VETOES

court and the governmental entities concerned, and I am
satisfied that such language can be written into the
law that will satisfy all the requirements of due
process and not impose burdens on the motorists,
governmental entities, or the court.

Finally, in reluctantly requesting the veto of this
bill, the Chief Judge informs me that he has discussed his
concerns with the measure's sponsor, has advised him that
the court's administrative staff and its Administrative
Judges will draft amendments that would satisfy its laudable

For these reasons I have decided to veto Senate Bill
