BILL NUMBER: AB 2673
VETOED DATE: 09/30/2014
To the Members of the California State Assembly:
I am returning Assembly Bill 2673 without my signature.
The author intends to prohibit a victim of a hit-and-run accident
from settling the case through civil remedies in lieu of prosecution.
With trial courts facing severe backlogs, I am not inclined to
eliminate a means for parties to settle their disputes outside the
criminal court system.
Sincerely,
Edmund G. Brown Jr.
