BILL NUMBER:  AB 337
  VETOED	DATE: 10/11/2009




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 337 without my signature.

This measure would require each court and probation department to
ensure that information regarding the sealing and destruction of
juvenile records is provided to each person for whom a petition has
been filed, on or after January 1, 2011.  While this information
could be helpful to those individuals that qualify, competent counsel
should already be providing this information.  Since this measure
would place an additional burden on government entities that are
already facing deep cuts to court programs and probation departments
due to the continuing fiscal crisis, I am unable to sign this bill.

Sincerely,



Arnold Schwarzenegger
