BILL NUMBER: AB 1450
VETOED DATE: 09/29/2014
To the Members of the California State Assembly:
I am returning Assembly Bill 1450 without my signature.
This bill would prohibit Successor Agencies, under certain
circumstances, from receiving property tax incremental revenue
generated on voter-approved pension override levies to pay
Enforceable Obligations.
The process laid out in this measure would put the state back on the
hook, to the tune of $20 million dollars, for erstwhile local
decisions to allow property tax growth from voter approved tax levies
for pension obligations to be used by the redevelopment agency for
redevelopment activities. I encourage the author and stakeholders to
come up with a solution to this issue without impacting general fund
dollars.
Sincerely,
Edmund G. Brown Jr.
