TO THE MISSISSIPPI HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES:

GOVERNOR’S VETO MESSAGE FOR HOUSE BILL 562

I am returning House Bill Number 562: "AN ACT TO REENACT SECTIONS 27‑7‑22.3, 57‑10‑401, 57‑10‑403, 57‑10‑405, 57‑10‑407, 57‑10‑409, 57‑10‑411, 57‑10‑413, 57‑10‑415, 57‑10‑417, 57‑10‑419, 57‑10‑421, 57‑10‑423, 57‑10‑425, 57‑10‑427, 57‑10‑429, 57‑10‑431, 57‑10‑433, 57‑10‑435, 57‑10‑437, 57‑10‑439, 57‑10‑441, 57‑10‑443, 57‑10‑445 AND 57‑10‑447, MISSISSIPPI CODE OF 1972, WHICH PROVIDE FOR BONDS TO FINANCE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS; TO AMEND SECTION 57‑10‑449, MISSISSIPPI CODE OF 1972, TO EXTEND THE DATE OF REPEAL FOR SUCH REENACTED SECTIONS; AND FOR RELATED PURPOSES" without my approval, and assign the following reasons for my veto.

Today, I signed into law Senate Bill 2158, which is identical to House Bill 562. Therefore, there is no need for House Bill 562.

Respectfully submitted,

HALEY BARBOUR

GOVERNOR
