STATE OF ILLINOIS
OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR
SPRINGFIELD, 62706
GEORGE H. RYAN
GOVERNOR
July 25, 2002
To The Honorable Members of the
Illinois House of Representatives
92nd General Assembly
Pursuant to Article IV, Section 9(b) of the Illinois
Constitution of 1970, I hereby veto and return House Bill
4397 entitled "AN ACT concerning municipalities."
House Bill 4397 amends the Illinois Municipal Code to
provide that certain municipalities may adopt, by ordinance
or resolution, at least 180 days prior to the first municipal
election following the municipality's receipt of the new
federal decennial census results, certain numbers of aldermen
depending on population.
I fully support the provisions in House Bill 4397;
however, I have already signed into law Senate Bill 1635 that
contains identical provisions.
For this reason, I hereby veto and return House Bill
4397.
Sincerely,
s/GEORGE H. RYAN
Governor
