To the Honorable Members of the

Illinois House of Representatives

93^rd General Assembly

Pursuant to Article IV, Section 9(b) of the Illinois Constitution of 1970, I hereby veto House Bill 1165, entitled “AN ACT concerning environmental safety.”   While I recognize and appreciate the hard work of all the sponsors in passing this legislation, I have decided to address the issue myself.  It will please you to know that my office is currently in the process of drafting an Administrative Order that will create a Computer Equipment Disposal and Recycling Commission. 

For this reason, I hereby veto and return House Bill 1165.

Sincerely,

ROD R. BLAGOJEVICH

Governor
