VETOES

This bill makes the statute of limitations for the crime of
conspiracy the same as the statute of limitations for the
underlying offense.

Senate Bill 305, which was passed by the General Assembly
and signed by me on April 29, 1987, accomplishes the same
purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign House
Bill 433.

Sincerely,

William Donald Schaefer

Governor

House Bill No. 433
