BILL NUMBER:  AB 514
  VETOED	DATE: 10/05/2015




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 514 without my signature.

This bill increases the maximum amount of administrative fines and
penalties that counties can impose for violations of certain local
ordinances.

The public's health and safety is compromised when people willfully
violate county ordinances. Deterring such behavior is a worthwhile
goal. This bill, however, lacks the balance needed to prevent
unintended consequences, especially on those with modest means and
those who are unfamiliar with their local ordinances.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
