BILL NUMBER: AB 806 VETOED DATE: 10/12/2009 To the Members of the California State Assembly: I am returning Assembly Bill 806 without my signature. This bill would require the court to advise a defendant that if he or she is deported from the United States and returns illegally, he or she could be charged with federal offenses, as specified. All criminal convictions have the potential to adversely affect a defendant who thereafter commits further crimes. There is simply no reason for state courts to admonish a defendant on the consequences of committing future, potential federal crimes. For these reasons I am unable to sign this bill. Sincerely, Arnold Schwarzenegger
