		AB 541 also establishes a GE crop notification process where farmers and researchers growing GE crops report the growing of their crops to their county Agriculture Commissioners.

	CLCV: Action Alerts: AB 2683 (Smog Check Rolling Exemption Repeal)
		AB 2683 will keep almost 64,000 model year 1976 vehicles in California’s Smog Check program, as well as tens of thousands of vehicles each year that would exit the program under current law.
		No cars that are currently exempted will become subject to the program; AB 2683 will maintain an exemption for all cars built before 1976 and "classic cars" that meet current standards for their model year—which are much more generous than the thresholds for newer cars.
		AB 2683 will repeal the 30-year rolling exemption from Smog Check and Smog Check II requirements and replace it with an exemption for vehicles manufactured prior to the 1976 model year.

	Apellate Body sets rules for NGO briefs in asbestos case
		The AB action now, as in two other earlier instances, has placed the situation of the NGOs on a higher footing than members - even if the AB can be quite arbitrary on which briefs they will take in and which they will not.
		The procedure notified by the AB on 8 November, was promptly sent out by the external relations division of the WTO secretariat to all the NGOs (public interest, industry groups etc) that are on its roster.
		The AB or the panels, unlike courts in national jurisdictions, have no inherent powers under the WTO, but strictly what is laid out and allowed, and cannot do anything on the ground that it is not prohibited.

	Consumer Class Action Names AB Energizer
		A New Jersey woman has filed a proposed class-action lawsuit against the manufacturer of the battery-powered AB Energizer belt, claiming their claims that the electronic belt somehow produces a muscular midsection.

		Additionally, the New Jersey action could give purchasers triple refunds under the state's Consumer Fraud Act, said Philip Stephen Fuoco, a lawyer involved in the case.

	Action: Reader's Ab Energizer is an exercise in futility
		When Ab Energizer in Bell, Calif., did not respond to our letters, the second sent certified and returned marked "refused," we tried to get an online report on Ab Energizer and came up with Electronic Product Dist LLC in San Diego, the manufacturer of the Ab Energizer.
		With regard to the card you received from Service America stating it "missed you and your home and hoped you could get back together again" -- this after it terminated you -- we suspect that this was automatically generated by a computer when your renewal did not go through, regardless of the reason.

		AB: Action research is an approach to professional development and improved student learning in which teachers systematically reflect on their work, seek feedback from colleagues, and make changes in their practice.

	Governor Gray Davis Signed AB 10X \| Action Alert Report
		Thank you for contacting Governor Gray Davis and urging him to sign AB 10X (Oropeza) that would establish a reasonable fee on industry to support clean air regulatory programs.
		AB 10x (Oropeza) is a key air quality funding bill which Governor Gray Davis recently signed into law.
		Given the cuts proposed in the Governor's budget to reduce funding for all environmental programs, including air quality, the signage of AB 10x marks a major achievement in generating a new revenue for pollution control by implementing reasonable fees on air pollution sources.

	Administrative Law Judge Orders Halt to Misleading Claims for “Ab Force” Belt
		An administrative law judge has ordered the marketers of the “Ab Force” belt to stop claiming that the device causes or promotes weight, inches, or fat loss; causes or promotes well-defined abdominal muscles; or is an effective alternative to regular exercise [1].
		In 2003, the FTC charged that the Ab Force marketers had falsely claimed that users could achieve weight loss, fat loss, and inch loss and get well-developed abdominal muscles and that use of the belt is an effective equivalent to regular exercise [5].
		The advertisements claimed that the Ab Force used the same technology and was just as powerful and effective as more expensive EMS devices (AbTronic, AB Energizer, and Fast Abs Exercise Belt) that were advertised on program-length infomercials during or shortly before the time period in which the Ab Force commercials appeared.

		AB 849 passed the state Senate, and will now go to the Assembly floor for a concurrence vote.

		AB 1056 would divert $250,000 education dollars to promote homosexuality, bisexuality and transgenderism as normal and acceptable behaviors and lifestyles under the guise of tolerance education.
