HOUSE EXECUTIVE MESSAGE NO. 107
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 879 enacted by the Forty-Fifth Legislature, First Session,
2001.
This bill would allow small business employers to purchase health care benefits as part of a consolidated purchase under the state Health Care Purchasing Act. This change in law would potentially create an additional burden to the state employee benefit program which costs are ultimately borne by the taxpayers.
Sincerely,
Gary E. Johnson
Governor
