BILL NUMBER: AB 504 VETOED DATE: 10/08/2015 To the Members of the California State Assembly: I am returning Assembly Bill 504 without my signature. This bill authorizes a city to contract with a nonprofit public benefit corporation to perform ministerial planning functions and requires the city to retain all other planning functions. This legislation imposes statewide rules on local land use planning that are intended to address a dispute in one jurisdiction. These are issues that should be determined at the local level. Sincerely, Edmund G. Brown Jr.
