BILL NUMBER:  AB 1835
  VETOED	DATE: 09/28/2016




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 1835 without my signature.

This bill exempts institutions that award doctoral degrees in
psychoanalysis from the requirement to be accredited by a U.S.
Department of Education-recognized accreditor.¦

I am not convinced that conferring special treatment on this one
subset of professionals is warranted, when other means exist to
comply with state law.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
