To the Honorable Members of

The Illinois House of Representatives,

100th General Assembly:

Today I veto House Bill 5595 from the 100th General Assembly, which accommodates building trade associations by extending the filing date for annual submissions of demographic information for apprenticeship programs from March 1st to March 31st every year.

House Bill 5595 is an exact duplicate of Senate Bill 2637, which I signed into law as Public Act 100-0797. Enactment of House Bill 5595 is thus moot.

Therefore, pursuant to Section 9(b) of Article IV of the Illinois Constitution of 1970, I hereby return House Bill 5595, entitled “AN ACT concerning finance” with the foregoing objection, vetoed in its entirety.

Sincerely,

Bruce Rauner

GOVERNOR
