BILL NUMBER:  SB 747
  VETOED	DATE: 10/09/2011




To the Members of the California State Senate:

I am returning Senate Bill 747 without my signature.

This bill would order doctors, nurses and other licensed health care
professionals to take a brief "continuing education" course on how to
treat and care for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender persons.

I believe that respective licensing boards are better suited than the
Legislature or the Governor to decide these matters.



Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
