Jerry Brown finished his work yesterday signing and vetoing legislation sent to him by the Legislature in 2015. Major positives for the League this year were his signatures on AB 2 (Alejo), which establishes a new economic development tool for poorer communities, and the medical marijuana regulatory bill package AB 243 (Wood), AB 266 (Bonta, Cooley, Jones-Sawyer, Lackey and Wood), and SB 643 (McGuire). Disappointments included the veto of AB 35 (Chiu and Atkins), which would have increased the availability of affordable housing tax credits by $100 million, and his signature on several measures which erode local land use and contracting flexibility. |
