PROCLAMATION BY THE (noiernor of ffetf afe of Wtxas 41-2953 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. 1154 as passed by the Seventy- Eighth Texas Legislature, Regular Session, because of the following objections: The amendment to Senate Bill No. 1154 concerning library districts would have an adverse effect on the Village of Bee Cave and its citizens by negating a voter-approved sales tax for economic development projects. The bill requires a reduction in the sales tax rate of a 4B developnenl corporation if a library district and corresponding sales tax is subsequently created within the boundaries of the corporation. This would retroactively overrlTide the statutory petition and election process provided in current law. The Mayor and City Council of the Village of Bee Cave have commil:tec. to providing the Lake Travis area with a fully-accredited library to be o per. within three years. The library will be available to the public withlou regard to residency and funded from sales tax revenues from the 4FE development corporation. I support the intent of Senate Bill No. 1154 as filed. Therefore, by executive order, I am directing state agencies to make their printed publications accessible from their websites in an electronic format and furnish to the State Library a list of publications as they become available. 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 theeof by this public proclamation according to the aforementioned constitutional provision. IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I ]lave signed my name officially and caused the Seal of the State to be affixed hereto at Austin, this 20th day of June, 200;. S7 !l E 4I kC ~
