BILL NUMBER: SB 686 VETOED DATE: 10/10/2015 To the Members of the California State Senate: I am returning Senate Bill 686 without my signature. This bill provides full collective bargaining rights under the Higher Education Employer-Employee Relations Act to University of California and Hastings College of the Law supervisory peace officers. I vetoed a similar bill, SB 765, in 2013, out of a concern that it blurred the line between labor and management. Nothing has changed. Sincerely, Edmund G. Brown Jr.
