To the Honorable Members of the

Illinois House of Representatives

95th General Assembly

            Pursuant to Article IV, Section 9(b) of the Illinois Constitution of 1970, I hereby veto House Bill 909, entitled “AN ACT concerning health.”   I recognize and appreciate the hard work of all the sponsors in passing this legislation.  However, House Bill 909 contains identical language as Public Act 95-0336, which I signed into law on August 21, 2007. 

            For this reason, I hereby veto and return House Bill 909.

Sincerely,

ROD R. BLAGOJEVICH

Governor
