BILL NUMBER:  AB 483
  VETOED	DATE: 10/10/2015




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 483 without my signature.

This bill would require various programs ? but not all ? within the
Department of Consumer Affairs to prorate license fees, based on how
many months have elapsed between the initial issuance of a license
and time of renewal.

Creating an equitable licensing fee is a policy I support. Such an
endeavor, however, can be crafted more carefully and thoughtfully
through regulation.

I am directing the Department of Consumer Affairs to work with each
board, bureau, and commission to devise a sound approach to gurantee
that each licensee pays a fair amount.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
