$10,000. Under Senate Bill 586, however, any interested
person may seek an injunction if the Department does not
act. While there are provisions permitting the recovery
of a civil penalty also, the Senate Bill is unclear as to
who may initiate such action - the Attorney General, any
interested person, or both.

As the basic provisions of Senate Bill 586 are
included within the provisions of House Bill 319 and
since House Bill 319 is more clearly worded and more
effectively expresses the legislative intent behind the
two bills, I have decided to sign House Bill 319.

Consequently, it is unnecessary for me to sign
Senate Bill 586.

Sincerely,
