TO THE MISSISSIPPI HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES:

GOVERNOR'S VETO MESSAGE FOR HOUSE BILL 1599

I am returning House Bill Number 1599: "AN ACT TO AMEND CHAPTER 958, LOCAL AND PRIVATE LAWS OF 2003, TO REVISE THE BOUNDARIES OF THE CHICKASAW TRAIL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AREA IN MARSHALL COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI; AND FOR RELATED PURPOSES" without my approval, and assign the following reasons for my veto.

Recently, I signed into law Senate Bill 2058, which is identical to House Bill 1599. Therefore, there is no need for House Bill 1599.

Respectfully submitted,

Haley Barbour,

GOVERNOR
