To the Honorable Members of the

Illinois House of Representatives

94th General Assembly

            Pursuant to Article IV, Section 9(b) of the Illinois Constitution of 1970, I hereby veto House Bill 3498, entitled “AN ACT concerning regulation.”   I recognize and appreciate the hard work of all the sponsors in passing this legislation.  However, House Bill 3498 contains identical language as Public Act 94-0528, which I signed into law on August 10, 2005. 

            For this reason, I hereby veto and return House Bill 3498.

Sincerely,

ROD R. BLAGOJEVICH

Governor
