BILL NUMBER:  SB 969
  VETOED	DATE: 09/30/2014




To the members of the California State Senate:

I am returning Senate Bill 969 without my signature.

This bill mandates that state and local transportation projects
costing over $2.5 billion use peer review groups and prepare risk
management plans.

This bill fails to break any new ground for improving the outcome of
large projects.  The provisions of the bill are already industry
standard and required by federal laws for projects on the interstate
system and where federal loans or funds over certain amounts are
used.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
