BILL NUMBER: AB 1232 VETOED DATE: 09/30/2015 To the Members of the California State Assembly: I am returning Assembly Bill 1232 without my signature. This bill provides a person who has been denied a license as an insurance agent, broker, or solicitor an additional option to request a hearing from the Department of Insurance Administrative Hearing Bureau. This bill would create a redundancy in government and removes an impartial body from the appeal process when no demonstrable problem has been proven to exist. The current process, which allows an applicant to request a specific hearing date from the Office of Administrative hearing, appears to be sufficient. Sincerely, Edmund G. Brown Jr.
