Scope and Contents

Veto messages are in the form of letters from the Governor to the Speaker of the House or the President of the Senate, depending on whether the vetoed bill or resolution is a House or a Senate bill. The message cites the bill by number and gives the Governor's reasons for the veto. Usually, the veto numbers are given also. The records of vetoes are photocopies of "Record of Acts Delivered to the Governor," a record series found in the Governor's Office records. It shows: veto number; House or Senate bill number; name and district of the bill's sponsor; date received by the Governor's Office; date vetoed; and title of bill.
