Governor’s veto message:
To the Members of California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 340 without my signature.
This bill would set forth reporting requirements for the Gun Violence Reduction Pilot Program. This pilot program was only recently funded in the 2019-2020 State Budget. Additional guidance related to the implementation of that program is premature at this time.

Sincerely,
Gavin Newsom
