41-2948
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME:
Pursuant to Article IV, Section 14, of the Texas Constitution, I, Rick Perry, Governor of
Texas, do hereby disapprove of and veto Senate Bill No. 147 as passed by the Seventy-
Eighth Texas Legislature, Regular Session, because of the following objections:
Senate Bill No. 147 would require each state agency to adopt a risk
management plan that includes risk assessment and risk control strategies
as part of the agency's strategic plan. Current law already permits the
State Office of Risk Management to assist state agencies in risk
assessments and risk control strategies. This legislation would impose E.
burdensome mandate on all agencies, thereby creating additicnai
paperwork and diverting scarce agency resources from our agencies' n1-air.
purposes.
Since the Legislature by its adjournment has prevented the return of this bill, I a-1 filing
these objections in. the office of the Secretary of State and giving notice thereof by this
public proclamation according to the aforementioned constitutional provision.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have
signed my name officially and caused
the Seal of the State to be affixed hereto
at Austin, this 20th day of June, 2003.
