To the
Honorable Members of the Illinois Senate,
96th
General Assembly:
I hereby
return Senate Bill 1576 with specific recommendations for change.
This bill
purports to separate the Racing Board from the Department of Revenue. Such a separation
has already been accomplished by Executive Order 09-05, which established the
Racing Board as an independent entity on July 1, 2009. In an effort to avoid
confusion, I am compelled to change this bill to reflect what is already the
law of our State.
Therefore,
pursuant to Article IV, Section 9(e) of the Illinois Constitution of 1970, I
hereby return Senate Bill 1576, entitled “AN ACT concerning State government.”,
with the following specific recommendations for change:
on page 1, by
deleting lines 4 through 23; and
on page 2, by
deleting lines 1 through 5; and
on page 2, by
replacing line 10 with “effective date of Executive Order 09-05”; and
on page 2, line
11, by deleting “Assembly”.
With these changes, Senate Bill 1576 will have my approval.
I respectfully request your concurrence.
Sincerely,
PAT QUINN
Governor
