BILL NUMBER:  AB 1744
  VETOED	DATE: 09/30/2014




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 1744 without my signature.

The bill would require the California Department of Aging to
establish and support a 13-member blue ribbon task force on unpaid
family caregiving, using only non-state funds from private sources.

The California State Plan on Aging, the California Plan for Alzheimer'
s Disease, the significant reports and action plans developed by the
33 Area Agencies on Aging, the Alzheimer's Association, the AARP and
so many others have produced ample evidence for knowledgeable and
caring people to recommend ways to improve support for family
caregivers.

Establishing another task force in state law simply isn't necessary.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
