BILL NUMBER:  AB 2847
  VETOED	DATE: 09/28/2016




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 2847 without my signature.

This bill mandates additional reporting requirements for inclusion in
the High-Speed Rail Authority's business plan and in the project
update report.

I believe this bill is unnecessary, particularly in view of the
passage of Assembly Bill 1813, which adds two legislative members to
the Authority. As with other projects of this magnitude, state law
requires strict standards of accountability and transparency and I
have every expectation that the Authority will meet these high
standards.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
