BILL NUMBER:  AB 1588
  VETOED	DATE: 09/22/2016




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 1588 without my signature.

This bill codifies the existing low-interest loans and grants being
provided for local agencies, counties and qualified non-profits for
drinking water or wastewater treatment projects.  Unfortunately,
there were some technical errors that would inadvertently limit the
drought assistance we are currently providing.

I am directing the Water Board to work with the author on revised
legislation next year.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
