| To the Members of the California State Senate: I am returning Senate Bill 1155 without my signature. This bill would prohibit the head of a state administrative agency - defined broadly to include any appointed official who receives a salary based on their appointment - from lobbying any legislative or administrative action by any state administrative agency or the Legislature for one year after leaving their position. This bill seeks to expand the existing "one-year ban," which prohibits certain officials from lobbying their former agency after leaving office, to include lobbying the Legislature or other state agencies. Notably, this bill would not extend these same restrictions to members of the Legislature. I am supportive of efforts to increase transparency and accountability in our governmental institutions, but we need equivalent rules and restrictions across the branches of our government. I am committed to legislation next year that includes the same revolving door requirement for members of the Administration as well as the Legislature. Absent uniform requirements, this bill falls short of its stated intent to ensure integrity in the policymaking process. For this reason, I cannot sign this bill. Sincerely, Gavin Newsom |
