To the Honorable Members of

The Illinois House of Representatives,

99th General Assembly:

Today I return House Bill 1052, which would allow the transfer of authority and control over certain private roads in Warren Township to the highway commissioner of the Warren Township Road District. Since its passage, the township and legislators have identified concerns with the bill’s potential cost to taxpayers and how these private roads would comply with safety regulations. I am returning the bill to provide concerned parties with an additional opportunity to address these issues.

Therefore, pursuant to Section 9(b) of Article IV of the Illinois Constitution of 1970, I hereby return House Bill 1052 entitled “AN ACT transportation”, with the foregoing objections, vetoed in its entirety.

Sincerely,

Bruce Rauner

GOVERNOR
