BILL NUMBER:  AB 2328
  VETOED	DATE: 09/25/2014




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 2328 without my signature.

This bill establishes the California AmeriCorps to be administered by
CaliforniaVolunteers in accordance with federal AmeriCorps program
guidelines.

While the bill is well intentioned, California already has programs,
such as the California Conservation Corps and the
CaliforniaVolunteers Service Enterprise Initiative, that couple
volunteer service with educational scholarships. I encourage the
Legislature to work through these programs to strengthen partnerships
between volunteers and local governments.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
