To the Members of the California State Senate: I am returning Senate Bill 832 without my signature. I am supportive of efforts to address the cost of college textbooks and share the concern that these education costs have an impact on the affordability of college for many students. However, this bill focuses strictly on textbook publisher policies and fails to recognize that the affordability of textbooks is a shared responsibility among publishers, college bookstores, and faculty members. Therefore, instead of this bill, I am signing Assembly Bill 1548. Many of the same concepts in SB 832 are included in AB 1548, but AB 1548 recognizes the shared responsibility and attempts to address the issue in a more comprehensive manner. For these reasons, I am unable to sign this bill. Sincerely, Arnold Schwarzenegger |
