TO THE MISSISSIPPI HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES:

GOVERNOR'S VETO MESSAGE FOR HOUSE BILL 1008

I am returning House Bill Number 1008: "AN ACT TO AMEND SECTION 47-7-85, MISSISSIPPI CODE OF 1972, TO REVISE THE APPLICATION FEE FOR AN OUT-OF-STATE TRANSFER UNDER THE INTERSTATE COMPACT FOR ADULT OFFENDER SUPERVISION; AND FOR RELATED PURPOSES." without my approval, and assign the following reasons for my veto.

On March 13, 2006, I signed into law Senate Bill 2591, which is identical to House Bill 1008. Therefore, there is no need for House Bill 1008.

Respectfully submitted,

Haley Barbour

Governor
