BILL NUMBER: AB 840 VETOED DATE: 09/30/2016 To the Members of the California State Assembly: I am returning Assembly Bill 840 without my signature. This bill prohibits mandatory overtime for registered nurses, license vocational nurses, or certified nursing assistants who are employed in state hospitals and facilities beginning January 1, 2019. As I stated in a prior veto message, this matter is more appropriately settled through the collective bargaining process. Sincerely, Edmund G. Brown Jr.
