BILL NUMBER:  SB 1151
  VETOED	DATE: 09/19/2014




To the Members of the California State Senate:

I am returning Senate Bill 1151 without my signature.

This bill boosts funding for school zone safety projects by
increasing fines for even minor traffic violations occurring within
school zones from $237 to $366.

Increasing traffic fines as the method to pay transportation fund
activities is a regressive increase that affects poor people
disproportionately.  Making safety improvements in school zones is
obviously important, but not by increasing traffic fines.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
