Gov. Jerry Brown on Saturday vetoed a bill that would have extended the statute of limitations for civil childhood sexual abuse cases, the Orange County Register has learned.

Sen. Jim Beall, D-San Jose, the bill’s sponsor, said Brown’s office would not give him a reason for the governor’s decision when a Brown aide called Beall on Saturday afternoon to inform of the veto.
