To the Honorable Members of the

Illinois House of Representatives

93^rd General Assembly

Pursuant to Article IV, Section 9(b) of the Illinois Constitution of 1970, I hereby veto House Bill 2981, entitled “AN ACT concerning the regulation of professions.”   I recognize and appreciate the hard work of all the sponsors in passing this legislation.  However, House Bill 2981 contains identical language as Public Act 93-0999, effective August 23, 2004. 

For this reason, I hereby veto and return House Bill 2981.

Sincerely,

ROD R. BLAGOJEVICH

Governor
