BILL NUMBER:  AB 1293
  VETOED	DATE: 10/11/2015




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 1293 without my signature.

This bill would prohibit a personal services contract if it causes
layoff, demotion or involuntary transfer to a new classification or
location.

Currently, personal service contracts cannot be used in lieu of
existing civil service work. Furthermore, before a state agency can
enter into a personal services contract, the agency must demonstrate,
among other things, that the services cannot be performed by and
will not displace civil service employees.¦

I understand the sponsors have introduced this bill in response to
recent action by the federal receiver's office. As such, I am
directing the Department of Corrections to investigate that office's
practices with respect to Government Code Section 19130.¦

Sincerely,


Edmund G. Brown Jr.
