HARRY HUGHES, Governor

3863

This bill makes a series of changes to the Energy Overcharge
Restitution Trust Fund, including altering the membership of the
Board of Trustees and modifying the terms for the expenditure of
Trust Fund monies.

House Bill 1308, which was passed by the General Assembly
and signed by me on May 27, 1986, accomplishes the same purpose.
Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign Senate Bill 1053.

Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
Governor
