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.
