92_HB5278gms 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
