To the Honorable Members of the

Illinois House of Representatives

93rd General Assembly

            Pursuant to Article IV, Section 9(b) of the Illinois Constitution of 1970, I hereby veto House Bill 361, entitled “AN ACT concerning law enforcement, amending named Acts.”   I recognize and appreciate the hard work of all the sponsors in passing this legislation.  However, House Bill 361 contains nearly identical language as Public Act 93-0209, effective July 18, 2003.

            For this reason, I hereby veto and return House Bill 361.

Sincerely,

ROD R. BLAGOJEVICH

Governor
