BILL NUMBER:  SB 817
  VETOED	DATE: 09/23/2016




To the Members of the California State Senate:

I am returning Senate Bill 817 without my signature.

This bill allows four cities that incorporated after January 1, 2004
and before January 1, 2012 to receive additional property tax revenue
through a redistribution of Vehicle License Fee revenue.

Last year, in recognition of the fiscal challenges these four cities
confront, I signed SB 107 which provided them approximately $24
million dollars. While I commend Senator Roth's tireless commitment
to assist the cities, this bill requires the state to make additional
and long term General Fund spending commitments. As such, this
proposal must be considered in light of other budget priorities
during upcoming budget deliberations.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
