STATE OF ILLINOIS
OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR
SPRINGFIELD, 62706
GEORGE H. RYAN
GOVERNOR
July 25, 2002
To The Honorable Members of the
Illinois House of Representatives
92nd General Assembly
Pursuant to Article IV, Section 9(b) of the Illinois
Constitution of 1970, I hereby veto House Bill 5278, entitled
"AN ACT in relation to the regulation of professions."
House Bill 5278 amends the Plumbing License Law to
require the original registration fee or registration renewal
fee for a plumbing contractor to be set at $100. Public Act
92-338, effective August 10, 2002, amended the plumbing
License Law to require that all plumbing contractors register
with the Department of Public Health annually, submit proof
of bonding and insurance, and pay an annual registration fee.
The Department of Public Health was given the authority to
set the fees for registration and renewal by administrative
rule. The Department has set the fees, by rule, at $100 for
both the initial registration and the annual renewal. Since
the fee level now in place is exactly the same as the fee
level that would be set if House Bill 5278 became law, the
bill no longer serves its original purpose and would add
unnecessary language to the statute.
For this reason, I hereby veto and return House Bill
5278.
Sincerely,
s/GEORGE H. RYAN
Governor
