BILL NUMBER:  AB 650
  VETOED	DATE: 09/28/2016




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 650 without my signature.

This bill removes significant regulation of taxicabs by cities and
counties and declares the intent of the Legislature to transfer the
regulation of taxicabs to the state.

This bill fundamentally alters the long-standing regulation of
taxicabs by cities and counties and makes the determination that this
responsibility should be shifted to the state. I do not believe that
such a massive change is justified.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
