BILL NUMBER:  SB 1463
  VETOED	DATE: 09/24/2016




To the Members of the California State Senate:

I am returning Senate Bill 1463 without my signature.

This bill requires the Public Utilities Commission to prioritize
areas that have increased fire hazard associated with overhead
utility facilities.

Since May of last year, the Commission and CalFire have been doing
just that through the existing proceeding on fire-threat maps and
fire-safety regulations. This deliberative process should continue
and the issues this bill seeks to address should be raised in that
forum.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
