HOUSE EXECUTIVE MESSAGE NO. 22
The Honorable Ben Lujan and
Members of the House of Representatives
Executive-Legislative Building
Santa Fe, New Mexico 87503
Honorable Speaker and Members of the House:
I have this day VETOED and am returning HOUSE BILL
792, as amended,
enacted by the Forty-Fifth Legislature, First
Session, 2001.
This bill removes the 2003 repeal of the Public
Utility Act, and creates a joint interim legislative committee to review the
Public Utility Act and its affect on the Electric Utility Industry
Restructuring Act of 1999. Such changes
in the law are unnecessary: two
legislative sessions remain for the state to determine whether extending the
life of the Public Utility Act is necessary, and the Legislature already has
the authority to create an interim committee—it need not enact law to do so.
Sincerely,
Gary E. Johnson
Governor
