BILL NUMBER: AB 787
VETOED DATE: 10/10/2015
To the Members of the California State Assembly:
I am returning Assembly Bill 787 without my signature.
Under this bill, beginning January 1, 2017, a charter school could
not "operate as" or be "operated by" a for-profit corporation.
I don't believe the case has been made to eliminate for-profit
charter schools in California. Moreover, the somewhat ambiguous terms
used in this bill could be interpreted to restrict the ability of
non-profit charter schools to continue using for-profit vendors.
For these reasons, I am unable to sign AB 787.
Sincerely,
Edmund G. Brown Jr.
