To the Honorable Members of the

Illinois Senate

95th General Assembly

 

Pursuant to Article IV, Section 9(b) of the Illinois Constitution of 1970, I hereby veto

Senate Bill 121, entitled “AN ACT concerning criminal law.”   While I recognize and appreciate the hard work of all the sponsors in passing this legislation, I am concerned that this bill condones leniency toward sex offenders.

 

            For this reason, I hereby veto and return Senate Bill 121.

 

 

Sincerely,

 

 

 

 

ROD R. BLAGOJEVICH

Governor
