Capitol Alert

The latest on California politics and government

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger announced action on a handful of other legislation late Wednesday, including a bill prohibiting businesses working in Sudan from bidding on state contracts and charter school legislation.

The Sudan legislation, by Assemblyman Ed Hernandez, D-West Covina, is AB 498.

Schwarzenegger announced signing two charter school bills (SB 658 by Sen. Gloria Romero, D-Los Angeles and AB 2033 by former Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez). Both relate to charter school financing.

The governor also vetoed legislation by Education Committee chair, Assemblyman Gene Mullin. Schwarzenegger said in his veto message that Mullin's AB 2115 would "create state mandated costs for charter schools ... which were created to be free from many of the laws governing school districts."
