To the Honorable Members of the

Illinois Senate

93^rd General Assembly

Pursuant to Article IV, Section 9(b) of the Illinois Constitution of 1970, I hereby veto Senate Bill 371, entitled “AN ACT in relation to public health.” I recognize and appreciate the hard work of all the sponsors in passing this legislation.  However, Senate Bill 371 contains identical language as Public Act 93-0165, effective January 1, 2004.

For this reason, I hereby veto and return Senate Bill 371.

Sincerely,

Rod R. Blagojevich

Governor
