"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. # # # PB/287 OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR Sacramento, California Contact: Lyn Nofziger MEMO TO THE PRESS Last week, 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). # # # PB?294 297 OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR Sacramento, California Contact: Lyn Nofziger 445-4571 5.29.67 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." OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR RELEASE: Immediate Sacramento, California 301 Contact: Lyn Nofziger 445-4571 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. # # # PB/301 322 OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR Sacramento, California MEMO TO THE PRESS Contact: Lyn Nofziger 445-4571 6.12.67 Sacramento--Governor Ronald Reagan signed the following bills: MAY 31, 1967 SB 143 - Chapter 222 Permits continued local licensing and Cusanovich regulations of taxicab service S: Unanimous A: Unanimous SB 202 - Chapter 223 Authorized adoption of merit system for Alquist classified employees of school districts S: Unanimous A: Unanimous AB 216 - Chapter 224 Specifies that date of unification election Grunsky shall be used to determine if new district S: Unanimous shall automatically have merit system for A: Unanimous employees.
