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.
