BILL NUMBER:  SB 919
  VETOED	DATE: 09/29/2016




To the Members of the California State Senate:

I am returning Senate Bill 919 without my signature.

This bill would require the California Public Utilities Commission to
create special tariffs or other economic incentives for facilities
that create or augment local water supplies, including water
desalination and water recycling facilities.

Reducing electricity costs for water supply facilities can be
accomplished in a variety of ways, including time of use rates and
demand response. This bill mandates one approach that does not fit
all.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
