BILL NUMBER:  AB 80
  VETOED	DATE: 10/10/2015




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 80 without my signature.

This bill would establish the Interagency Task Force on the Status of
Boys and Men of Color.

How state policy can be tailored to promote the well-being of boys
and men of color is profoundly important.  These issues, however, are
best addressed through concrete actions, not another non-binding
commission.  The Legislature and the Administration are working on
the critical issues raised by this bill, such as the Local Control
Funding Formula, healthcare expansion and criminal justice reform.
Much more can be done, and I am committed to advancing this work.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
