TO THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES:

GOVERNOR'S VETO MESSAGE FOR HOUSE BILL 1205

I am returning House Bill Number 1205: "AN ACT TO AMEND SECTION 41-29-181, MISSISSIPPI CODE OF 1972, TO REVISE THE DISPOSITION OF SEIZED PROPERTY; AND FOR RELATED PURPOSES" without my approval, and assign the following reasons for my veto.

House Bill No. 1205 is identical to and duplicates Senate Bill No. 2708 which has been previously signed into law. This veto is not intended to and does not affect the status of Senate Bill No. 2708.

Respectfully submitted,

RONNIE MUSGROVE
GOVERNOR
