Veto Messages

Subsequent to the final adjournment of the Regular Session of the Legislature, the following messages from the Governor were received:

TRANSPORTATION; SCHOOL VEHICLES

December 30, 2002

Today I have vetoed and am returning to you herewith, Enrolled Senate Bill 1398.

Enrolled Senate Bill 1398 would allow a boarding school to own and use motor busses for transportation of pupils to or from school or school-related events. Current state statute prohibits the use of motor busses to transport pupils without a waiver from the Department of Education.

Enrolled Senate Bill 1398 would allow boarding schools to avoid the authorization process which is provided for the safety of our pupils. The department has issued a waiver to the only boarding school in Michigan that currently owns motor busses pursuant to MCL 257.1810a. Their permit requires drivers to take school bus driver's courses, requires access to driver records and requires an annual inspection of the motor busses by the Department of Transportation.

Also, I disagree with providing a blanket exemption for one type of school that may encourage the pursuit of legislative exceptions for other segments of the passenger transportation industry.

For the above stated reason, I am returning Enrolled Senate Bill 1398 without signature.

Sincerely,

John Engler

Governor

This bill was returned from the Governor on December 30, 2002, at 5:11p.m.

SALES TAX; AERONAUTICS EXEMPTIONS

USE TAX; AERONAUTICS EXEMPTIONS

December 30, 2002

Today I have vetoed and am returning to you herewith, Enrolled Senate Bills 437 and 576. These bills would exempt from the sales and use taxes the purchase of an aircraft that is subsequently leased to a charter company.

I do not support this legislation for several reasons. First, purchasers of aircraft are already able to avoid the use tax on their purchases of these aircraft if they follow the appropriate procedures, which have been in existence for many years. Second, the provisions are retroactive to January, 1996. A seven year retroactivity provision is not warranted. The Legislature has already addressed this issue prospectively by passing House Bill 4507, which grants a 90-day window within which the taxpayer may structure his or her leases properly and register to collect and remit use tax on the lease payments. I supported this legislation and signed it into law as Public Act 255 earlier this year.

Finally, the uncertainty over the amount of revenue loss requires that any bills with a potential cost to the Treasury offer a compelling case for enactment. This legislation does not offer such a case.

For these reasons I am returning Enrolled Senate Bills 437 and 576 without signature.

Sincerely,

John Engler

Governor

These bills were returned from the Governor on December 30, 2002, at 5:12p.m.

INCOME TAX; BREAST CANCER RESEARCH CHECKOFF

December 30, 2002

Today I am returning to you Enrolled Senate Bill 1353.

I have spent a good portion of my 12 years in office trying to make the tax filing process in Michigan easier on the residents of the state. I have also provided financial support to many projects for research in the life sciences industry. However, I cannot support legislation targeting one specific area of research when the state and nation are facing numerous medical challenges and research needs.

For this reason, I am returning this bill without signature.

Sincerely,

John Engler

Governor

This bill was returned from the Governor on December 30, 2002, at 5:14p.m.

PROPERTY; CONVEYANCES

December 30, 2002

Today I have vetoed and am returning to you herewith, Enrolled Senate Bill 638.

Enrolled Senate Bill 638 would allow the State Administrative Board to convey five buildings at the Kalamazoo Psychiatric Hospital to the Kalamazoo Community Health board. This bill would also allow the Kalamazoo CMH to sell two parcels for fair market value with the proceeds used to fund housing services.

Enrolled Senate Bill 638 gives a local organization the expressed ability to sell a state asset and keep the revenue. If the State was so inclined to dispose of this property it would be sold at fair market value.

For the above stated reason, I am returning Enrolled Senate Bill 638 without signature.

Sincerely,

John Engler

Governor

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION; MEDICAL WASTE INCINERATORS

December 30, 2002

Today I have vetoed and am returning to you herewith, Enrolled Senate Bill 11.

Enrolled Senate Bill 11 amends Part 55, air Pollution Control, of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, 1994 PA 451, as amended (Act 451), to add requirements for rules that are developed to control emissions from the incineration of medical wastes.

Portions of this bill replicate and duplicate requirements contained under Part 138, Medical Waste, of the Public Health Code, 1978 PA 368, as amended (Act 368). In addition, the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality has promulgated a rule, pursuant to Part 55 of Act 451, to regulate air emissions from medical waste incinerators (Rule 933) that was effective on December 21, 2000. Rule 933 adopts the provisions of a federal regulation titled "Emission Guidelines and Compliance Times for Hospital/Medical/Infectious Waste Incinerators," in Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 60, Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources, Subpart Ce. Rule 933 deviates from the federal regulation by including a more stringent mercury limit. Enrolled Senate Bill 11 prescribes emission limits and requirements equal to Subpart Ce.

The differences between the definitions in Act 368 and those in Subpart Ce will continually cause confusion to regulated sources, especially over what is to be regulated as "medical waste" and pathological waste." This will be increasingly important as the United States Environmental Protection Agency promulgates regulations for pathological and other yet unregulated incinerators and the state promulgates rules based on these incinerators.

I believe Rule 933 adequately controls emissions from medical waste incinerators by adopting the federal standards for medical waste incinerators with the tighter limits for mercury.

For the above stated reasons, I am returning Enrolled Senate Bill 11 without signature.

Sincerely,

John Engler

Governor
