Governor Ronald Reagan announced today he has vetoed AB-602,
Gonzalves, the so-called "raw milk"bill.
In a letter to members of the Assembly, the governor said:
"I am returning without my signature Assembly Bill No. 602 entitled,
"An act to add Section 35928 to the Agricultural Code, relating to milk
and milk products, and declaring the urgency thereof, to take effect
immediately.'
"AB-602 limits the authority of local health or milk inspection
officers to prohibit the use, sale or disposal of certified raw milk or
certified raw milk products.
officers
"The bill generally prevents local health/from taking certified raw
milk off the market when disease organisms are found unless illness
results which can be proved traceable to the consumption of certified
raw milk. Exceptions are provided in the case of seven specified
disease organisms.
"In the case of several other disease producing organisms such as
anthrax, botulism, cholera, para-typhoid fever and poliomyolitis, the
local public health officer must go to the local county milk commission
and obtain that body's approval to enjoin the distribution of milk
containing such organisms.
"It appears that the principal stimulus for the passage of AB-602
was alleged harassment by government officials. The remedy for such a
situation, if true, is best provided by administrative action and the
courts, rather than by general legislation which restricts all state and
local health officers. These officials must have the power to control
the distribution and sale of food products found to contain disease
organisms.
"I have no desire to restrict the right of people to use certified
raw milk or certified raw milk products, but AB-602 unduly limits the
authority of health officers to take necessary precautions for the
protection of the public.
"My decision in this matter is based also on the recommendations of
the California Medical Association, the State Board of Public Health,
local public health officers, and the State Departments of Agriculture
and Public Health."

Authorizes the Lassen-Modoc County Flood

Control and Water Conservation District to
acquire authority to proceed with a project

Permits an elective constable who becomes
(Chapter 83)
a non-elective marshal or deputy marshal by
operation of law to remain a member of a
county retirement system for the uncompleted
elective term regardless of his age.
The need for the bill arose from the
consolidation of two justice courts in Contra
Costa County. The resulting court was ruled
to be a municipal court. An elected constable
of one of the justice courts, being 70 years
of age, would be compelled to retire by oper-
ation of existing law.

Removes authority of the Secretary of State
(Chapter 78)
to deny, revoke or suspend a commission as

In 1967, when the laws relating to notaries
public were amended, the Secretary of State
was required to deny an appointment as a
notary public in instances where the
applicant had been adjudicated a bankrupt
within the five year period immediately
preceding the date of application for appoint-
ment. After applying such a provision for
a few months, it became quite apparent the
bankruptcy provision was quite harsh and
unfair. In 1968, the Secretary of State
recommended an amendment which permitted him
discretion in granting appointments.
SB 199 - Danielson
Prohibits putting any human waste into

stringent regulation of pollution by vessels.

REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said,
"The juvenile court is not

step towards establishing a criminal court for

a change is desirable." Accordingly, he

governor to revoke the parole of any prisoner.
REASON FOR VETO: Governor Reagan said,
"This measure repeals Penal

that this authority should be retained to cover
those situations where, in the case of extreme
emergency, the public safety requires that a
parole must be revoked, and the members of the
Adult Authority are not available to take
immediate action." Accordingly, he returned
the bill unsigned.

Governor Ronald Reagan announced today he has signed two bills
tightening existing laws making it a crime for those who provide
services under Medi-Cal to submit false claims.
The bills, AB-949 (Duffy) and AB-987 (Cullen) both were supported
by the governor.
"It is indeed regrettable that a few selfish individuals have
necessitated more stringent ammendments to current laws in order to
prevent this type of dishonesty," the governor said.
AB-949, which was part of the governor's legislative program,
makes it a crime for any person, with intent to defraud, to present any
false or fraudulent claim, to submit false information for the purpose
of obtaining greater compensation or to knowingly submit false
information for the purpose of obtaining authorization for the furnishing
of services or merchandise under Medi-Cal.
The bill provides that such enforcement does not prevent the use
of any other criminal or civil remedy.
AB 987 amends the Penal Code to make it a misdemeanor or felony
for a person to fraudulently submit a claim for payment to any
State board or officer, or any county, city, or district board or
officer. As used in this bill, "officer" includes a "carrier" as
defined in the Welfare and Institutions Code.
The Department of Health Care Services said it had been difficult
to initiate prosecutions because both prosecuting officers and the
courts have not recognized the State's fiscal intermediaries as agents
or officers of the State.
