BILL NUMBER:  AB 999
  VETOED	DATE: 10/12/2013




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 999 without my signature.

This bill would require the California Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation to develop a plan to expand the availability of
condoms to all California prisons.

The Department currently allows family visitors to bring condoms for
the purpose of the family overnight visitation program. While
expansion of the program may be warranted, the Department should
evaluate and implement this expansion carefully and within its
existing authority.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
