BILL NUMBER:  AB 2493
  VETOED	DATE: 09/28/2012




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 2493 without my signature.

The recently enacted landmark comprehensive workers' compensation
reform legislation makes this measure unnecessary.  The provisions of
this measure are included in the larger reform package.  I thank the
author for his hard work and commitment to making the system better
for employers and employees alike.

These reforms - backed by both Democrats and Republicans ? reduce
costs to businesses and protect workers. Further, they will help to
avert an imminent crisis of skyrocketing rates that would have hurt
both injured workers and businesses.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
