To the Honorable Members of the

Illinois House of Representatives

93rd General Assembly

 

Pursuant to Article IV, Section 9(d) of the Illinois Constitution of 1970, I hereby veto and return several appropriation items included in House Bill 3745, entitled “AN ACT making appropriations,” having taken the actions set forth below.

 

This veto message reduces the total appropriation in House Bill 3745 by $414,162, including a reduction of $257,262 in technical changes for reappropriations based upon the items’ June 30, 2003 unspent balances (reducing the reappropriations for actual spending through June 30, 2003), and a reduction of $156,900 for errors and items for which provisions are included in SB 1239, which is still under review.
