BILL NUMBER:  AB 527
  VETOED	DATE: 09/28/2013




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 527 without my signature.

This bill requires various transparency and accountability actions of
the Western Climate Initiative, Incorporated (WCI, Inc.), a
multi-jurisdictional body providing services that support the State's
Cap-and-Trade program.  This bill is unnecessary as WCI, Inc already
meets the open meeting, public records and auditing requirements of
this bill.

In order to ensure continued transparency, I have signed SB 726 that
will provide ongoing accountability without the risk of frivolous
litigation presented by this measure.


Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
