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 3489, entitled “AN ACT in relation to state finance.”  I recognize and appreciate the hard work of all the sponsors in passing this legislation.  However, House Bill 3489 contains identical language as Public Act 093-0452, effective August 7, 2003.   

For this reason, I hereby veto and return House Bill 3489.

Sincerely,

ROD R. BLAGOJEVICH

Governor
