GOVERNOR

August 5, 2003

To the Honorable Members of the

Illinois Senate

93^rd General Assembly

Pursuant to Article IV, Section 9(b) of the Illinois Constitution of 1970, I hereby veto Senate Bill 382, entitled “AN ACT in relation to criminal law.”  I recognize and appreciate the hard work of all the sponsors in passing this legislation.  However, Senate Bill 382 contains identical language as Public Act 093-0451, effective August 7, 2003.

For this reason, I hereby veto and return Senate Bill 382.

Sincerely,

Rod R. Blagojevich

Governor
