TO THE MISSISSIPPI HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES:

GOVERNOR'S VETO MESSAGE FOR HOUSE BILL 1686

I am returning House Bill Number 1686: "AN ACT TO AUTHORIZE THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF LAFAYETTE COUNTY TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE LAFAYETTE COUNTY YOUTH BASEBALL ASSOCIATION; AND FOR RELATED PURPOSES" without my approval, and assign the following reasons for my veto.

House Bill No. 1686 is identical to and duplicates Senate Bill No. 3087 which has already been signed into law. This veto is not intended to and does not affect the status of Senate Bill No. 3087.

I urge the members to sustain the veto and reject House Bill No. 1686.

Respectfully submitted,

RONNIE MUSGROVE
