BILL NUMBER:  AB 340
  VETOED	DATE: 10/05/2013




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 340 without my signature.

This bill requires the Public Utilities Commission to establish a
program to encourage the use of women, people of color and disabled
veteran-owned businesses for projects funded by the Electric Program
Investment Charge.

This bill inadvertently contains language that would jeopardize
critical renewable programs funded by this charge.


Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
