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.
