                            STATE OF ILLINOIS
                         OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR
                           SPRINGFIELD, 62706
      GEORGE H. RYAN
      GOVERNOR
                              July 25, 2002
      To The Honorable Members of the
          Illinois House of Representatives
          92nd General Assembly
          Pursuant to Article IV,  Section  9(b)  of  the  Illinois
      Constitution of 1970, I hereby veto House Bill 5278, entitled
      "AN ACT in relation to the regulation of professions."
          House  Bill  5278  amends  the  Plumbing  License  Law to
      require the original registration fee or registration renewal
      fee for a plumbing contractor to be set at $100.  Public  Act
      92-338,  effective  August  10,  2002,  amended  the plumbing
      License Law to require that all plumbing contractors register
      with the Department of Public Health annually,  submit  proof
      of bonding and insurance, and pay an annual registration fee.
      The  Department  of  Public Health was given the authority to
      set the fees for registration and renewal  by  administrative
      rule.  The  Department has set the fees, by rule, at $100 for
      both the initial registration and the annual  renewal.  Since
      the  fee  level  now  in place is exactly the same as the fee
      level that would be set if House Bill 5278  became  law,  the
      bill  no  longer  serves  its  original purpose and would add
      unnecessary language to the statute.
          For this reason, I hereby  veto  and  return  House  Bill
      5278.
                                             Sincerely,
                                             s/GEORGE H. RYAN
                                             Governor
