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 BILL 342, with emergency clause, enacted by the Forty-Fifth Legislature, First Session, 2001.

This bill expands the purposes of the current Hospital Equipment Loan Act. I have signed into law House Bill 171, which irreconcilably conflicts with the provisions of Senate Bill 342. Therefore, I am vetoing this bill.

Sincerely,

Gary E. Johnson

Governor
