sion of the Legislature.
SEC. 2. Section 17666.3 of the Education Code is amended
to read:
17666.3. For the purposes of Section 17666.2, a necessary
small junior college district is a junior college district with
an average daily attendance of less than 1,001 during the fiscal
year, and which comes within any one of the following condi-
tions:
(a) One campus of the junior college district is more than
25 miles by a well-traveled road from the nearest other public
junior college; and either 90 percent of the pupils, exclusive
of adults as defined in Section 5756, would be required to
travel 20 miles, or 25 percent of the pupils, exclusive of adults
as defined in Section 5756, would be required to travel 25
miles one way from a point on a well-traveled road to the
nearest other public junior college.
(b) The conditions under paragraph (a) of this section do
not apply, but on annual application of the district the State
Board of Education has determined for the fiscal year that
the district is located in an area sufficiently remote SO as to
necessitate local current expenditures significantly higher than
statewide average current expenditures for junior colleges.
This section shall remain in effect until the 61st day after
adjournment of the 1969 Regular Session of the Legislature.

The Honorable Members of the Senate

Sacramento, California
Greetings:
I am returning without my signature Senate Bill No. 76,
entitled, An act to amend Sections 17666.2 and 17666.3
of the Education Code, relating to junior college districts.
This bill extends for two years the present state support
formula for small junior college districts.
AB 272 (Chapter 1209 of the Statutes of 1967) which incorpo-
rates the principal provisions of SB 76 also increases the
level of foundation program support for junior college dis-
tricts with an average daily attendance of more than 1,000
to $628 per a.d.a. SB 76 does not increase such foundation
program support above the present $600 per a.d.m. level.
If SB 76 is signed, it will continue in effect the present
$600 per a.d.a. level of support and the increase of $628
effected by AB 272 will be nullified.
Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned.

Senate Bill No. 76 no longer permits a junior college district of less
than 1001 average daily attendance to qualify for the favorable treat-
ment now provided such districts in the computation of foundation pro-
grams unless the district is also a "necessary small junior college
district". The definition of "necessary small junior college district"
is changed by deleting one of the requirements, namely, a three-year
projected average daily attendance of 1001 or less, and by reducing
from 30 to 25 miles the travel distance and the distance between campuses
used as a criterion.
The Attorney General and Legislative Counsel have no constitutional
or legal objections to approval.
The bill will chapter out the increase in the foundation program to
junior college districts with an ADA of more than 1,000 made by AB 272.
AB 272 provides $628 per ADA while SB 76 maintains the $611 per ADA level.
The Department of Education recommends approval.
The Department of Finance recommends approval.
Senator Grunsiyy, the author, requests approval.

Greetings:
3 am returning without my signature Senate Bill No. 1088, "An
act to amend Sections 310, 321, and 450 of the Elections Code,
relating to registration of voters.
This mossare requires the name of the registrant on the affidavit
of registration to be preceded by the title "ME,, @). "Miss,"
or "Mrs." It also requires the index of registration to include
the title appearing on the affidavit of registration.
sa 1088 vas introduced to eliminate the provisions of present
law which require women to state their marital status on affidavita
of registration. Non are not asked their marital status. The
bill as enacted does not accomplish this objective. It only adds
to the workload of the county clerks.
Accordingly, I all returning the bill unsigned.

Senate Bill No. 1088 requires the name of the registrant on an

include the title appearing on the affidavit.
The Attorney General and Legislative Counsel have no constitu-
tional or legal objections to approval.
The bill was introduced at the request of the Advisory Commission
on the Status of Women.
The Secretary of State recommends approval. This bill was intro-
duced at the request of various women's groups because they feel
that the affidavit of registration is discriminatory against
women in that their marital status was required and men were not
asked their marital status.
Actually, this bill doesn't accomplish the original goals intended.
It is merely a variation of the existing affidavit and the deputy
will still ask the same questions regarding women's marital status
as they currently do.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
SECTION 1. Section 12810 of the Vehicle Code is amended

the 1969 Regular Session of the Legislature, in determining

23102, 23103, or 23104 of this code shall be given a value of
two points and any other traffic conviction involving the safe
operation of a motor vehicle upon the highway shall be given

violation arising from one occasion of arrest or citation shall
be counted in determining the violation point count for the
purposes of this section.
On and after the 61st day after final adjournment of the
1969 Regular Session of the Legislature, in determining the
violation point count, any conviction under Sections 14601,
20002, 23102, 23103, or 23104 of this code shall be given a

be given a value of one point; provided, that conviction for
only one violation arising from one occasion of arrest or cita-
tion shall be counted in determining the violation point count
for the purposes of this section.
Any person whose driving record shows a violation point
count of four or more points in 12 months, six or more points
in 24 months or eight or more points in 36 months shall be
prima facie presumed to be a negligent operator of a motor

Any accident in which the operator is deemed by the de-
partment to be responsible shall be given a value of one point.
In applying the provisions of this section to a driver, the
department shall give due consideration to the amount of use
or mileage traveled in the operation of a motor vehicle.
SEC. 2. Section 13364 of the Vehicle Code is amended to

riod or, during a period of suspension or revocation in which

Greetings:
I am returning without my signature Assembly Bill No. 2407,
"An act to amend Sections 12810 and 13364 of the Vehicle
Code, relating to suspension or revocation of driver's
license.
This bill suspends for two years the mandatory provisions
for the suspension or revocation of the driving privilege for
an additional period upon conviction of driving with a suspended
or revoked license.
The license suspension problem will be considered as a part
of the drunk driving program to be undertaken by the Trans-
portation Agency pursuant to AB 2533 (Chapter
24
Statutes
of 1967). I do not feel that any change in the suspension
pattern should be changed until this study is completed.
Accordingly, I an returning the bill without my signature.

Assembly Bill No. 2407 deletes until the 61st day after adjournment
of the 1969 Regular Session of the Legislature the mandatory
provisions for suspending or revoking the driving privilege for an
additional period not to exceed 12 months upon conviction of driving
during a term suspension or revocation. It also deletes the
discretionary provision tossuspend not to exceed six months upon
conviction of driving during a period of suspension or revocation
for an indeterminate period or termination is dependent upon an
act of the person suspended or revoked.
This bill also memoves violations of Section 14601 (driving while
suspended or revoked) from the violation point count in determining
negligent operators. Presently, it is given a count of two.
The Attorney General and Legislative Counsel have no constitutional
or legal objections to approval.
The Transportation Agency and the Department of Motor Vehicles
urges that the bill be betoed. This bill advanced through the
Legislature solely on the presentation that suspensions are difficult
to enforce and that some judges are unwilling to convict drivers
where additional suspension time will result. These factors do
not justify the elimination of a suspension particularly when it will
grant leniency to duunk drivens who are a factor in a major percentage
of motor vehicle accidents. The license suspension problem will be

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
SECTION 1. Section 13352.1 is added to the Vehicle Code,
to read

the privilege to operate a motor vehicle of any person, whose
sole employment for compensation is the operation of a motor
vehicle, shall not be suspended or revoked upon conviction for
driving a motor vehicle while under the influence of intoxicat-
ing liquor, if such person has not had a prior conviction of
Section 23101 or a second conviction of Section 23102 within

ommends that the privilege not be suspended or revoked and
makes an order restricting the driving privilege to operating
a motor vehicle in the course and scope of, and as, his sole
employment for compensation. Such restriction, and the date
upon which such restriction shall no longer be in effect, shall
be set forth by the court on the reverse side of the driver's

Sacramento, California
Greetings:
1 an returning without my signature Senate Bill No. 1270,
entitled, "An act to add Section 13352.1 to the Vehicle Code,
relating to driver's licenses".
This bill provides that there shall be no suspension or
revecation of the driving privilege for second offense drunk
driving if the defendant's sole employment for compensation is
the operation of a motor vehicle if the court makes an order
restricting the driving privilege to the course of employ-
ment. The bill has no epplication to cases where the driver
has had a prior felony drunk driving or a second misdemeanor
drunk driving conviction within one year.
The Transportation Agency will be conducting, pursuant to
AB 2538 (Chapter ,Statute of 1967) a four-county study of
the entire drunk driving problem with the goal of identifying
fair and effective enforcement methods to protect the motor-
ing public against this major traffic hazard. I believe that
consideration of further legislative approaches to the drunk
driving problem should be deferred until this study is com-
pleted.
Accordingly, I am returning the bill without my signature.

Senate Bill No. 1270 provides that there shall be no suspension
or revocation of a driving privilege for senond offense drunk
driving if the defendant's sole employment for compensation is
operation of a motor vehicle if the court makes an order
restricting such privilege to course and scope of employment and
provided he has not had a prior felony drunk driving or a second
misdemeanor drunk driving conviction within one year.
The Attorney General and Legislative Counsel have no constitu-
tional or legal objections to approval.
The California Teamsters Council recommends that the bill be
signed. The Council notes that the bill could keep the professional
driver off welfare.
The Transportation Agency and the Department of Motor Vehicles
urge that the bill be vetoed. It is the Agency's position that
there is a need to strengthen the protection against drunk
driving rather than put him back on the road sooner. In view
of the admitted fact that drunk drivers are a factor in a majority
of serious accidents, it is difficult to justify such piecemeal
legislation as this.
Senator Miller, the author, requests approval.

any note secured by real property unless such loan or other

The Honorable Members of the Senate

Sacramento, California
Greetings:
1 am returning without my signature Senate Bill No. 1254,
entitled, An act to amend Section 18406.1 of the Financial
Code, relating to industrial loan companies.
sa 1254 would authorize industrial loan companies to make
loans secured by real property for five years. Present
law limits such loans to three years.
This bill permits industrial loan companies to make longer
loans secured by real property at the same rates they now
charge for personal loans. A real estate loan, unlike
most personal leans, is secured and consequently the risk
of loss is correspondingly reduced. The bill tends to
penalize the horrower who has real estate for security
and who should be entitled to a lower interest rate.
Accordingly, 2 am returning the bill unsigned.

Code is amended to read:
11568. When a soil or geologic report has been prepared,
this fact shall be noted on the final map, together with the
date of the report and the name of the engineer or the geologist
making the report.
SEC. 3. Section 17953 of the Health and Safety Code is

The preliminary soil report and the geologic report may be
waived if the building department of the city, county or city

amended to read:
- 4 -
17955. The building department of each city, county, or
city and county, or other enforcement agency charged with

structural damage to each dwelling to be constructed. As a
condition to the building permit, the ordinance shall require
that the approved recommended action be incorporated in the
construction of each dwelling. Appeal from such determination
shall be to the local appeals board.
SEC. 6. This act shall become operative only if Senate Bill
No. 1493 is enacted by the Legislature at the 1967 Regular Ses-
sion, and in such case at the same time as Senate Bill No. 1493.

Sacramento--Governor Ronald Reagan announced today he has signed
the following bills:
August 31, 1967
AB 1515 - Chapter 1631
Changes name of State Employees' Retirement

Sacramento--Gov. Ronald Reagan announced today his veto of the
following bills:
SB 76
Extends for two years the present state
Grunsky & Bradley
support formula for small junior college
districts.
Gov. Reagan said, "If SB 76 is signed, it will continue in effect,
the present $600 per A.D.A. level of support and the increase of
$628 effected by AB 272 (Chapter 1209, Statutes of 1967) will be
nullified."
SB 95
Provides that whenever a person holding a
Carrell
license from the state is prosecuted for a
public offense defined in the business and
professions code, and is found not guilty,
no disciplinary action can be taken against
the licensee based on the same charges
alleged in the criminal complaint.
Gov. Reagan said, "This bill constitutes a radical departure from
the long-standing law of this state which has recognized the essential
difference between criminal proceedings and administrative disciplin-
ary actions against licensees under administrative proceedings. Al-
though evidence in a particular case may not be sufficient to warrant
conviction in a criminal proceeding, it may well justify discipline
against the licensee."
SB 436
Schmitz
Requires sheriff or police chief to notify
immediately by telephone the appropriate
superintendent of schools as to the arrest
of a school teacher for a sex offense.
Gov. Reagan said, "I have already signed SB 968 which includes the
provisions of SB 436. If I signed SB 436 at this time, it would
Chapter out SB 968."
SB 673
Exempts the sale of any bedding, except
Cologne
mattresses, by a nonprofit religious organi-
zation from the requirement that such bedding
be sterilized as required under the furniture
and bedding inspection act.
Gov. Reagan said, "Exempting secondhand bedding can have adverse
public health consequences. Health hazards are the same whether the
bedding is sold by a nonprofit organization or a commercial estab-
lishment. It appears that the proper solution to the problem would
be to lower the bedding inspection fees for such organizations."
SB 1008
Requires the name of the registrant on the
Short
affidavit of registration to be preceded by
the title of "Mr.", "Miss" or "Mrs.". CIV>
Also requires the index of registration to
include the title.
- 1 -
Gov. Reagan said, "SB 1088 was introduced to eliminate the provisions
of present law which require women to state their marital status.
The bill as enacted does not accomplish this objective. It only adds
to the workload of the county clerks.
SB 1210
Requires cities and counties to enactan
Rodda
ordinance requiring a preliminary soil
report, or a geological report prepared by
a registered geologist, of every subdivision.
Gov. Reagan said, "Section 6 of this bill provides that this act
shall be come operative only if SB 1493 is enacted. SB 1493 was
refused passage."
SB 1254
Authorizes industrial loan companies to
Dolwig
make loans secured by real property for
five years.
Gov. Reagan said, "This bill permits industrial loan companies to
make bnger loans secured by real property at the same rates they
now charge for personal loans. The bill tends to penalize the
borrower who has real estate for security and who should be entitled
to a lower interest rate."
SB 1270
Provides that there shall be no suspension
Miller & Dills
or revocation of a driving privilege for
second offense drunk driving if the
defendant's sole employment for compensation
is operation of a motor vehicle if the court
makes an order restricting such privilege to
course and scope of employment and provided
he has not had a prior felony drunk driving
or a second misdemeanor drunk driving con-
viction within one year.
Gov. Reagan said, "The transportation agency will be conducting,
pursuant to AB 2538 (Chapter 1626, statutes of 1967), a four-county
study of the entire drunk driving problem. I believe that considera-
tion of further legislative approaches to the drunk driving problem
should be deferred until this study is completed."
SB 1344
Requires state board of registration for
Song and Burns
civil and professional engineers to register
without examination in metallurgical engineer-
ing any applicant who applies prior to
June 30, 1966, and who meets specified
qualifications.
Gov. Reagan said, "It is not in the intent of orderly and equitable
administration of the engineer registration program to selectively
lower standards as was done in this case."
AB 2407
Suspends for two years the mandatory pro-
Vasconcellos
visions for the suspension or revocation of
the driving privilege for an additional period
upon conviction of driving with a suspended
or revoked license.
Gov. Reagan said, "The license suspension problem will be considered
as a part of the drunk driving program to be undertaken by the trans-
portation agency. I do not feel that any change in the suspension
pattern should be changed until this study is completed.

Sacramento--Governor Ronald Reagan announced today that he has
vetoed the following bills:
SB 18
Increases the maximum limit of a "cal-vet"
Danielson & Alquist
home loan to $20,000 if the people adopt
the Veterans Bond Act of 1968.
Governor Reagan said: "It has been estimated that $150 million would
be required annually if the home loan limit is increased to $20,000.
At this rate, funds from the proposed Veterans Bond Act of 1968 would
be exhausted in less than two years."
SB 52
Substitutes for the Bureau of Private
Short
Investigators and Adjusters a board of pri-
vate investigators and adjusters to ad-
minister the Private Investigator and Ad: s-
juster Act.
Governor Reagan said that the Little Hoover Commission's recently com-
pleted study of the Department of Professional and Vocational Standards
"will have to be evaluated in greater detail before further legislation
in this area is approved."
SB 102
Increases minimum salaries of credentialed
Dolwig
teachers to $6,000 per year on and after
July 1, 1968.
Governor Reagan said this "would add additional direct costs of over
$3 million annually to local school districts" and this matter "should
be the concern of local school boards."
SB 111
Provides that certain information in school
Dymally
employees' personnel files may be open to
their inspection.
Governor Reagan questioned "whether this bill guarantees that the con-
fidentiality of such records will be maintained. This is a matter
which should receive further study by the Legislature."
SB 160
Creates a state scholarship subsistence
Dymally & Rodda
grant program providing 500 subsistence
grants per year in 1968-71 fiscal years.
Governor Reagan said: "Enabling legislation of this type should be
deferred until the Coordinating Council for Higher Education has com-
pleted its study of the need for student financial aid and the findings
of the study have been reviewed."
SB 346
Provides that a notice of taking a deposi- )
Moscone & Grunsky
tion where no subpoena is required can com-
pel the production of papers, documents or
books material to the issues which are in
the deponent's possession or under his
control.
Governor Reagan said that since this "would apparently repeal the re-
quirement that 'good cause' must be shown for the production of docu-
ments at depositions, it leaves entirely unclear what, if any, remedy
a deponent may have to protect himself against unreasonably broad or
burdensome demands."
- 1 -
SB 366
Permits agencies in Department of Profes-
Short
sional and Vocational Standards to hold
conferences with a licensee prior to fil-
ing a proceeding for revocation or suspen-
sion of his license and to impose penalties
as a result of his conference.
Governor Reagan said this "will tend to eliminate the necessary sep-
aration of investigation, prosecution and adjudication functions in
license disciplinary proceedings."
SB 381
Provides for increased payments to county
Grunsky
superintendents of schools for full-time
instructors for blind pupils.
Governor Reagan said that, if signed, this "could chapter out the in-
creased assistance to physically handicapped children as provided in
AB 272."
SB 406
Permits the Department of Youth Authority
Burgener
and the Department of Corrections to reim-
burse cities and counties for the cost of
maintaining persons committed or on parole.
Governor Reagan said: "The present state of the general fund precludes
favorable consideration of the bill this year" since costs "could run
as high as $1 million per year."
SB 423
Creates a California Board of Interior Fur-
Short
nishings to administer interior furnishings
licensing law.
Governor Reagan said that the Little Hoover Commission's study of the
Department of P & V Standards "will have to be evaluated in greater
detail before further legislation is approved. In addition, I ser-
iously question the desirability of the Legislature appointing members
to an administrative board."
SB 543
Increases payments to counties for main-
Kennick & Carrell
taining children in juvenile homes or camps.
Governor Reagan said that since this is a joint state/local responsi-
bility, he "would be happy to reconsider this measure next year if
Legislation were introduced which would allow the state to receive a
reasonable amount from the counties for maintaining county wards."
SB 626
Requires California-made cabinetry to be
Alquist, et al
used in schools.
Governor Reagan said: "This bill invites retaliatory legislation from
other states.'
SB 657
Increases junior college district board
Rodda
members pay to $60 per month.
Governor Reagan said that, except in the largest school districts, mem-
bers "consider their assignments as a public service. I can find no
reason to modify this basic philosophy."
SB 665
Requires the deposit of all fees for copies
Danielson
of documents and reports, the cost of which
is charged to the Transportation Rate Fund,
in that fund.
Governor Reagan said that the "present state of the general fund pre-
c'udes favorable consideration" of this bill because of the annual loss
of approximately $51,000 to the general fund.
2
SB 671
Requires the state librarian to have tape
Way, et al
recordings available for the blind. Appro-
priates $15,000 for this purpose.
Governor Reagan said: "There is no immediate necessity to provide tapes
in addition to the records that are now distributed."
SB 674
Includes children with speech defects or
Grunsky
disorders among those for whom allocations
may be made to school districts for educa-
tional purposes.
Governor Reagan said that this will require an estimated expenditure of
$10 million over a period of years and that existing space could be
used instead of building additional rooms for part-time use.
SB 727
Increases the boardinghome care allowance
Alquist
for OAS recipients.
Governor Reagan said this increase would result in an estimated addi-
tional state expense of $2,827,000 in fiscal 1967-68 and $3,770,500
in fiscal 1968-69. "No provision has been made to fund the increased
costs contained in the bill."
SB 921
Eliminates the minimum costs which a public
Song
entity may collect against a plaintiff when
the plaintiff fails to recover a judgment
against the public entity.
Governor Reagan said that "there is danger in making piecemeal amend-
ments to the Government Tort Liability Act without first receiving the
views of the Law Revision Commission."
SB 990
Provides that all increases in Social Se-
Teale
curity payments after January 1, 1967, will
not be regarded as income or deducted from
the amount of aid granted to a recipient
of aid to the aged.
Governor Reagan said: "The old age assistance program is designed
solely to meet the needs which cannot be provided by other income. To
disregard Social Security benefits, even to a minor extent, is improp-
er. and tends to force a perpetuation on public assistance."
SB 997
Permits judges eligible to retire with in-
Miller
creased retirement benefits to serve addi-
tional periods without losing rights to
such benefits.
Governor Reagan said: "SB 997 is an effort to reduce the deficit that
currently exists in the judges' retirement fund. I question the
piecemeal approach to this problem."
SB 1051
Requires county clerks to have copies in
Song
Spanish of the state and countywide mea-
sures and of the instructions to voters
appearing on the ballot.
Governor Reagan said that the provisions of this bill cannot be recon-
ciled with the California Constitution and the elections code which
require the knowledge and use of English.
SB 1108
Allow operators of vending stands for the
Dymally
blind to enroll in a health benefits plan
under the state Employees' Medical and Hos-
pital Care Act.
Governor Reagan said: "Use of these plans as a means of providing
health and hospital insurance for persons not state employees is not
appropriate."
- 3 -
SB 1194
Provides for proportionate wage increases
Sherman
for non civil service blind and physically
handicapped workers of the California
industries for the blind when civil ser-
vice workers thereof receive pay increases;
provides a 4% increase for such workers.
Governor Reagan said: "The bill provides for mandatory wage increases,
regardless of the labor or product market, but does not provide for
financial assistance which will be necessary since the additional cost
cannot be recovered in the marketplace."
SB 1219
Prohibits licensing of new schools of cos-
Short
metology until 61st day after final adjourn-
ment of the Iegislature's 1968 regular
session.
Governor Reagan said: "I seriously question the need for a moratorium
on the licensing of cosmetology schools while the Legislature is study-
ing the cosmetology industry."
SB 1226
Establishes a Conservation Education Service
Moscone & Lagomarsino
to encourage development of conservation
education.
Governor Reagan pointed out that the Department of Education is cur-
-1;
rently conducting a federally-financed study in this area.
SB 1269
Eliminates the requirement that foreign
Dolwig
banks be approved for Federal deposit in-
surance corporation insurance before ac-
cepting deposits.
Governor Reagan said: "It is generally agreed that FDIC insurance pro-
"ides the best protection for the depositor. Depositors in all Calif-
ornia banks enjoy the protection of such insurance. I can find no
reason why a foreign branch bank should be treated differently than
a California bank.
SB 1357
Includes juvenile hall employees who are
Grunsky
actively and principally engaged in pro-
viding care, custody and control of de-
tained children and youths in definition
of "local safety member".
Governor Reagan said this classification was designed for "personnel
subject to high physical standards and hazards incident to active law
enforcement work" and that juvenile hall employees do not meet this
criteria.
SB 1496
Exempts transportation of earth, rock,
Way
stone, gravel or sand in relation to a pub-
lic works construction project, other than
that from a commercial producing plant,
from the coverage of the Highway Carriers'
Act.
Governor Reagan said: "The author has requested that consideration of
this bill be deferred until next year."
SB 1533
Changes the requirements for admission to
Short
the certified shorthand reporters examina-
tion; requires notaries public and official
superior and municipal court reporters pro
tempore to be licensed certified shorthand
reporters; requires use of certified short-
hand reporters for taking depositions.
Governor Reagan said this bill creates a conflict between sections of
the Business and Professional Code and the Code of Civil Procedure
which would cast doub: on deposition practices statewides and that he
would "be happy to CO isider this bill next year when this conflict is
corrected."

Governor Ronald Reagan announced today that he has vetoed the
following bills:
AB 15
Changes the definition of "veteran" for purposes of the
Powers
educational assistance and indigent benefit programs;
requires educational assistance program to be so financed
that benefits will be available to all applicants
regardless of total cost.
Governor Reagan said: "This bill adds substantially to the cost of the
veterans educational assistance and indigent benefit programs. These
programs as presently constituted provide adequate assistance to the
California veteran and his family."
AB 40
Entitles the unremarried widow of a veteran who had not
Powers
filed for benefits under the Veterans' Farm and Home
Purchase Act of 1943, to these benefits.
Governor Reagan pointed out that the California Constitution makes no
provision for aid to the Vidov or family of a veteran and that
Proposition 12, which sought to provide for veterans' widcw 0 was
defeated by the people.
AB 122
Provides that cities and counties may receive aid to
Powers
train municipal court marshals and deputy marshals.
Governor Reagan said that "insufficient funds" are available and that
inclusion of these persons would "reduce funds available for training
of public officers and deputy sheriffs."
AB 398
Provides that the occupancy value of a home shall not
Quimby,
be considered income or resources of a welfare recip-
Burton, et al ient and shall not be deducted from a grant of aid.
Governor Reagan said this "will increase welfare expenditures by
approximately $1.4 million annually of which $609,000 comes from the
state general fund. The increased costs were not provided for in the
1967-68 expenditure program."
AB 446
Instructs public agencies to cooperate with counties in
Veneman,
establishing work experience and training projects for
Chappie,
recipient of aid; authorizes additional grants for
et al
famil as participating; requires Department of Social
Welfare to provide child care services.
Governor Reagan said: "The ceiling placed on total expenditures for
this program is limited to the 1967-68 fiscal year. However, there is
no limitation on subsequent year expenditures, thereby resulting in an
open-ended outlay of general fund money."
AB 479
Establishes a conservation education service to encour-
Brown
age development of conservation education.
Governor Reagan pointed out the Department of Education is currently
conducting a federally-financed study in this area.
AB 482
Provides that, notwithstanding any other provision of
Brown
law, property appropriated for a public use as a park
is prima facie evidence that it has been appropriated
for the most necessary public use.
Governor Reagan pointed out that litigation would result in "almost
every case in order to defeat the presumption that park use is the
highest public use value. The presumption could even be extended to
situations where private persons could form a park district and dedi-
cate property to park use, for the sole purpose of blocking the free-
way or other improvement. The procedural problems raised by the bill
are overwhelming."
-1-
AB 504
Requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction to
Miller, Ralph
provide an allowance, commencing in 1967-68 fiscal, to
& Fong
local school districts eligible for state equalization
aid when at least three percent of the average daily
attendance in the preceding fiscal year consists of
pupils residing on properties of the University of
California in living quarters established by the
University.
Governor Reagan said: "The additional cost of this bill, estimated at
$250,000, is not included in the 1967-68 budget. In addition, compen-
sation by the state is already made in the Foundation Aid Program.
Since assessed valuation per total district A.D.A. goes down due to
attendance of students who reside on tax exempt land, the state's
equalization aid effort is increased."
AB 507
Authorizes member of Teachers' Retirement System to
Knox
elect not to receive credit for time served outside
this state in a status which, in the state, is a
requisite for membership; authorizes member to apply
for retirement if he rendered additional service in a
status requisite for membership in the system for at
least one year after June 30, 1950.
Governor Reagan said: "AB 507 is intended to have only limited appli-
cation. However, it appears that a substantial number of teachers
could qualify for additional retirement benefits under the bill. The
matter of teacher retirement benefits should not be approved on a
piecemeal basis."
AB 740
Increased retirement allowances for annuitants of the
Monagan
State Employees' Retirement System on a sliding scale
from 2 percent to 10 percent.
Governor Reagan said: "No money is available this year to provide
cost-of-living increases for retired state employees. Provision will
be made in the 1968-69 budget for these needed cost-of-living increases."
AB 769
Eliminates exclusion of maintenance work from require-
Burton
ment that prevailing rate of wage be paid in public
works, but limits application to maintenance work
performed under contract, and not that performed by
public employees; appropriates $50,206 for support of
Department of Industrial Relations.
Governor Reagan said: "AB 769 does not provide funds for the addi-
tional work that will be required by the Department of Public Works and
by the Office of Architecture and Construction to implement this law.
There is also some question whether the benefits to be derived from
this measure are commensurate with the heavy administrative costs
involved."
AB 845
Requires school districts to pay tuition for the public
Leroy Greene
or private school education of mentally retarded and
physically handicapped minors when the state cannot
provide such services.
Governor Reagan said: "AB 845 would commit the state to expenditures
for which no funds are presently available."
AB 861
Adds juvenile halls to the places to be inspected by
Brown &
the courts and youth authority for suitability for
Burton
confinement of minors.
Governor Reagan said: "Existing law adequately protects the juvenile
confined in a jail or juvenile hall. If a problem exists with respect
to a given juvenile hall, it can be resolved at the local level. I
can find no reason for further state regulation at this time."
AB 895
Permits the Department of Mental Hygiene to contract
Zenovich
with the Department of Public Health or regional centers
to perform preadmission and post-hospital services;
appropriates $499,241 for establishing three new re-
gional centers.
Governor Reagan said: "I do not question the need for additional re-
gional centers; however, the full-year costs of the three additional
centers proposed by AB 895 would be $2,250,000. The bill commits the
state to expenditures for which no funds are presently available. I
plan to make every effort to resolve the problem of providing funds for
the additional centers."
-2-
AB 926
Allows the Office of Administrative Procedure to adopt,
Foran
amend, or repeal such rules and regulations as it deems
necessary to fulfill the purpose of the Administrative
Procedure Act.
Governor Reagan said that since AB 926 was introduced as a companion
measure to AB 925 which was not enacted, "there is no present need for
such authority."
AB 1035
Provides that the first $50 of earnings of an eligible
Burton,
needy child will not be considered income by the family
et al
unit in determining amount of assistance to be granted
family unit under AFDC program.
Governor Reagan said: "This measure will result in expenditures not
included in the 1967-68 budget and will tend to encourage children
under the AFDC program to become employed instead of completing their
education."
AB 1042
Establishes a filing fee of $25 for the Office of County
Fenton,
Central Committeeman in counties with populations in
et al
excess of 100,000; prohibits County Central Committees
in counties with populations in excess of 100,000 from
collecting dues.
Governor Reagan said: "I believe that each County Central Committee
should retain the right to charge dues."
AB 1195
Provides that when two or more insurance policies insure
Knox
the same loss and one of them covers a commercial
business enterprise, including but not limited to the
leasing of automobiles, such policies may contain per-
missive provisions; authorizes such provisions to state
that policies insuring the enterprise or its agent are
not applicable as primary coverage, but as excess cover-
age if another policy insures the same loss.
Governor Reagan said: "AB 1195 would tend to adversely affect pri-
vate automobile insurance rates by including the accident loss ratio
of vehicle lessors in the computation of such rates."
AB 1229
Extends medical and hospital coverage under the Meyers-
Meyers,
Geddes Act to one-time state employees provided they
Z'berg &
are receiving a state retirement allowance.
Milias
Governor Reagan said: "Addition of more annuitants will increase
the costs of coverage for current employees because of the same
contribution rates for employees and annuitants and the generally
greater cost of annuitant coverage."
AB 1258
Provides corporate taxpayers an additional deduction
Burton &
from gross income of amounts equal to 25 percent paid
Bagley
or incurred to employ or train a disadvantaged person.
Governor Reagan said: "The bill as written could result in substan-
tial abuse of the training programs by certain employers. Any measure
of this type must have adequate safeguards to insure that disadvantaged
persons are receiving meaningful employment training."
AB 1278
Increases survivor benefits under the State Teachers'
Porter
Retirement System by approximately 10 percent.
Governor Reagan said: "This bill liberalizes a program already in
financial trouble without providing for increased contributions to
offset the increase in annual costs of $150,000 to $200,000."
AB 1279
Exempts from the requirement of prior submission to and
Milias
approval by Department of Finance requests and budget
submissions to the federal government for state college
programs for loans, grants, compensation or other
financial assistance.
Governor Reagan said: "At the present time financial aid administra-
tion costs are budgeted at about $630,000, half of which comes from
the general fund. Without prior approval of grant requests by the
Department of Finance, the costs of administration could increase out
of control."
-3-
AB 1400
Requires Department of Public Health to develop and
Biddle
carry out drug use and abuse educational programs;
appropriates $25,000 in augmentation of the 1967-68
budget for such programs.
Governor Reagan said that while he agrees with the need to strengthen
the educational programs in this field, "the responsibility to carry
out such a program should be clearly defined. This bill further frag-
ments the responsibility for program direction."
AB 1551
Requires the State Lands Commission to give written
Dunlap &
notice of the sale of state land to local governmental
Z'berg
entities and state legislators if a written request for
such notice has been made.
Governor Reagan said: "The State Lands Commission presently advises
local entities and other interested parties of the sale of state lands.
I can see no reason to revise the procedure."
AB 1615
Provides that the attorney general shall prepare, keep
Sieroty,
up to date, and cause to be distributed to law enforce-
et al
ment agencies, a statement in simple language, in both
English and Spanish, of the rights of an arrested
person..
Governor Reagan said this "places an additional duty on law enforcement
officers in connection with arrests which goes substantially beyond
the duties now imposed by statute and court decisions."
AB 1622
Permits a property owner to review appraisals of his
Knox
property by the State Board of Equalization in its
intercounty equalization sampling process.
Governor Reagan said: "Intercounty equalization surveys are not
intended to directly influence individual appraisals made by a county
assessor. This is a matter between the assessee and his county
assessor."
AB 1632
Provides an annexation procedure applicable to islands
Knox
of unincorporated territory which are completely sur-
rounded by incorporated cities and which are less than
100 acres in size.
Governor Reagan said:
"I
am
concerned that the bill does not give
the residents of such islands and strips a real voice in determining
whether they are to be annexed to a city. The residents of these
areas should retain their right to vote on such matters."
AB 1747
Authorizes Department of Corrections and Youth Authority
H. Johnson
to reimburse cities and counties for cost of maintaining
persons committed or on parole.
Governor Reagan said: "The present state of the general fund precludes
favorable consideration of the bill this year" since the cost "could
run as high as $1 million a year."
AB 1818
Includes children with speech defects or disorders among
Murphy
those for whom allocations may be made to school dis-
tricts for educational purposes.
Governor Reagan said that this will require an estimated expenditure of
$10 million over a period of years and that existing space could be
used instead of building additional rooms for part-time use.
AB 1906
Provides a statutory salary of $22,000 for the state
Z'berg
architect.
Governor Reagan said: "The matter of salary increases for statutory
positions should be considered as a total package and not on a posi-
tion by position basis."
-4-
AB 1910
Provides that the commercial salmon season is to open
Burton &
on April 1 during the next two years.
Thomas
Governor Reagan said: "The short-term gains derived from the earlier
season may be mcre than offset by the long-term loss of spawners and
by reduced catches of larger fish during the next two seasons."
AB 1944
Prohibits counties and cities from obtaining standard
Lanterman
road and street signs by force account and requires the
purchase of such signs by established bid procedures.
Governor Reagan said: "This bill interferes with the authority of
local governments to control their own affairs."
AB 2169
Adds the cost of supervision to those categories of
Schabarum
expenditures that qualify for payment to the counties
that provide fire protection and suppression services
in state wildland areas.
Governor Reagan said: "This bill commits the state to expenditures for
which funds are not available."
AB 2317
Prohibits Department of Mental Hygiene, after July 1,
Zenovich
1968, from employing a patient in a state hospital in
"patient labor" other than in therapeutic training
unless he is reimbursed for his services; requires
that funds owed to the hospital by the working patient
be deducted before such reimbursement is made.
Governor Reagan said that this measure imposes a "substantial adminis-
trative burden" for which state hospitals are not staffed. "Further-
more, it is not entirely clear under the California Constitution
whether or not patients in state hospitals who perform state work for
wages are exempt from the civil service provisions of the Constitution
and the State Civil Service Act."
AB 2439
Permits the establishment of not more than 20 three-year
Bagley
pilot programs directed to identification of mentally
gifted disadvantaged children.
Governor Reagan said: "The establishment of programs for which the
state must ultimately assume financial responsibility should be deferred
until the cost of such programs is more clearly defined."
AB 2541
Provides that if an applicant for, or recipient of, aid
McGee
to the blind has children receiving AFDC funds, to the
extent permitted by federal law, his personal property
allowance shall be governed by the highest allowance
possible.
Governor Reagan said: "This bill is inequitable. It distinguishes
between persons handicapped by blindness and those having other phys-
ical handicaps. In addition, it would encourage erosion of the
personal property limitation."
AB 2563
Redefines "psychiatric technician" as a person who
Dunlap
performs specified services under the direction of a
licensed physician or psychiatrist.
Governor Reagan said: "AB 2563 would tend to confuse the traditional
relationships that exist between psychiatric technicians, physicians,
psychiatrists and registered nurses."
-5-
AB 2569
Eliminates provisions prohibiting Department of Veterans'
Meyers
Affairs from acquiring a home under the provisions of
the Veterans' Farm and Home Purchase Act of 1943 where
the market value of the improvements exceeds $25,000.
Governor Reagan said: "The intent of the Veterans' Farm and Home Pro-
gram is to provide returning veterans with assistance in obtaining ade-
quate housing. Removing the market value restriction on home loans
will divert funds intended for this purpose to veterans already estab-
lished in the community who desire to obtain higher priced homes.
This is contrary to the intent and purpose of the 'Cal-Vet Program'."
