BILL NUMBER: AB 1098 VETOED DATE: 09/19/2012 To the Members of the California State Assembly: I am returning Assembly Bill 1098 without my signature. AB 1098 would reallocate vehicle license fee revenues to recently incorporated cities that annexed inhabited territory. As drafted, this bill would undermine the 2011 Realignment formulas in a manner that would jeopardize dollars for local public safety programs, provides cities new funding beyond what existed under previous law, and would create a hole in the General Fund to the tune of $18 million. Given the current fiscal uncertainties, this is not acceptable. Sincerely, Edmund G. Brown Jr.
