BILL NUMBER:  AB 1890
  VETOED	DATE: 09/30/2016




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 1890 without my signature.

This bill requires a firm with a state contract valued at $50,000 or
more that is required to submit an EEO-1 report to the U.S. Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission to also annually submit that
report, or a nondiscrimination program meeting specified
requirements, to the Department of Fair Employment and Housing.
The Office of Compliance Programs within the Department of Fair
Employment and Housing already has access to EEO-1 reports submitted
to the federal government by California employers. Additionally, and
as I stated last year, the Department currently requires all state
contractors to develop and implement a nondiscrimination program and
has broad authority to investigate, approve, certify, decertify,
monitor and enforce the obligation of state contractors not to
discriminate. For these reasons, I do not believe this bill is
necessary.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
