BILL NUMBER: AB 1378 VETOED DATE: 10/02/2015 To the Members of the California State Assembly: I am returning Assembly Bill 1378 without my signature. This bill would allow each spouse in a marriage to submit a separate base-year property tax valuation transfer claim. I think this bill is too broad and allows an already generous property tax benefit to be allowed a second time on a larger scale. I do not believe that it would be prudent to authorize legislation such as this that would result in significant long-term costs to the General Fund. Sincerely, Edmund G. Brown Jr.
