AB 2536 Leiber !!VETOED!! CDR Supported! Hotel-Motel Grab Bars

!!UPDATE!!! VETOED on 9-21 -

To the Members of the California State Assembly:
I am returning Assembly Bill 2536 without my signature as the intent of this bill can be
done administratively through the regulatory process and does not require legislation.
This bill requires the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) to
establish building standards by January 1, 2006 regarding the installation of grab bars and
non-skid flooring or mats in hotel bathrooms.
While the goals of the bill are laudable, they can be better accomplished through the
building standards adoption process.
Sincerely,
Arnold Schwarzenegger
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Amended :Requires the Department of Housing and Community Development to propose building standards for grab bars in hotel and motel rooms. Also rquires that slip resistent mats meeting specific standards be made available January 2006.
