BILL NUMBER: SB 655 VETOED DATE: 10/10/2013 To the Members of the California State Senate: I am returning Senate Bill 655 without my signature. This measure is in response to the recent Supreme Court ruling in Harris v. City of Santa Monica (2013) 56 Cal.4th 203, related to workplace discrimination. I think Supreme Court Justice Goodwin Liu got it right in his well-reasoned opinion in that case and I see no reason for further legislative intervention. Sincerely, Edmund G. Brown Jr.
