BILL NUMBER: AB 335
VETOED DATE: 10/11/2009
To the Members of the California State Assembly:
I am returning Assembly Bill (AB) 335 without my signature.
This bill is similar to AB 1043 (Swanson, 2007), which I also vetoed.
Like AB 1043, this bill would discourage out-of-state and
multinational employers from hiring California-based workers and
potentially contribute toward the growing problem of unemployment.
Additionally, the bill is unnecessary because courts are already well
equipped to determine when a choice of law or choice of forum
provision in a private contract should be enforced in consideration
of all applicable circumstances.
For these reasons, I am returning AB 335 without my signature.
Sincerely,
Arnold Schwarzenegger
