Governor's Message
To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 1939 without my signature.

This bill would require that compensation provided by the California Victims Compensation Board for relocation expenses include the costs of temporary housing for a victim's pet for a maximum of three days at a cost of under $40 per day.

While this bill is well intended, a victim staying in a domestic violence shelter or other temporary housing situation will likely need much more assistance than this bill provides. It would be more appropriate to seek a different funding source which can provide a more comprehensive benefit that would truly complement the services that are now available.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
