BILL NUMBER: AB 1952 VETOED DATE: 09/21/2016 To the Members of the California State Assembly: I am returning Assembly Bill 1952 without my signature. This bill allows the Director of Finance to authorize expenditures from the General Fund to pay all approved claims from the Senior and Disabled Citizens Property Tax Postponement Program if the State Controller determines there are insufficient funds. The premise of the 2014 legislation reinstating this program was that it be entirely self-financing. This bill will reverse that, putting the General Fund back on the hook. Sincerely, Edmund G. Brown Jr.
