To the Honorable Members of

The Illinois House of Representatives,

100th General Assembly:

Today I veto House Bill 5595 from the 100th General Assembly, which accommodates building trade associations by extending the filing date for annual submissions of demographic information for apprenticeship programs from March 1^st to March 31^st every year.

House Bill 5595 is an exact duplicate of Senate Bill 2637, which I signed into law as Public Act 100-0797. Enactment of House Bill 5595 is thus moot.

Therefore, pursuant to Section 9(b) of Article IV of the Illinois Constitution of 1970, I hereby return House Bill 5595, entitled “AN ACT concerning finance” with the foregoing objection, vetoed in its entirety.

Sincerely,

Bruce Rauner

GOVERNOR
