BILL NUMBER:  AB 317
  VETOED	DATE: 10/07/2015




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 317 without my signature.

This bill would exempt a temporary animal shelter from certain
provisions of state laws during a declared state of emergency.

While this bill is well-intentioned, the Department of Food and
Agriculture and the Office of Emergency Services are concerned it
could lead to confusion during a disaster.  I am directing both
offices to work with the author to identify possible ways to achieve
the objectives of this bill in ways that are consistent with
California's Standardized Emergency Management System.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
