BILL NUMBER:  SB 416
  VETOED	DATE: 10/10/2011




To the Members of the California State Senate:

I am returning Senate Bill 416 without my signature.

This bill mandates specific topics to be included in the California
Health Interview Survey and the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance
System. Both currently undergo a rigorous and thoughtful process for
selecting questions.

Deciding what particular questions should be in these health surveys
is better handled by the current process, not the Legislature and the
Governor.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
