BILL NUMBER: AB 2707 VETOED DATE: 09/27/2016 To the Members of the California State Assembly: I am returning Assembly Bill 2707 without my signature. This bill creates a cause of action to enforce a prohibition on racial profiling of consumers. The Unruh Civil Rights Act -- in a more expansive way -- already prohibits the racial discrimination covered by this bill. Moreover, the state has vested in the Department of Fair Employment and Housing a full range of strong enforcement authority, including for those claims dealing with racial profiling. Sincerely, Edmund G. Brown Jr.
