Governor's Message
To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 1867 without my signature.

This bill requires an employer of 50 or more employees to maintain records of complaints alleging sexual harassment for at least five years after the last day of employment of the complainant or alleged harasser, whichever is later. 

This bill, under certain circumstances, could lead to the retention of records for decades. It would also require complaints alleging sexual harassment to be maintained for the same length of time regardless of the result of the investigative process, meaning even unfounded complaints would need to be maintained.

For these reasons, and because current law already requires personnel records --including records of complaints-- be maintained for suitable periods of time, the time expansion of this bill is unwarranted.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
