Governor Ronald Reagan today signed into law a bill permitting
bilingual instruction in California's schools.
"This measure will be of tremendous benefit to many Californians,"
the governor said in signing the bill authored by Sen. Alan Short
(D-Stockton).
"It will be particularly valuable in giving Spanish-speaking
California children more and better opportunities for quality
education," he said.
The bill (SB 53) permits local school districts or private
school governing boards to allow bilingual instruction when it is
"educationally advantageous to pupils."
It declares that state policy is to insure the mastery of English
by all pupils but also will permit bilingual instruction to the extent
that it does not interfere with the systematic, sequential and regular
instruction in English.
The bill also provides that the act should not be construed to
permit the establishment of schools or classes which separate pupils
on any basis other than those situations in which bilingual instruc-
tion is educationally advantageous to the pupils.
Studies have shown, the governor noted, that one reason for a
high drop-out rate among Spanish-speaking children is their difficulty
in understanding basic subjects which are only taught in English.
The new law, he said, will assist those students by permitting
subjects to be taught in Spanish until the student masters it in
English.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Sacramento--Gov. Ronald Reagan today vetoed Assembly Bill 787
which would have provided that court commissioners could be dis-
qualified for prejudice.
It was his first veto since becoming Governor.
The Governor said he could not approve the measure because it
would further complicate the already serious problems of calendar
management in Los Angeles County courts. He also said that permit-
ting the disqualification of court commissioners would unduly burden
those courts using court commissioners without demonstrably benefittin
litigants or their attorneys.
The bill was authored by Assemblyman Craig Biddle (R-Riverside).

MEMO TO THE PRESS
-CORRECTION-
On the bill-signing release, #297, there was an ommission. The
description for SB 322 - Chapter 174 (page 1) should read:
"Qualifies one out-of-state doctor to take California
physycian and surgeon examination."

5.31.67
Governor Ronald Reagan today signed a bill designed to insure
that local licensing and regulations of taxicab service will continue
in California.
The governor said in signing SB 143 authored by Sen. Lou
Cusanovich (R-Sherman Oaks) that the measure is another example of
his pledge to seek the return of many regulatory powers to local
governmental agencies.
The bill basically exempts from the provisions of the
Passenger Charter-Party Carriers' Act taxicab service licensed and
regulated by a city or county in vehicles designed for not carrying
more than eight persons, excluding the driver.
Governor Reagan vetoed AB 524 which provided for substitution
of duplicate ballots for ballots so damaged that they could not be
counted by an electronic or electromechanical device.
The Coleman Vote Tally System was expressly excluded from
the bill's application and for this reason a serious constitutional
question was raised, the governor said.
Governor Reagan said he had been advised by the bill's author,
Assemblyman Charles J. Conrad (R-Sherman Oaks), that he agreed the
bill should not be signed because of the constitutional question.
