To the Honorable Members of the Illinois House of Representatives

98^th General Assembly

Today I return House Bill 215 with a line item veto in the amount of $2,613,500.

This appropriation is duplicative of an appropriation in Article 35, Section 10 of House Bill 214.

With this action, all other appropriations in House Bill 215 become law. Within the appropriations of House Bill 215 are items that are necessary for the day-to-day operations of State Government, and appropriations that are for the capital expenditures of the State. Of those capital expenditures, many projects are funded as pay-as-you-go items while others are projects that are intended to be funded with the issuance of bonds.

It is the intent of the State that all or a portion of the costs of projects funded by appropriations made in this Act from the Capital Development Fund, the School Construction Fund, the Anti-Pollution Fund, the Transportation Bond Series A Fund, the Transportation Bond Series B Fund, the Coal Development Fund, the Transportation Bond Series D Fund, and the Build Illinois Bond Fund which may be eligible for tax-exempt financing will be paid or reimbursed from the proceeds of tax-exempt bonds subsequently issued by the State.

Therefore, pursuant to Article IV, Section 9(d) of the Illinois Constitution of 1970, I hereby return House Bill 215, entitled “AN ACT making appropriations” with a line item veto in appropriations totaling $2,613,500.

Item Veto

I hereby veto the appropriation item listed below:

Article	Section	Pages	Lines	Amount Enacted
22	305	111 112	20 – 22 1 – 3	2,613,500

In addition to this specific line item veto, I hereby approve all other appropriation items in House Bill 215.

Sincerely,

PAT QUINN

Governor
