HB 643-FN-A-L, transferring the regulation of emergency medical services from the department of health and human services to the department of safety.

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
