COMMUNICATIONS AND PETITIONS

March 4, 1997

The Honorable Carole Hillard
President of the Senate
State Capitol Building
Pierre, SD 57501-5070

Dear Madam President and Members of the Senate:

I herewith return Senate Bill 127 and return it with the following recommendation as to STYLE and FORM.

Section 2 of Senate Bill 127 twice refers to a “Division of Forestry” within the Department of Agriculture. The “Division of Forestry” has not existed since a law change in 1995. The responsibility for the functions described in Senate Bill 127 properly lies with the Department of Agriculture, not with the Division.

Because the final engrossed and enrolled version comes to this office without line numbers, the changes I recommend refer to the version of the Bill as passed by the Senate State Affairs Committee. On page 2, line 8 of the bill delete “Division of Forestry”. On page 2, line 11 of the bill delete “Division of Forestry”.

I respectfully request that you concur with my action.

Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM J. JANKLOW
GOVERNOR
