To the Honorable Members of the

Illinois House of Representatives

95th General Assembly

            Pursuant to Article IV, Section 9(b) of the Illinois Constitution of 1970, I hereby veto House Bill 4956, entitled “AN ACT concerning courts.”  I recognize and appreciate the hard work of all the sponsors in passing this legislation.  However, because this legislation raises fees for child care, I cannot support it.   

            For this reason, I hereby veto and return House Bill 4956.

Sincerely,

ROD R. BLAGOJEVICH

Governor
