To the Honorable Members of the
Illinois Senate
94th General Assembly
Pursuant to Article IV, Section 9(b) of the Illinois Constitution of 1970, I hereby veto Senate Bill 471, entitled “AN ACT concerning criminal law.” I recognize and appreciate the hard work of all the sponsors in passing this legislation. However, Senate Bill 471 contains identical language as Public Act 94-0134, which I signed into law on July 7, 2005.
For this reason, I hereby veto and return Senate Bill 471.
Sincerely,
ROD R. BLAGOJEVICH
Governor
