BILL NUMBER:  SB 1304
  VETOED	DATE: 09/26/2016




To the Members of the California State Senate:

I am returning Senate Bill 1304 without my signature.

This bill allows for retroactive property tax assessments for those
affected by the Porter Ranch gas leak and expands the basis for
future tax relief in similar circumstances.

Under existing law, the county assessor can already reduce the
assessed value of homes to reflect changed market conditions. I think
that should be sufficient.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
