BILL NUMBER:  SB 593
  VETOED	DATE: 09/29/2014




To the Members of the California State Senate:

I am returning Senate Bill 593 without my signature.

This bill would provide the framework to implement a state-level
pay-for-success pilot program.  This innovative contracting method
has merit.  For this reason, I have signed AB 1837 which authorizes
the Board of State and Community Corrections to provide three
counties with grant funding to use the pay-for-success model with
programs that reduce recidivism.

This bill contains broad authorization and specific contract
guidelines.  It also requires a pay-for-success contract to be
submitted with the proposed budget.  The budget is not an appropriate
venue for contracts of this nature to be approved.  Instead, the
contract details should be at the discretion of the department
authorized to implement the program.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
