BILL NUMBER: AB 804 VETOED DATE: 09/28/2015 To the Members of the California State Assembly: I am returning Assembly Bill 804 without my signature. This bill would require the Court Reporters Board to establish continuing education requirements for renewal of a shorthand reporter certificate. This measure is very similar to SB 671, which I vetoed in 2011. My view then was that, "the whole idea of legally mandated continuing education is suspect in my mind." My thinking hasn't changed. Sincerely, Edmund G. Brown Jr.
