SENATE EXECUTIVE MESSAGE NO. 63

The Honorable Richard Romero and

Members of the Senate

Executive-Legislative Building

Santa Fe, New Mexico 87503

Honorable President and Members of the Senate:

I have this day VETOED and am returning SENATE RULES COMMITTEE SUBSTITUTE FOR SENATE BILL 856, as amended, enacted by the Forty-Fifth Legislature, First Session, 2001.

This bill creates the state judicial system study committee. The legislation is unnecessary; the Legislature already has the legal authority to create an interim committee, and therefore it need not enact a law to do so.

Sincerely,

Gary E. Johnson

Governor
