To the Honorable Members of the
Illinois Senate
93rd General Assembly
Pursuant to Article IV, Section 9(b) of the Illinois Constitution of 1970, I hereby veto Senate Bill 2374, entitled “AN ACT concerning vehicles.”
Last year, the General Assembly presented the same legislation for my review. I studied the issues involved and for safety reasons, I vetoed that bill. I am unaware of any change in the safety issues I considered last year. I remain opposed to increasing the speed limit to 65 miles per hour for these large trucks.
For this reason, I hereby veto and return Senate Bill 2374.
Sincerely,
s/ROD R. BLAGOJEVICH
Governor
