BILL NUMBER:  AB 1739
  VETOED	DATE: 09/21/2016




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 1739 without my signature.

This bill codifies a specific standard for allergy testing in
Medi-Cal.

The Department of Health Care Services already has authority to set
allergy testing standards and will be updating them later this year.
When it does so, the Department should not be limited, as this bill
requires, to considering just the guidelines from National Institutes
of Health.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
