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

I am returning Assembly Bill 2103 without my signature.

This bill would authorize the Department of Parks and Recreation (Department), until January 1, 2030, to purchase real property for Big Basin Redwoods, Año Nuevo, and Butano state parks, without State Public Works Board's review. In addition, this bill would require the Department to comply with new public hearing requirements for acquisitions related to those state park units.

While the intent of this bill is to streamline the Department's acquisition process for park units impacted by the CZU Lightning Fire Complex, its public hearing requirements may slow the acquisition process and would significantly increase the Department's costs.

In partnership with the Legislature this year, my Administration has enacted a balanced budget that avoids deep program cuts to vital services and protected investments in education, health care, climate, public safety, housing, and social service programs that millions of Californians rely on. It is important to remain disciplined when considering bills with significant fiscal implications that are not included in the budget, such as this measure.

For this reason, I cannot sign this bill.

Sincerely,


Gavin Newsom
