BILL NUMBER: AB 2691 VETOED DATE: 09/23/2016 To the Members of the California State Assembly: I am returning Assembly Bill 2691 without my signature. This bill authorizes a county board of supervisors to let qualified taxpayers pay their property taxes in monthly, rather than biannual, payments. County supervisors, tax collectors, and auditors across the state oppose this measure due to the significant costs to upgrade tax collection systems. I am not convinced that changing these current systems, many of which have been in place for decades, is worth the cost. Sincerely, Edmund G. Brown Jr.
