BILL NUMBER:  AB 888
  VETOED	DATE: 10/09/2013




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 888 without my signature.

This bill allows the State Bar to bring a civil action for the
unlawful practice of law.

We already have adequate enforcement mechanisms and remedies to stop
the unlicensed practice of law through the existing powers of the
State Bar or through the authority of the Attorney General and local
prosecutors to bring civil and criminal actions.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
