BILL NUMBER:  SB 284
  VETOED	DATE: 10/10/2013




To the Members of the California State Senate:

I am returning Senate Bill 284 without my signature.

This bill is a creative approach for funding Cal Grant awards.  I
commend the author for his resourcefulness.

Unfortunately the bill inadvertently impacts the Proposition 98
funding guarantee negatively.  This flaw can easily be corrected by
specifying in a new bill that the donations transferred to the
General Fund are "General Fund revenues" for purposes of Proposition
98.  I direct the Department of Finance to work with the author so a
new bill that avoids this negative impact can be sent to me next
January.


Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
