BILL NUMBER:  SB 1451
  VETOED	DATE: 09/24/2016




To the Members of the California State Senate:

I am returning Senate Bill 1451 without my signature.

This bill grants the State Compensation Insurance Fund Board
authority to appoint and set the salary for up to eight additional
senior management positions.

Under limited circumstances it has been necessary for state agencies
to have salary setting authority for certain positions.  I'm not
convinced this authority is justified in this instance.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
