BILL NUMBER:  AB 1592
  VETOED	DATE: 09/25/2014




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 1592 without my signature.

I appreciate the author's efforts to highlight, monitor and reduce
the burden of diabetes in the state. Unfortunately, the Department of
Public Health already submitted its Diabetes Burden Report to the
federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as required, and
is unable to withdraw the report to include additional information
prescribed by the bill.

Instead, I will direct the Department of Public Health and the
Department of Health Care Services to work with the author and
stakeholders to provide the information sought by the bill, so that
lawmakers and others will have the facts necessary to assess and
further direct our collective effort to reduce the prevalence of
diabetes in our state.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
