HOUSE EXECUTIVE MESSAGE NO. 80
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
746, enacted by the Forty-Fifth Legislature, First Session, 2001.
This
bill would create an Interim Long-Term Care Oversight Committee to help
determine how to implement the Long-Term Care Services Act and make
recommendations to the Legislature on adopting rules and legislation. However,
a Long-Term Care Committee already exists. It includes several legislators and
has been successful in numerous initiatives. The existing committee can address
questions about implementation and legislation concerning the Long-Term Care
Act. It does not make sense to create a separate and distinct entity when a
committee is in place with a proven track record of achieving results.
Sincerely,
Gary E. Johnson
Governor
