TO THE MISSISSIPPI HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES:

 

GOVERNOR'S VETO MESSAGE FOR HOUSE BILL 1584

 

I am returning House Bill Number 1584:  "AN ACT TO AMEND CHAPTER 991, LOCAL AND PRIVATE LAWS OF 1997, AS AMENDED BY CHAPTER 936, LOCAL AND PRIVATE LAWS OF 2001, AS AMENDED BY CHAPTER 957, LOCAL AND PRIVATE LAWS OF 2005, TO EXTEND THE REPEAL DATE ON THE LAW THAT ESTABLISHES THE LAUDERDALE COUNTY TOURISM COMMISSION; AND FOR RELATED PURPOSES" without my approval, and assign the following reasons for my veto.

 

Today, I signed into law Senate Bill 2059, which is identical to House Bill 1617.  Therefore, there is no need for House Bill 1584.

 

Respectfully submitted,

 

Haley Barbour,

GOVERNOR
