BILL NUMBER:  AB 2035
  VETOED	DATE: 09/29/2014




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 2035 without my signature.

Efforts have just gotten underway with the passage of this year's
budget to combat the commercial sexual exploitation of children, who
are also victims of human trafficking. Much discussion and
collaboration took place in developing the blueprint intended to aid
these young boys and girls. In fact, the budget provides a growing
proportion of funds for planning, prevention and intervention
activities.

This bill, however, is premature. More investigation and discussion
needs to take place before local authorities are in a solid position
to curb the tragedy of young people who are forced to work under
illegal and unacceptable conditions.

I am directing the Department of Social Services to assemble relevant
parties to explore all avenues that can be pursued to alleviate this
suffering.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
