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.
