House Bill 361 is virtually identical to my Executive Order 01.01.2005.25. The
Executive Order, issued May 16, 2005, rescinded Executive Order 01.01.2003.08 by
establishing a successor Committee to the "Wolman Committee", which filed its
report on May 28, 2004. The new Committee will continue the work of the Wolman
Committee by studying relevant issues relating to water resources, including
conservation and protection of water resources and the adequacy of government
regulations relating to water resource management. This Committee will report its
findings by July 1, 2006.
House Bill 361 is not necessary as a result of my Executive Order.
For the above stated reasons, I have vetoed House Bill 361.
Sincerely,
Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr.
Governor
