BILL NUMBER: AB 1176 VETOED DATE: 07/01/2016 To the Members of the California State Assembly: I am returning Assembly Bill 1176 without my signature. This bill proposes to add an initiative that is nearly identical to one which will already appear on the November 2016 ballot. While I appreciate the authors' intent in striving to enhance public safety, I feel that the objective is better attained by having the measure appear before the voters only once. Sincerely, Edmund G. Brown Jr.
