BILL NUMBER:  AB 2747
  VETOED	DATE: 09/30/2010




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill (AB) 2747 without my signature.

This bill requires the California Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation?(CDCR) to maintain and operate a comprehensive
pharmacy services program for facilities under its jurisdiction, as
specified, and authorizes CDCR to operate and maintain a Centralized
Pharmacy Distribution Center?(CPDC).  Additionally, AB?2747 requires
CDCR to report specified information to legislative committees
relating to its pharmaceutical costs and operation of a fully
functioning and centralized pharmacy center.

CDCR is currently under federal receivership for its health care
services.  The Receiver has the authority to conduct the provisions
of AB?2747 and is currently in the process of implementing the CPDC.
It would be premature for me to sign a bill when the successfulness
of the CPDC has yet to be determined.

For these reasons, I am unable to sign this bill.

Sincerely,



Arnold Schwarzenegger
