To the Honorable
Members of the
Illinois House of Representatives,
96th
General Assembly
I
hereby return House Bill 5055 with a specific recommendation for change.
During
this period of unprecedented economic tumult, many Illinois families have been
impacted by the foreclosure crisis. As Governor, I am committed to continuing
to help those who have been confronted with the prospect of a foreclosure and
ensuring fairness in foreclosure practices. I know that the members of the
General Assembly share this goal and will dedicate considerable time over the
coming weeks and months to address additional measures that protect the
citizens of our State.
Since
this bill was transmitted to me, I have been contacted by people and
organizations from across our State. It is apparent to me that there remain
outstanding issues to address in this bill. I am confident that by working
together the sponsors will be able to resolve these issues during the upcoming
veto session. For that reason, I recommend postponing the effective date of
those provisions of House Bill 5055 which would otherwise become effective
immediately until after the legislature has an opportunity to revisit these
issues.
Therefore,
pursuant to Article IV, Section 9(e) of the Illinois Constitution of 1970, I
hereby return House Bill 5055, entitled “AN ACT concerning civil law.” with the
following specific recommendation for change:
on
page 18, by replacing lines 15 and 16 with the following:
“Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect on January 1,
2011.”.
With
this change, House Bill 5055 will have my approval. I respectfully request your
concurrence.
Sincerely,
PAT QUINN
Governor
