"AN ACT"

To appropriate money for planning, expenses, and for capital improvements including but not limited to major additions and renovations, new structures, and land improvements or acquisitions, and to transfer money among certain funds.

Section 19.086

I hereby veto $818,171 general revenue for a lease purchase at the Northwest Missouri Psychiatric Hospital. A study is currently underway to determine the need for additional psychiatric care beds. Additional state funding should not be considered until the study is complete. A weak national economy is expected to depress revenue collections below original estimates for Fiscal Year 2002. A veto is necessary to help bring expenditures in line with available resources.

Said section is vetoed in its entirety by $818,171 from $818,171 to $0 in total from General Revenue Fund.

From $818,171 to $0 in total for the section.

Section 19.087

I hereby veto $300,000 general revenue for renovation of the Nevada Regional Medical Center. A study is currently underway to determine the need for additional psychiatric care beds.

From $300,000 to $0 in total for the section.

I hereby veto $200,000 for the appropriated transfer of funds from the general revenue reimbursements fund to general revenue.

TO THE SECRETARY OF STATE OF THE STATE OF MISSOURI

Herewith I return to you Senate Substitute for Senate Committee Substitute for House Bill No. 185 entitled:

To repeal sections 64.170, 64.180, and 64.342, RSMo 2000, relating to building codes in certain

counties, and to enact in lieu thereof six new sections relating to the same subject.

I disapprove of Senate Substitute for Senate Committee Substitute for House Bill No. 185. My reasons for disapproval are as follows:

This bill contains language that is identical to language found in House Committee Substitute for Senate Bill No. 86, hereinafter referred to as Senate Bill No. 86. Both bills are meant to allow residents of certain areas of the state to protect themselves by adopting local building codes that regulate construction, electrical wiring, plumbing, and other crucial aspects of buildings. My administration has supported this safety measure, as evinced by the signing of Senate Bill No. 86 on July 6, 2001.

Senate Substitute for Senate Committee Substitute for House Bill No. 185 contains one provision that Senate Bill No. 86 lacks, however. This section exempts any device, other than a device located in a public building, that is not used by the general public from state law that concerns elevator safety and inspection. Eliminating safety requirements as they relate to elevators, which are used so often by so many Missouri citizens, is detrimental to the public health and welfare of the citizens of this state.

For all of the above stated reasons for disapproval, I am returning Senate Substitute for Senate Committee Substitute for House Bill No. 185 without my approval.

Respectfully submitted,

/s/ Bob Holden

Governor

Herewith I return to you House Bill No. 725 entitled:

To repeal section 165.011, RSMo 2000, relating to transfers of funds in certain school districts, and to enact in lieu thereof one new section relating to the same subject.

I disapprove of House Bill No. 725. My reasons for disapproval are as follows.

The language of this bill conflicts with language found in House Committee Substitute for Senate Bill No. 543, hereinafter referred to as Senate Bill No. 543, which was also approved by the General Assembly during the 2001 session and signed into law on June 27, 2001. Both bills authorize a transfer of operating funds to the capital projects fund under certain circumstances. In addition, Senate Bill No. 543 contains a sunset provision meant to effectuate the intent of the bill, which was to authorize a one-time transfer of funds for the Campbell R-II School District. House Bill No. 725, because it does not contain a sunset provision, legislates more broadly than is necessary, especially considering that the nearly-identical Senate Bill No. 543 has obtained my approval.

For all of the above stated reasons for disapproval, I am returning House Bill No. 725 without my approval.

Respectfully submitted,

/s/ Bob Holden

Governor

To authorize the exchange of property interest owned by the department of natural resources and the City of Lexington.

This bill contains an incorrect legal description of the property to be conveyed. The correct legal description is included in Senate Bill No. 568, which was also approved by the General Assembly during the 2001 session and which was signed into law on July 10, 2001.

For all of the above stated reasons for disapproval, I am returning House Bill No. 909 without my approval.
