BILL NUMBER:  SB 671
  VETOED	DATE: 09/30/2011




To the Members of the California State Senate:

This bill would make license renewal for court reporters contingent
on continuing education.  The whole idea of legally mandated
"continuing education" is suspect in my mind.  Professionals already
are motivated to hone their skills ? or risk not getting business.

Requiring them to pay fees to "continuing education providers" is an
unwarranted burden.

I am returning Senate Bill 671 without my signature.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
