BILL NUMBER:  SB 249
  VETOED	DATE: 10/09/2015




To the Members of the California State Senate:

I am returning Senate Bill 249 without my signature.

This bill authorizes the Department of Motor Vehicles to enter into a
memorandum of understanding with the U.S. Department of Homeland
Security, allowing the department to issue "enhanced" driver's
licenses, provisional licenses and identification cards.

While I support the purpose of this bill to allow easier passage
across certain borders within the Western Hemisphere, I believe that
there are other means, such as the U.S. Passport Card, that achieve
the same goal without imposing new burdens on the Department of Motor
Vehicles.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
