Governor's Message
To the Members of the California State Assembly:
I am returning Assembly Bill 2872 without my signature.
This bill requires the state to pay sworn members of the California Department of Insurance who are rank-and-file members of State Bargaining Unit 7 the same compensation paid to corresponding rank-and-file sworn peace officers of the Department of Justice.
While I appreciate the author's intent, this bill effectively circumvents the collective bargaining process and the California Department of Human Resources' salary-setting authority. By setting a salary for one state department's employees, in statute, the bill limits the state's ability to consider factors that impact the state or other state employee bargaining units when proposing compensation packages through collective bargaining.
For these reasons, I cannot sign this bill.
Sincerely,

Gavin Newsom
