HOUSE EXECUTIVE MESSAGE NO. 85
The Honorable Ben Lujan and
Members of the House of Representatives
Honorable Speaker and Members of the House:
I have this day VETOED and am returning HOUSE BILL
774, enacted by the Forty-Fifth Legislature, First Session, 2001.
This bill allows judges to purchase up to two months service credit toward their retirement. I have already vetoed a version of this bill, Senate Bill 420, and do so again, because while I sympathize with judges whose terms will expire before they obtain full retirement benefits, I generally disfavor changes in the law that permit a certain class of public employees to avoid those requirements generally applicable to our state’s workforce.
Sincerely,
Gary E. Johnson
Governor
