BILL NUMBER:  AB 1505
  VETOED	DATE: 09/30/2016




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 1505 without my signature.

This bill extends, from one to three years, the statute of
limitations for specified Public Contract Code misdemeanors relating
to competitive bidding.

Although the bill extends the criminal statute of limitations for
violations of seven Public Contract Code sections, violations of four
of those code sections carry no criminal penalties and are not
actual crimes. We should not introduce any uncertainty into the Penal
Code.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
