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.
