To the Honorable Members of the Illinois Senate,

96th General Assembly:

Today I veto Senate Bill 2121.

I would like to commend the sponsors for their work on this legislation. However, this bill is duplicative of House Bill 629, which I signed into law on August 11, 2009 and is now Public Act 96-245. 

Therefore, pursuant to Article IV, Section 9(b) of the Illinois Constitution of 1970, I return Senate Bill 2121 to the Senate, where it originated, with the foregoing objections, vetoed in its entirety. 

Sincerely,

PAT QUINN

Governor
