BILL NUMBER:  AB 272
  VETOED	DATE: 09/08/2015




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 272 without my signature.

This bill would impose, for the first time, liability upon public
entities for claims of discrimination brought by volunteer peace
officers.

Last year I signed AB 1443, which afforded protection against
harassment to all volunteers, including peace officers. That bill
makes sense, but I am not convinced that the expanded liability
included in this bill does.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
