BILL NUMBER: AB 2337
VETOED DATE: 09/25/2014
To the Members of the California State Assembly:
I am returning Assembly Bill 2337 without my signature.
This bill extends the driver license revocation period from one to
two years for a driver in a collision resulting in injury or death
who leaves the scene.
Currently, penalties for serious hit-and-run collisions can include
incarceration for an extended period, fines including penalty
assessments up to $41,131, and restitution. Moreover, conditions of
parole and probation can be imposed to prohibit driving.
While I consider hit-and-run collisions to be very significant
events, current penalties seem to be at appropriate levels.
Sincerely,
Edmund G. Brown Jr.
