Department of
Health, of such services. Additionally, it requires
the department, after consulting with appropriate
provider groups, to adopt regulations defining
actual cost and the method of accounting to be used
to determine actual costs. The bill also requires
regional centers to supplement, from funds allocated
for the purchase of services, Medi-Cal or public
assistance payments when the person receiving services
is eligible for such and the payments are insufficient
to reimburse providers of services at the established
rates of payment.
REASON FOR VETO:
"AB 2911's requirement for reimbursement for actual
costs encourage inefficient operation. Verification of
actual costs is difficult and expensive. Also, the
department would have no control over the number and
types of personnel providing services to its clientele.
"Reimbursement to facilities providing care to other
types of state clients is on a reasonable cost basis.
This legislation also could contribute toward the
inflationary spiral of health costs since other
facilities would demand that they be reimbursed on
the same basis. (cont.)
-1-
#401
Reason for veto
"The Department of Health is currently conducting on
of AB 2911 cont.
a pilot basis a treatment effectiveness and cost study
of five California facilities servicing the develop-
mentally disabled.
"During this study the facilities involved are
receiving additional payments in order to cover the
cost of individualized programs. This study will be
completed shortly. If the study demonstrates that a
reasonable increase in rates produces better
individualized programs for the developmentally
disabled, the department will then administratively
revise the rates for the facilities affected by this
bill. Therefore, this bill is not necessary.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."
SB 220 -Zenovich
Provides for allocation of state funds to county
volunteer search and rescue units to defray the
cost of search and rescue operations. The bill
appropriates $200,000 to the Office of Emergency
Services for the provisions of the bill.
REASON FOR VETO:
"Search and rescue operations are properly a function
of local government. Present law provides a measure
of relief to counties conducting search and rescue
operations when the cost is over $100.
"Furthermore, the state and federal governments
participate in many search and rescue operations.
The state, through the Ecology Corps program, maintains
a fully-trained and well-equipped mountain rescue
team that is available to all local authorities in
California.
"I fully appreciate the humanitarian efforts made by
the many volunteer organizations that participate in
search and rescue operations. However, I still feel
that it is not appropriate for state taxpayers to
provide subventions for such volunteer activities.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."
SB 1315 - Petris
Appropriates $1, 957, 508 to Regents of the University
of California for purpose of funding increases to
salaries and fringe benefits of certain employees
and retirees. Effective immediately.
REASON FOR VETO:
"SB 1315 attempts to reinstate proposals that were
rejected during the 1974-75 budget process. The budget
is the proper vehicle for this type of measure.
"Accordingly, I am returning this bill unsigned."
Governor Ronald Reagan today made the following statement
pertaining to AB 774 by Mike D. Antonovich (R-Los Angeles). The bill
allows constitutional amendments adopted by the legislature since
no earlier than June 9, 1974, and no later than June 28, 1974, to be
placed on the ballot for the November 5, 1974 general election:
"I am permitting this measure to become law without my signature
because the people of California should have the opportunity to vote
on the several constitutional amendments covered by the bill. However,
my signature on the bill might be interpreted as support of the ballot
propositions. That would be inaccurate."
The constitutional amendments covered by AB 774 are:
SCA 26 - Petris
Requires the legislature to provide increased benefits
to qualified renters comparable to any increase in the
homeowners' exemption provided for by the legislature.
(cont.)

Rt ises ex officio membership Jf the U. C. Regents by

increases appointive membership from 16 to 18 and
reduces the term of office of appointive members from
16 years to 12 years for members to be appointed on
and after March 1, 1976.
ACA 36 - Keene
Modifies constitutional provisions relating to the
Public Utilities Commission.
ACA 38 - Dixon
Deletes provisions requiring forfeiture of right to
vote for conviction of certain crimes. It also deletes
the provision excluding severely mentally deficient an
insane persons from right to vote, and adds provision

incompetent or while imprisoned or on parole for
conviction of a felony.
ACA 40 - Brown

construction, or acquisition of low-rent public
housing by a local government be approved by a vote
of the people.
ACA 60 - Meade

ACA 104 - Deddeh

into more than one municipal or justice court because
of geographic conditions, if the legislature so

ACA 85 - Vasconcellos
Requires legislature to determine whether

Governor Reagan has also vetoed the following bill:
SB

-
Gregorio
Requires attendance at community colleges in specified
in-service training criminal justice system occupa-
tion programs to be included in community college district average daily
attendance computation. Also validates specified past apportionments
for such in-service training programs.
REASON FOR VETO:
"This bill attempts to clarify and validate possible
illegal financial support to community colleges for
providing in-service training to local peace officers. An audit earlier
this year by the Department of Finance revealed that a community college
received over $200,000 for conducting one 40-hour class. The audit
questioned the legality of such a practice. Almost all community colleges
have conducted in-service peace officer training classes, along with
similar classes, and may have violated sections of the Education Code
relating to eligibility for funding. This administration is in complete
agreement with upgrading peace officer standards and training through
education. Shortly before the bill's approval in the legislature, the
administration, the author and the measure's supporters reached agreement
on amendments that would initiate a proper method for calculating funding
for peace officer training classes. However, because of a lack of time
the bill was approved before the amendments could be included. When the
legislature reconvenes in August, this administration will support
legislation to permit community colleges to continue in-service peace
officer training while not absolving any blatant irregularities in
conducting such a program. Therefore, I am returning the bill unsigned."

Governor Ronald Reagan today sent the following letter to the
members of the U.S. Senate and informed President Nixon of his
opposition to Senate Bill 707, which would establish a new bureaucracy
that would overlap and duplicate existing consumer protection agencies.
The governor also commended Senators Sam Ervin, Carl Curtis,
James L. Buckley, William E. Brock and James Allen for their nonpartisan
efforts to defeat the bill:
Text of the letter follows:
"If passed, Senate Bill 707, the Consumer Protection Agency Act,
now before the Senate, would spawn a huge new bureaucracy whose sole
duty would be to intrude itself into matters already assigned by law
to existing departments and agencies.
"Proponents of the bill are no doubt motivated by high ideals.
Yet, in the process of attempting to protect the consumer, their bill
would give unprecedented and potentially dangerous power to the new
agency's director and staff to take action against government bodies,
industry, and business. Such concentration of police powers would be
open to future abuse.
"In recent years, American consumers have demonstrated increased
sophistication in the marketplace. Expanded consumer education continues
to be essential for this process. Private consumer groups and several
state and local consumer agencies are proving that they can aggressively
and effectively clamp down on those who would fleece and deceive
consumers.
"Congress has the authority to change policies governing the
practices of federal departments and agencies which have jurisdiction
over consumer-related matters. Where defects exist, they should be
corrected by statute. It would be irresponsible, however, for Congress
to fail to make such corrections and to create instead a competing,
overlapping new agency and bureaucracy. An analogy: if a man operating
a retail store found the performance of one of its departments
unsatisfactory, he would consider changing management policies, personnel,
merchandising techniques, or inventory. He certainly wouldn't try to
solve the problem by opening a competing store across the street. Yet,
that is what the proponents of S. 707 are doing by asking Congress to
create the Consumer Protection Agency!
"Consumers--and each of us in America is one--need to regain
control of their own lives. At the same time, they need less, not
more, government paternalism and dictation. S. 707 is bad law, bad
public policy, and bad for consumers. I urge you to vote to defeat
it."

Governor Ronald Reagan today announced he will ask Attorney
General Evelle Younger to agree with the lawsuit filed in Superior
Court nullifying a special election in the 20th Assembly District in
San Francisco.
The governor took the action because of requests by the
San Francisco Board of Supervisors and the city's state legislators.
Governor Reagan was mandated by state law and the California
Constitution to call a special election to fill the unexpired term of
former Assemblyman John Burton. Burton resigned June 25 after winning
election to the U.S. House of Representatives.
The governor called the election for November 5 with the primary
set for October 8.
The 20th Assembly District will cease to exist on December 1 of
this year because of reapportionment.
"I am happy to agree with the San Francisco Board of Supervisors
and the city's legislators that the special election is unnecessary,"
the governor said. "It would have been a waste of time, effort and
taxpayer funds.
"In addition, I look forward to working with the legislature in
August to correct this problem in existing law so that a similar
situation cannot occur in the future."
The winner of the election would have served only three weeks
during a period when the legislature was not in session.

Governor Ronald Reagan said today a breakthrough in crime control
and prevention has been reached by virtue of the state receiving a patent
for an invisible wall of energy called a "laser fence. =
The fence transmits and receives pulsed beams of light to prevent
introders. According to Douglas E. Roudabush, executive director of the
California Crime Technological Research Foundation (CCTRF), which built
the first unit in a Sacramento laboratory, the device has application both
to
state
government for security in its prisons, resource areas, fish
and game and forestry preserves and to private industry for protection
of property.
As holder of a U.S. patent, the governor said, the state can issue
licenses to prospective manufacturers and reimburse California's treasury
for money expended in the acquisition of the patent.
Roudabush stresses that any patents received by the foundation will
not be intended as direct sources of revenue to the state, but are
intended for use in controlling crime and fulfilling the premise under
which CCTRF was established as a temporary research agency in 1967 by the
Deukmejian-Moretti Act.
Public and private funds were donated for CCTRF to perform research
and development in areas of science and technology not already being
explored by other agencies or private industry. Another purpose of the
foundation was to stimulate development by educational institutions and
other organizations in the private sector.
CCTRF's life was extended for four years by the legislature in 1970.
A current bill, SB 1829 (Deukmejian), would make the crime research
foundation permanent. California is the only state with a research agency
to control crime.
The laser fence was tested and became a successful tool of security
for Campbell Construction Company's "Operation Breakthrough" several
months ago. The prototype detected and prevented break-ins in more than
100 separate incidents on a construction site at the old fairgrounds in
Sacramento. Experimental research and development continues in the state
corrections system.

Roudabush says the wall of energy's nerve system is a solid-state
unit involving little commercial power. Boasting a range of one-half mile
in any direction from a unit, two laser beams at varying heights can
penetrate fog for hundreds of feet and, in the event of someone passing
through, has a logic built-in to discriminate between humans, objects
such as blowing newspapers or creatures such as birds or dogs.
"Even if a person crawls through a beam, " Roudabush says, "the
frequency will be different from that of a four-legged animal.' "
The equipment is designed to determine which direction the
perpetrator is going. The time of a penetration can be automatically
clocked and the system can activate floodlights, sirens or simply a
silent signal that is picked up by a security guard's hand-held radio.
A fail-safe mechanism protects the system from below or above-ground
assault and an independent power supply continues in the event of an
outage.
The beams can be focused wide or narrow, depending on individual
requirements, and can extend to 50 feet in diameter.
Other states have indicated interest in the laser fence, Roudabush
said, adding that applications for licensing will be taken soon.
Potential manufacturers should contact the CCTRF at (916) 322-2700.
