SB400 CA Vetoed/Unsigned

[Pugzley]

This says vetoed, then it says unsigned. So which is it? Either way, it's a temporary win.

Looks to me like the gov. actually read the emails, etc. people were sending him since he referenced the pending legislation.
Legislative Update 2

SB 400 by Senator Ellen Corbett (D-San Leandro) - Tobacco. See attached veto message.

I am returning Senate Bill 400 without my signature.
While I support restricting access of electronic cigarettes to children under the age of 18, I
cannot sign a measure that also declares them a federally regulated drug when the matter is
currently being decided through pending litigation.
Items defined as “tobacco products” are legal for anyone over the age of 18. If adults want to
purchase and consume these products with an understanding of the associated health risks, they
should be able to do so unless and until federal law changes the legal status of these tobacco
products.
For this reason, I am unable to sign this bill.
Sincerely,

Arnold Schwarzenegger
