TO THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES:

GOVERNOR'S VETO MESSAGE FOR HOUSE BILL 1419

I am returning House Bill No. 1419: "AN ACT TO PROVIDE THAT IMPERSONATING AN OFFICER OR EMPLOYEE OF A STATE AGENCY IS A MISDEMEANOR; TO PRESCRIBE CRIMINAL PENALTIES; AND FOR RELATED PURPOSES" without my approval and assign the following reason for my veto:

House Bill No. 1419 is identical to and duplicates Senate Bill No. 2598 which has been previously signed into law. This veto is not intended to and does not affect the status of Senate Bill No. 2598.

Respectfully submitted,

RONNIE MUSGROVE
GOVERNOR
