BILL NUMBER: AB 1999 VETOED DATE: 09/29/2014 To the Members of the California State Assembly: I am returning Assembly Bill 1999 without my signature. This bill creates a tax credit for renovating historic buildings, which is in addition to a similar credit offered by the federal government. While this bill aims to achieve goals I wholeheartedly support, its cost -- $400 million over a period of years -- is a spending commitment that should be weighed against other important priorities in the upcoming budget. Sincerely, Edmund G. Brown Jr.
