BILL NUMBER: AB 267 VETOED DATE: 10/01/2015 To the Members of the California State Assembly: I am returning Assembly Bill 267 without my signature. This bill requires the court to provide a criminal defendant with information about a wide array of potential consequences of a guilty plea. I believe ensuring adequate consideration of the various consequences of a criminal conviction prior to a guilty plea is the responsibility of the defendant's counsel, who is best situated to determine which advisements are appropriate and meaningful to the defendant. Sincerely, Edmund G. Brown Jr.
