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 1986, entitled “AN ACT concerning public aid.”   I recognize and appreciate the hard work of all the sponsors in passing this legislation.  However, Senate Bill 1986 contains identical language as Public Act 94-0267, which I signed into law on July 19, 2005. 

            For this reason, I hereby veto and return Senate Bill 1986.

Sincerely,

ROD R. BLAGOJEVICH

Governor
