STATE OF ILLINOIS
OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR
SPRINGFIELD, 62706
GEORGE H. RYAN
GOVERNOR
July 19, 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 4466 entitled
"AN ACT in relation to education."
House Bill 4466 seeks to restore the categorical system
of special education certification that has been altered by
the federal courts. It seeks to establish seven categories of
certification, including serious emotional disturbance;
learning disabilities; autism; mental retardation; orthopedic
(physical) impairment; traumatic brain injury; and other
health impairments. The bill also requires the State Teacher
Certification Board to issue certificates based upon the
qualifications for the appropriate areas.
Today, however, I have already signed into law Senate
Bill 1777 which is identical to this bill.
For this reason, I hereby veto and return House Bill
4466.
Sincerely,
s/GEORGE H. RYAN
Governor
