BILL NUMBER:  AB 85
  VETOED	DATE: 09/28/2015




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 85 without my signature.

This bill expands the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act to include state
advisory bodies, regardless of their size.

My thinking on this matter has not changed from last year when I
vetoed a similar measure, AB 2058. I believe strongly in transparency
and openness but the more informal deliberation of advisory bodies
is best left to current law.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
