BILL NUMBER:  AB 2005
  VETOED	DATE: 09/18/2014




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

This bill adds one Senator and one Assemblymember to the California
Horse Racing Board as ex officio, non-voting members who are
prohibited from serving on subcommittees of the Board.

Members of the Legislature can already participate in the
decision-making process of the Board ? through attendance at the
public hearings, formal correspondence to the Board, or meeting with
Commissioners or staff.  Changing the composition of the Board as
proposed would provide no additional benefits to the Legislature or
the horse racing industry.

For this reason I am returning Assembly Bill 2005 without my
signature.

Sincerely,


Edmund G. Brown Jr.
