BILL NUMBER:  AB 454
  VETOED	DATE: 10/13/2013




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 454 without my signature.

I agree disability payments should be determined based on the lawful
wages paid, or that should have been paid, to an injured worker.  I
am not convinced that this is not the existing practice.  Further,
requiring a claims administrator to make prevailing wage
determinations as this measure proposes is a bad idea.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
