Governor's veto message: To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 1239 without my signature.

This bill requires the state to develop building standards for electric vehicle parking

spaces for existing nonresidential buildings and multifamily dwellings.

In 2013, I signed AB 1092 which required the California Building Standards Commission

to adopt mandatory standards for the installation of electric vehicle charging stations for

parking spaces in new multifamily dwellings and nonresidential buildings. Furthermore,

the California Public Utilities Commission is currently working on a comprehensive plan

that will determine where investor-owned utilities can install charging stations around

the state.

Increasing transportation electrification will require additional coordination and

collaboration from the California Energy Commission, the California Public Utilities

Commission and the various departments within the Administration. I am directing the

Government Operations Agency to work with all the key parties to identify barriers to the

construction of charging stations in existing buildings.

Sincerely,

Edmund G. Brown Jr.

of 116


This bill requires the state to develop building standards for electric vehicle parking

spaces for existing nonresidential buildings and multifamily dwellings.

In 2013, I signed AB 1092 which required the California Building Standards Commission

to adopt mandatory standards for the installation of electric vehicle charging stations for

parking spaces in new multifamily dwellings and nonresidential buildings. Furthermore,

the California Public Utilities Commission is currently working on a comprehensive plan

that will determine where investor-owned utilities can install charging stations around

the state.

Increasing transportation electrification will require additional coordination and

collaboration from the California Energy Commission, the California Public Utilities

Commission and the various departments within the Administration. I am directing the

Government Operations Agency to work with all the key parties to identify barriers to the

construction of charging stations in existing buildings.

Sincerely,

Edmund G. Brown Jr.

This bill takes existing driver license restrictions placed on minors aged 16 and 17 years

and extends it to adults between 18 to 21 years old.

While I understand the author's intent of needing to address factors that contribute to

the unnecessary collisions and deaths of young Californians on our highways, the

provisions of this bill create a burden on a segment of adult Californians that are no

longer seen as a minor in the eyes of the law. Eighteen year olds are eligible to enlist in

the military, vote in national, state, and local elections, enter into contracts, and buy

their own car. I believe adults should not be subject to the same driving restrictions

presently applied to minors.

When I vetoed a similar bill in 2013, I believed that efforts would be better focused on

teen driver training and education programs that improve transportation safety for

provisional drivers. That is still my view today.

unique housing needs and fifteen percent of the funding will be targeted towards

Authorizes a Transit Pilot Pass Program funded at $20 million to be administered by the

Caltrans to provide free or reduced fare transit passes to low income students.






This bill requires the Department of Transportation to create a competitive grant

program for local transit agencies to provide free and reduced-fare transit passes for

low-income students.

Many transit agencies, including the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation

Authority, already have a variety of reduced-fare transit programs for students. Before

we create this new statewide program, I think we should have a fuller discussion on how

local transit discount programs work and how any new ones should be paid for.
