BILL NUMBER:  SB 900
  VETOED	DATE: 09/23/2016




To the Members of the California State Senate:

I am returning Senate Bill 900 without my signature.

This bill would transfer $500,000 from the General Fund to the Land
Bank Fund and would require additional transfer of funds that would
be available upon appropriation for coastal hazard removal and
remediation.

I am directing the Department of Conservation to work with the State
Lands Commission to develop an inventory of legacy oil and gas wells
and other hazards along the California coastline to determine the oil
seepage locations, rates and environmental impacts.

Having this information will better inform what remedial actions
might be warranted for both the short and long-term, and appropriate
ways of funding the needed actions.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
