No. 58

HB 294, relative to state aid to municipalities for closure of certain municipal incinerators.

HB 295, relative to alternative kindergarten programs in cooperative school districts.

HB 375, relative to substitutions for disqualified and deceased candidates.

HB 503-FN-L, relative to the adoption of charter school and open enrollment provisions in cooperative school districts and authorized regional enrollment areas.

HJR 1, requesting that the federal government prohibit the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service or other federal agency from introducing wolf populations to the northeastern United States, especially New Hampshire.

SR 7, declaring that any deficit in the education trust fund be financed with new sources of revenue and not through reductions to appropriations in the state operating budget.

To the Honorable Members of the General Court: July 7, 1999

I am vetoing this bill because Sections 3 and 4 include an upgrade of the salary for the assistant insurance commissioner. I believe we need to conduct a comprehensive review of the unclassified salary structure for state officials rather than address individual salaries on a piecemeal basis. The Legislature has passed HB 414, which authorizes such a study. I will sign HB 414 when it reaches my desk.

I would support enactment into law of the remaining sections of SB 103 and have so advised the sponsor of this legislation.

Respectfully submitted,

Jeanne Shaheen

Legislation that was late crossing over from the house in the 1999 session, should be dealt with before the January 5, 2000 convening session. Therefore, the Senate will have session days in the fall to keep them within the 1999 session parameter.
