To the Honorable Members of the

Illinois House of Representatives

93rd General Assembly

 

 

Pursuant to Article IV, Section 9(b) of the Illinois Constitution of 1970, I hereby veto House Bill 209, entitled “AN ACT concerning discount prescription drugs for senior citizens and disabled persons.”  I recognize and appreciate the hard work of all the sponsors in passing this legislation.  However, House Bill 209 contains language identical to Public Act 93-0018, effective July 1, 2003

 

For this reason, I hereby veto and return House Bill 209.

 

 

Sincerely,

 

 

 

ROD R. BLAGOJEVICH

Governor
