BILL NUMBER:  AB 1730
  VETOED	DATE: 09/26/2016




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 1730 without my signature.

This bill authorizes a pilot project in four counties to provide
services for youth victims of commercial sex trafficking contingent
upon an appropriation in the state budget.

There are numerous federal, state and local efforts underway to
combat commercial sexual exploitation of children.  In this year's
budget, the state provided $19 million to fund the development of
trafficking prevention and intervention services. Establishing a new
pilot program in this area should be considered in the budget
process.


Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
