To the Honorable Members of

The Illinois House of Representatives,

100th General Assembly:

Today I veto House Bill 4290 from the 100th General Assembly, which appropriates funds for state employee wages from prior years.

An appropriation for this purpose was incorporated into the negotiated budget, Public Act 100-586, and this standalone bill is therefore moot.

Therefore, pursuant to Section 9(b) of Article IV of the Illinois Constitution of 1970, I hereby return House Bill 4290, entitled “AN ACT concerning appropriations,” with the foregoing objections, vetoed in its entirety.

Sincerely,

Bruce Rauner

GOVERNOR
