Governor Ronald Reagan today announced the signing
of his first bill passed by the 1972 legislative session.
The bill, SB 7 (Chapter 1), authored by Senator John
A. Nejedly (R-Walnut Creek), allows units in cooperative
housing corporations to qualify for the homeowners'
property tax exemption commencing in 1972-73.
(SB 569 - Chapter 1752 - 1971, allows housing coop-
eratives to qualify for the homeowners' property tax
exemption commencing in 1972-73. Due to the length of
the 1971 session, the effective date of SB 569 will be
after the 1972 lien date. SB 7 eliminates any doubts
as to the operative date of SB 569.)

SB 228 - Alquist
Enacts new provisions relating to the preparation of
the impartial analyses of ballot measures, the
printing of ballot pamphlets, the contents of ballot
pamphlets and the preparation of ballot pamphlet
appendices. The bill provides that the legislative
analyst rather than legislative counsel shall prepare
the impartial analysis of each ballot measure, and
that the legislative counsel shall prepare ballot
pamphlet appendix.
REASON FOR VETO:
"There appears to be no compelling justification for
the changes proposed by SB 228. The bill would shift
the responsibility for analyses of ballot measures
from the legislative counsel to the legislative
analyst. At present the analyst only prepares a
financial analysis if a measure has fiscal effect.
Under SB 228, the analyst would do the 'legal'
analysis as well, and combine it with his financial
analysis. It is essential that responsibility for
the preparation of the 'legal' analysis of ballot
measures rest with those with the necessary legal
expertise. I believe that the legislative counsel
is better equipped to prepare such analyses. The
bill also repeals provisions which seem useful, such
as the format for ballot pamphlet titles, analyses,
and arguments. I am also concerned by the repeal of
Elections Code Section 3566.3, which requires the
legislative analyst to analyze a measure in great
fiscal detail. Instead, he is required to treat
fiscal effects in more general terms by this bill.
Perhaps the 'urgency' aspects of this bill have
provided too little time for debate and reflection
on its merits. There is nothing in the present law
to warrant such hasty action.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned,"
the governor said.

Governor Ronald Reagan today signed legislation that provides for
the use of residual funds in two Los Angeles teachers' retirement
programs in the event the teachers vote to join the State Teachers'
Retirement System.
The programs involved are the Los Angeles Unified School District
Retirement System and the Los Angeles Community College Retirement System.
(SB 1053)
Governor Reagan said he signed the bill only after consultation with
Senator James Q. Wedworth (D-Los Angeles), who sponsored the measure;
and coauthors Senator Lou Cusanovich (R-Los Angeles) and Assemblyman
E. Richard Barnes (R-San Diego).
They advised the governor of action taken June 1 by the Los Angeles
School Board assuring that the funds made available to the school
district would be used judiciously for the benefit of the educational
program and the city's taxpayers.
The legislation provides:
--Sixty five percent of the residual funds in the retirement systems
would be made available for unrestricted use by the school district.
Ten percent of this amount would go toward maintenance operations at
the schools.
--Twenty percent would be made available to support future district
teacher retirement contributions.
--Fifteen percent would be used for establishing a district annuity
reserve fund to be paid eligible teachers upon retirement.
Governor Reagan said he hoped today's action on the bill will provide
Los Angeles teachers with the information necessary to make an
enlightened choice on the question of joining 'the' State Teachers'
Retirement System.
Assembly Bill 543, authored last year by Assemblyman Barnes, made
it possible for local teacher retirement programs to join the state
system.

AB 29 - Priolo
Changes the definition of an "educational institution
Chapter 105
of collegiate grade" for purposes of the college
exemption from property taxation to include an

which would be omitted should Senate Constitutional
Amendment No. 6 be enacted by the voters.
Governor Ronald Reagan today also announced the following bill has
been vetoed.
AB 70 - Z'berg
Increases the required number of grand jurors from 23
to 27 in Los Angeles County, and from 19 to 23 in
counties having a population of 6 million or less and
200,000 or more. The bill authorizes the impanelment
of two grand juries in any county, one to inquire int
all matters subject to grand jury inquiry, except
public offenses, and one to inquire into public
offenses.
REASON FOR VETO:
"The problems of restructuring California's grand
jury system has been the subject of much recent
discussion. Last year I requested Attorney General
Evelle Younger to conduct a comprehensive study of
the state's grand jury laws. As a result of this study
legislation has been introduced which would improve
our present system of conducting grand jury
activities.
"Assembly Bill 70, by contrast, addresses only one
facet of the grand jury problem and would increase
rather than resolve some of the basic objections
which have been made due to the current system.
"AB 70 would complicate the method prescribed by
statute for the selection of grand juries, would
require the impanelment of new grand juries in some
counties every 30 days under certain circumstances,
would prevent a uniform method of administering grand
jury selection throughout the state, and would divide
responsibility for the utilization of the grand jury
process in criminal cases.
- 1 -
#349
"I feel that new legislation concerning grand jury
selection procedures, incorporating the principle
of random selection, should be part of a
comprehensive revision of the grand jury system.
Such an overall approach is included in Senate Bill
813, presently pending before the legislature.
"Because of the availability of comprehensive
legislation, and because of the deficiencies
contained in AB 70, I am returning the bill unsigned.'

Governor Ronald Reagan today signed legislation that will remove
a proposed seven mile stretch of the Pacific Coast Freeway within the
city limits of Long Beach from the state freeway and expressway system.
The legislation, SB 230, authored by Senator George Deukmejian
(R-Long Beach), was introduced at the request of the Long Beach City
regionally
Council and was not opposed locally or / in the legislature.
"It has been a policy of this administration that local communities
will be given a voice in the planning of transportation facilities.
Removal of a portion of this state highway from the freeway and
expressway system provides the opportunity for a cooperative review
of whether a freeway or some other transportation facility is most
appropriate.
This concept was incorporated in
last year's announcement of our Transportation Corridor Policy.
"I recognize that the deletion of Routes 1 and 22 from the
freeway and expressway system does not offer a solution to the
transportation problems in the City of Long Beach. But I believe that
this bill contributes to the climate of cooperation between the state
and local governments that will lead to a solution," the governor
said.

SB 42 - Dills
Restores the responsible relatives' contribution scale
in the Old Age Security Program to pre-Welfare Reform
Act of 1971 levels.
REASON FOR VETO: "One of the fundamental goals of our welfare reform
program was to strengthen the role of the family as
the basic unit of our society. Much of the
accelerating increase in reliance on public assistance
in our society has been a direct result of the
disintegration of the family unit. One of the
foundations of our American way of life is that family
members accept moral and financial responsibility for
each other before turning to government for help.
Based on this principle, children with adequate incomes
are expected to reasonably contribute to the support
of their aged parents. Surely it would be unfair to
expect all the taxpayers to foot the entire bill where
there are children who are both financially responsible
and able to help. Nevertheless, after the Legislature
passed the 1971 Welfare Reform Act which established
a revised payment scale for responsible relatives,
it was found that the levels of liability in the new
scale imposed hardships on some adult children. As
a result, the Director of Social Welfare, through
administrative action, initiated a reduction of the
scale. The tremendous success of our welfare reforms
have provided the funds necessary to offset the revenue
losses which a reduction in the scale otherwise
would have caused. In addition, the counties have
been instructed to further reduce the liability on
adult children in hardship cases. These adjustments
will provide an effective means of alleviating
financial hardship on contributing relatives. In
view of the steps which the Director of Social Welfare
has taken to resolve the problem, I do not believe
Senate Bill 42 is necessary, nor would it provide
a sound fiscal basis for operating the OAS assistance
program. Accordingly, I am returning the bill
unsigned."

Governor Ronald Reagan also announced today that the following bill
has been vetoed.
AB 557 - Z'berg
Conforms the procedures for the election of municipal
court judges to those currently used for the election
of superior court judges.
Reason for veto:
"This bill attempts to conform municipal court electio
procedures to those used in superior court elections.
As such, the relatively simple procedures used for the
election of municipal court judges would result in
unnecessary complications and inequity.
"This bill would contribute to the log jam in our
courts because of the time delay in filling vacancies
which might occur during election years. Moreover,
some judges would be required to face election only a
few months after they have been appointed to the bench
Finally, no transition period has been included in thi.
bill, and, as a result many judges would now face the
uncertainty of not knowing when their term in office
ends.
"I can see no reason for adding confusion to our
judicial election procedures. While this bill may be
a well-intentioned attempt to simplify these procedure:
in reality it can only complicate them."

a consultant (the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology) and staffs of the City and County of
Los Angeles, and is multimodal in scope. The purpose
of the study, in addition to identifying which mode
or combination of modes can provide the greatest
service, is to develop a systematic means of citizen
participation in the planning and decision-making
processes.
"The Southern California Association of Governments is
also completing a comprehensive regional trans-
portation study scheduled for adoption in 1973.
"Because of the obvious impact on other elements of
the transportation system, I believe no action should
be taken now which would impose constraints on the
conduct of these studies.

#393
Governor Ronald Reagan today signed legislation by Assemblyman
E. Richard Barnes (R-San Diego) and Assemblywoman March Fong (D-Oakland)
designed to reduce the incidence of venereal disease in California.
Earlier this year, Governor Reagan augmented the 1971-72 state
budget by $238,000 and directed the State Department of Public Health
to broaden its program against the spread of VD.
Assemblyman Barnes introduced the legislation, which was part
of the governor's program, appropriating the needed funds. In
addition, the bill mandates that part of the funds are to be used by
the State Department of Education to improve teaching methods in
public schools to combat VD.
Mrs. Fong's bill provides that school districts may teach
venereal disease education courses, and requires that parents be
notified when the courses are to be offered.
Under the Fong bill, parents are also given the opportunity to
examine instructional material used in the classes and the right to
withdraw their children by written request.
"The spread of venereal disease has become one
of the major health problems in California," Governor Reagan said.
"I believe the legislation that I have signed today will have a major
impact on the problem, and VD will eventually be reduced to a much
lower level.
"This will not be accomplished overnight, but with effective
programs in our public schools and the Department of Health, I think
the near epidemic of VD can be ended."

"The present practice of restricting the use of amber
Warning lights to those types of vehicles, which by

duties performed by municipal court marshals, the
need for such devices does not appear justified.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."

Chapter 424
by a provision authorizing salary adjustments for
court attaches in the Fresno Judicial District shall

Sacramento, California 95814
Ed Gray, Press Secretary
916-445-4571
7-20-72
#428
Acting Governor Ed Reinecke today announced that he has
intentionally allowed a bill to become law without his signature.
The bill, SB 1452 (Moscone D-SF), puts Senate Constitutional
Amendment No. 72 on the November ballot which would permit school distric
bonds to be issued on approval of a simple majority, rather than two-
thirds, of all votes cast for bonds to repair, reconstruct or replace
school buildings in compliance with the Field Act. Without this bill,
the Amendment would not go on the ballot until June of 1974.
"I decided not to sign this bill because my signature could be
interpreted as approving something to which I am definitely opposed.
However, I am in favor of allowing the people to decide this issue as
soon as possible," Reinecke said.
"A veto would delay a decision on the critical issue of bonds
to finance repairs for schools that may be damaged in earthquakes until
1974.'
The Field Act sets minimum earthquake safety standards for schools
which must be met by school districts by 1975. Reinecke said that
waiting until 1974 to resolve this issue would seriously hamper attempts
to meet the requirements of the act six months later making it impossible
to bring them up to specification and causing them to be abandoned.
Reinecke doubted that the amendment would pass.
"Any reduction of the two-thirds voting requirement can
perpetuate the problem of rising property taxes" Reinecke said. "The two
thirds vote requirement should not be modified for any type of bond
issue at a time when increasing property taxes are a serious problem.
In all probability, any decrease in the vote requirement will result
in more bonds being voted, and the resulting lien upon property can
only mean higher taxes."
Article 4, Section 10 (a) of the California Constitution provide
that a bill presented to the governor that is not returned after 12
days becomes a statute. Midnight Wednesday, July 20, was the last
day.

has been vetoed:
SB 499 - Alquist
Permits academic and nonacademic employees of state
colleges to inspect their personnel file. The
employee is also given the right to review and comment
upon any derogatory information entered in his file.
REASON FOR VETO:
"I àm vetoing this bill at the request of the State
College Trustees and the Chancellor. They do not
argue against the intent of SB 499 which requires open
personnel files; but have very serious problems with
the approach which this legislation would impose.
"This bill touches on a particularly sensitive area
with respect to the records for academic personnel
because of the traditional peer judgment process and
the widespread use of faculty committees in the
appointment, retention and tenure process. I share
the Trustees' concern that the willingness of faculty
members to render objective and meaningful
evaluations of their fellows could be impaired by
the requirement that personnel files be open on each
campus.
"The Trustees currently have authority in this area,
and I believe these provisions should not be mandated
upon them. The Trustees employ about 25,000 people,
and I think these types of changes should be part
of a positive, total, personnel management program
adopted by the Trustees. Each state University or
college campus has changing needs as they mature.
This bill would deprive the system of the flexibility

#440
Human Relations Agency Secretary Dr. Earl W. Brian today announced
Governor Reagan has signed a bill to provide funds so that the State
Personnel Board can adjust the salaries of state correctional officers
to reflect updated salary inequity data.
The bill, SB 104, by Senator H. L. Richardson (R-Arcadia) augments
the salary increase fund up to $5 million for officers and employees
working in correctional institutions throughout the state. "This
correction of inequity of pay for similar jobs has been long needed,"
statedDr. Brian.
"The governor approved the augmentation because a recent study by
the State Personnel Board staff indicated that a larger inequity increase
was justified to reach closer balance with comparable employees,"
Dr. Brian said.
Senator Richardson, who spearheaded the bill through the legislature
indicated that the pay raise would be effective as soon as it is
approved by the Federal Pay Board in Washington. The amount of the
raise is designed so that it will be effective July 1, 1972, providing
federal concurrence is received.

system that portion of Route 77 from Route 580 in
Oakland to Route 93 westerly of Moraga.
SB 1392 - Alquist

pupils allowed for the applicable range in which the

Specifies that provisions of law extending certain
Chapter 523
disputable presumptions under the workmen's
compensation law concerning hernia, heart trouble,
pneumonia, and tuberculosis to district attorneys'
staffs of inspectors and investigators shall apply
to any appeal of such inspector or investigator
pending on January 1, 1972.
Governor Ronald Reagan today also announced that the following
bills have been vetoed.
SB 162 - Gregorio
Revises provisions providing for filling of vacancies
on school boards to authorize the board within 30 days
of a vacancy or filling or a resignation to make
provisional appointment or to call a special election.
The bill also makes identical changes for filling
vacancies on city councils.
Reason for veto:
"I am returning without my signature Senate Bill No.
162 entitled, "An act to amend Sections 1162, 1163,
1164, and 1165 of, and to add Section 1162.5 to, the
Education Code, to amend Sections 10202.5, 10210, and
10219.2 of, and to add Section 10202.4 to, the
Elections Code, and to amend Section 36512 of, and to
add Sections 36512.5 and 36512.6 to, the Government
Code, relating to special elections."
"This bill would remove the present requirement that
vacancies occurring on school boards be filled by
election.
"While there is no question that such elections can
incur additional costs, I am convinced that the
overriding issue is whether or not the people
themselves should have the right to select directly--
-at the ballot box--who will represent them in
formulating the educational policies of their schools.
"In 1970 I signed legislation which gave the people
a direct voice in the selection of their own school
board representatives. In my opinion, no compelling
reason exists to change that procedure.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."
SB 369 - Wedworth
Permits individual contracting agencies under the
Public Employees' Retirement System to elect the
highest year of compensation as the basis for payment
of benefits for local safety members.
Reason for veto:
"I am returning without my signature Senate Bill No.
369 entitled, "An act to add Section 20025.5 to the
Government Code, relating to retirement.

#453
"This bill would permit individual contracting
agencies under the Public Employees' Retirement
System to elect the highest single year of
compensation rather than the highest three year
average as the basis for payment of retirement
benefits for local safety members.
"Final compensation computations in a multiple
employer, multi-membership classisication system,
such as the Public Employees' Retirement System,
must be uniform. Variations within the system
can only create excessive administrative burdens
and further aggravate the already complex problem
of estimating and funding future benefits.
"The present three year basis for computing retiremen
benefits already is a very liberal provision and I
find no compelling evidence to support the need for
a different method of computing benefits for a
single category of employees.
" Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."

bill has been vetoed:
SB 370 - Wedworth
Permits individual contracting agencies under the
Public Employees' Retirement System to provide for
automatic adjustment of allowances of local safety
members on the basis of changes in the Consumer Price
Index without limitation.
Reason for veto:
"This bill would allow individual contracting agencies
under the Public Employees' Retirement System to
remove the statutory limitation on the amount of the
automatic annual retirement adjustment for the single
class of local safety members.
"In 1968 I signed legislation which for the first
time provided for an automatic annual cost-of-living
retirement allowance adjustment for all members of
the Public Employees' Retirement System.
"In 1970 I signed additional legislation further
liberalizing the amount of the annual adjustment.
Because the law already provides for significant
cost-of-living adjustments, I can find no justificatic
for signing a measure which would unfairly provide
a single class of retirees with special treatment in
the computation of their retirement allowances--
especially when changes in the cost of living affect
all retired members without regard to their profession
"In addition, this measure could only create an ever
greater demand for increases in local property taxes
at a time when our taxpayers are already severely
overburdened.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned."

Governor Ronald Reagan today took action to protect nearly 70 miles
of coastline and several southern California communities from the
proposed route of a state freeway.
Governor Reagan signed legislation (SB 1087), authored by Senator
Dennis E. Carpenter (R-Newport Beach), which deletes Route 1 from the
state freeway system between Torrance and San Juan Capistrano.
At the same time, Governor Reagan signed three other measures
eliminating additional portions of Route 1 from the freeway system.
One bill (AB 704) by Assemblyman Frank Murphy (R-Santa Cruz) removes
the proposed route between the city of Santa Cruz north to the Santa
Cruz-San Mateo County line near Ano Nuevo State Reserve. The other two
(AB 58) by Assemblyman James A. Hayes (R-Long Beach) and
bills, (AB 1322) by Assemblyman Robert E. Badham (R-Newport Beach),
deletes the freeway routes within their respective cities.
The deletions of Route 1 encompass a major implementation of
Governor Reagan's policy to move major north-south transportation
corridors inland where there are existing freeways to handle the
increasing traffic.
In signing the legislation, Governor Reagan commented:
"It is the policy of this administration that local communities
will be given a voice in the planning of transportation modes. The
removal of portions of this state highway from the freeway system
provides the opportunity for a cooperative review of whether a freeway
or some other transportation facility would be more appropriate.
"I recognize that the deletions of Route 1 from the freeway system
does not offer a solution to the transportation problems in the areas
effected by the legislation I have just signed. However, I believe this
action contributes to the improving climate of cooperation between the
state and local governments that will lead to a satisfactory solution."
"As a result of Governor Reagan's action, the only portion of Route
1 in southern California still in the freeway system is a one mile segment
connecting Route 105 to serve Los Angeles International Airport.
With the above exception, Route 1 has now been deleted from the
state freeway system from Half Moon Bay south to San Juan Capistrano.
Route 1, interacting with Highway 101, is still in effect from Half
Moon Bay north to the California-Oregon border.
