BILL NUMBER:  AB 221
  VETOED	DATE: 10/09/2015




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 221 without my signature.

This bill requires the Department of Motor Vehicles to study the
feasibility of creating a "digital driver license" for smartphones
and report the results to the Legislature no later than December 1,
2016.

While the idea of a digital license sounds innovative, it poses
numerous technical difficulties. Given the many new responsibilities
that the Department of Motor Vehicles is already dealing with, I don'
t believe this bill is advisable.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
