BILL NUMBER:  SB 599
  VETOED	DATE: 10/10/2015




To the Members of the California State Senate:

I am returning Senate Bill 599 without my signature.

This bill expands a local bid preference requirement to the state for
public transit services.

By simply expanding this local requirement to the state, this bill
would significantly limit the state's current contracting authority
to determine who would be eligible for the bid preference and how to
calculate it if applied. I do not believe such a broad change is
needed at this time.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
