BILL NUMBER: AB 2217 VETOED DATE: 09/24/2010 To the Members of the California State Assembly: I am returning Assembly Bill 2217 without my signature. This bill would require courts to provide specific admonishments to jurors about communication through electronic and wireless devices. This bill is unnecessary. Existing law already sufficiently deals with communications among jurors. Moreover, this type of admonishment is better handled through court rules rather than by statute. For these reasons, I am unable to sign this bill. Sincerely, Arnold Schwarzenegger
