BILL NUMBER:  AB 895
  VETOED	DATE: 10/09/2015




To the Members of the California State Assembly:
I am returning Assembly Bill 895 without my signature.
This bill requires all energy crisis settlement agreements entered
into by the Attorney General and Public Utilities Commission to be
monetary, and specifies that the priority use of settlement funds is
to reduce ratepayer rates.
Although I agree with the intent to maximize ratepayer benefits from
energy crisis settlements, this bill unreasonably limits the range of
solutions that may well serve the public interest.
Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
