To the Honorable Members of the Illinois House of Representatives,

96th General Assembly:

Today I veto House Bill 396.

This bill is duplicative of Senate Bill 310, which I signed into law on August 13, 2009. 

Therefore, pursuant to Article IV, Section 9(b) of the Illinois Constitution of 1970, I return House Bill 396 to the House of Representatives, where it originated, with the foregoing objections, vetoed in its entirety. 

Sincerely,

PAT QUINN

Governor
