BILL NUMBER:  AB 1220
  VETOED	DATE: 10/09/2011




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 1220 without my signature.

This bill increases the statute of limitations from 90 days to 3
years for a citizen to file a Notice of Deficiency in a locally
adopted housing element.

While I understand the value of using the courts to compel compliance
with state housing goals, there should be a balance between a local
government's planning authority and citizen oversight.  This bill
tilts that balance and creates too much uncertainty.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
