BILL NUMBER:  SB 1090
  VETOED	DATE: 09/26/2016




To the Members of the California State Senate:

I am returning Senate Bill 1090 without my signature.

This bill requires the Department of Public Health to allocate funds
to local health agencies for sexually transmitted disease outreach
and screening if there is an appropriation for this purpose in the
budget.

The 2016-17 enacted budget provides $5 million in grants to local
health agencies working to prevent and control sexually transmitted
diseases. While I appreciate the author's commitment to this
important public health issue, additional funding depends upon future
budget deliberations and decisions. Prescribing the direction and
use of future investments in this program is premature.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
