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 House Bill No. 335 as passed by the Eighty-
Second Texas Legislature, Regular Session, because of the following objections:
House Bill 335 would require state agencies to submit a report relating to the
implementation and requirements of federal health care reform laws. While Texas
should make every effort to assess the impact of federal legislation on the state, I
do not think the mandate required by House Bill 335 is necessary, as this
information would be available upon request of state leadership. As such, I will
be working with state leaders to direct state agencies to provide information
necessary to assess the impact of overreaching federal health care legislation on
Texas.
Since the Eighty-Second Texas Legislature, Regular Session, by its adjournment has
prevented the return of this bill, I am 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
17th day of June, 2011.
