BILL NUMBER: AB 883
VETOED DATE: 10/10/2015
To the Members of the California State Assembly:
I am returning Assembly Bill 883 without my signature.
This bill seeks to vest in the Division of Labor Standards
Enforcement an entirely new responsibility: to enforce a prohibition
on job advertisements and communications that relate to a person's
prior status as a public employee.
I think I understand what the sponsors intend, but the provisions in
this bill could limit legitimate efforts of public jurisdictions to
manage their workforce.
For this reason, I am unable to sign the bill.
Sincerely,
Edmund G. Brown Jr.
