BILL NUMBER: AB 676 VETOED DATE: 10/10/2015 To the Members of the California State Assembly: I am returning Assembly Bill 676 without my signature. This bill would prohibit an employer from discriminating against job applicants based on the applicant's status as unemployed. This bill is substantially similar to the bill I vetoed last year. Nothing has changed. I still believe that the author's approach does not provide a proper or even effective path to get unemployed people back to work. Sincerely, Edmund G. Brown Jr.
