Governor's Message










To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 2063 without my signature.

This bill designates the Chinook salmon as the official state anadromous fish and establishes goals for salmon recovery.

This bill is unnecessary. The Department of Fish and Game and the Fish and Game Commission currently implement actions to restore salmonid populations, using the best available science in a collaborative and clear public decision-making process. Additionally, this bill contains legislative findings related to the economic costs and benefits of salmon. The accuracy of these numbers varies over time making it questionable whether it is proper to place them into state law.

For these reasons, I am unable to sign this bill.

Sincerely,



Arnold Schwarzenegger
