TO THE MISSISSIPPI HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

GOVERNOR'S VETO MESSAGE FOR HOUSE BILL 1539

I am returning House Bill Number 1539: "AN ACT TO UPDATE THE UNIFORM INTERSTATE FAMILY SUPPORT ACT; TO AMEND SECTIONS 93-25-3, 93-25-7, 93-25-9, 93-25-11, 93-25-17, 93-25-19, 93-25-21, 93-25-25, 93-25-27, 93-25-31, 93-25-33, 93-25-35, 93-25-39, 93-25-41, 93-25-45, 93-25-47, 93-25-49, 93-25-51, 93-25-53, 93-25-57, 93-25-59, 93-25-63, 93-25-65, 93-25-67, 93-25-77, 93-25-79, 93-25-83, 93-25-87, 93-25-89, 93-25-93, 93-25-101, 93-25-103, 93-25-109 AND 93-25-113, MISSISSIPPI CODE OF 1972; TO CODIFY SECTIONS 93-25-26, 93-25-26.1 AND 93-25-108, MISSISSIPPI CODE OF 1972, IN CONFORMITY THERETO; AND FOR RELATED PURPOSES" without my approval, and assign the following reasons for my veto.

On April 22, 2004, I signed into law Senate Bill 2851, which is identical to House Bill 1539. Therefore, there is no need for House Bill 1539.

Respectfully submitted,

HALEY BARBOUR

GOVERNOR
