BILL NUMBER: AB 1060
VETOED DATE: 10/05/2015
To the Members of the California State Assembly:
I am returning Assembly Bill 1060 without my signature.
This bill would direct the California Health and Human Services
Agency to create a non-profit foundation to solicit donations to fund
participation in cancer clinical trials.
Numerous private organizations already perform this fundraising
function. While I support eliminating barriers to take part in
clinical trials, I am hesitant to place this new burden on the Health
and Human Services Agency which is managing a huge expansion of our
health care system.
Sincerely,
Edmund G. Brown Jr.
