BILL NUMBER:  SB 1094
  VETOED	DATE: 09/29/2016




To the Members of the California State Senate:

I am returning Senate Bill 1094 without my signature.

This bill requires that at least five percent of the signatures
collected on state initiative petitions be obtained by volunteer
circulators.

This bill is virtually identical to AB 857, which I vetoed in 2013.
Lowering the percentage from 10 percent to 5 percent does not change
my view that this measure will not keep out special interests or
favor volunteer signature gathering.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
