State of Illinois
OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR
Springfield, Illinois 62706
George H. Ryan
GOVERNOR
July 12, 2001
To the Honorable Members of
The Illinois Senate
92nd General Assembly
Pursuant to Article IV, Section 9(b) of the Illinois
Constitution of 1970, I hereby veto Senate Bill 74 entitled
"AN ACT in relation to vehicles."
Senate Bill 74 amends the Illinois Vehicle Code to exempt
not-for-profit organizations from paying vehicle title fees
for motor vehicles. Senate Bill 74 also authorizes such
charitable organizations to sell the donated automobiles
without having to comply with the law related to licensed
vehicle dealers.
Although Senate Bill 74 might benefit some charitable
organizations by exempting them from the current state
requirements for automobile dealers, this legislation holds
the potential to reduce the amount of consumer protection
afforded to buyers of used automobiles by allowing new
incentives for unlicensed "charitable" car-dealers to operate
in the public marketplace. In addition, this legislation
could jeopardize the funding structure for the Illinois FIRST
program that currently enables the State to revitalize our
infrastructure, upgrade school facilities, increase green
space and improve the quality of life in Illinois.
For this reason, I hereby veto and return Senate Bill 74.
Sincerely,
George H. Ryan
GOVERNOR
