BILL NUMBER:  SB 292
  VETOED	DATE: 10/10/2015




To the Members of the California State Senate:

I am returning Senate Bill 292 without my signature.

This bill exempts certain employees from making pension contributions
if they work in a city or county that receives parcel tax revenue
designated for pension costs.

I believe the cost-sharing requirements in the Public Employees'
Pension Reform Act of 2013 are unrelated to whether a city or county
has an existing parcel tax for pensions. The employee share-of-cost
is a crucial standard that must be retained. I am unwilling to chip
away at this reform.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
