California Gov. Gavin Newsom vetoed a bill Sunday that would require all public high schools in the Golden State to make free condoms available to students.
The Democrat said he decided to return Senate Bill 541 without his signature because the economically stressed state — with more than 4,000 public schools — doesn’t have the funding for such an extensive program.
The legislation, introduced by State Sen. Caroline Menjivar, aims to prevent and reduce unintended teen pregnancies and the spread of sexually transmitted infections among high school students.
