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. 2403 as passed by the Eighty-
second Texas Legislature, Regular Session, because of the following objections:
I have serious concerns about the impact and appropriateness of House Bill No.
2403. In particular, I believe this legislation risks significant unintended
consequences. My strong preference is to conduct a thorough policy discussion
with Texas lawmakers, consumers, retailers and technology experts - and with
other states and even the federal government - about interstate commerce and the
structure of state sales taxes in the 21st century. That conversation is underway,
and I believe that a consensus can and should be reached that balances the
competing interests, respects federalism, and is fair and equitable. I call on the
legislature to review this issue further while we reach out to our federal delegation
and our friends in other states to build consensus.
Since the legislature 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
31st day of May, 2011.
