BILL NUMBER:  AB 1042
  VETOED	DATE: 10/08/2015




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 1042 without my signature.

This bill expands the definition of a proprietary private security
officer to include either a person who wears a security uniform or
provides a security function.  Under this new definition more people
would need to register with the Bureau of Security and Investigative
Serivices.

Registration and licensing can help protect consumers and the public,
but they can also create barriers to entry.  I am not convinced that
enough evidence currently exists to justify expanding the definition
of a proprietary private security officer to include bouncers who
work at nightclubs and bars.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
