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 and return Senate Bill
330 entitled "AN ACT concerning education."
Senate Bill 330 amends the School Code by changing the
vocational center grant eligibility provision to provide that
an area vocational center, as designated by the State Board
of Education, may apply for and be eligible to receive any
school maintenance grant, federal or State technology grant,
or other competitive grant administered by the State Board of
Education that is available for school districts, subject to
the same restrictions applicable to school districts.
I fully support the provisions in Senate Bill 330;
however, I have already signed into law House Bill 2143 which
contains nearly identical provisions. House Bill 2143
differs from Senate Bill 330 by adding an immediate effective
date. As this legislation is important to the vocational
centers of Illinois, I think it more appropriate to sign
House Bill 2143, which has the immediate effective date.
For these reasons, I hereby veto and return Senate Bill
330.
Sincerely,
George H. Ryan
GOVERNOR
