California Governor Jerry Brown vetoed Assembly Bill 186 on Sept. 30, which would have allowed the city and county of San Francisco to open safe injection sites following a three-year pilot program, according to the governor’s office.
The bill, which was one of many that crossed the governor’s desk on Sept. 30, was co-authored by Assemblymembers Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco), and introduced by Susan Eggman (D-Stockton). It passed in both the assembly and senate floors before going to Brown’s desk in early September.
