State Capitol
Charleston, West Virginia
Dear President Tomblin:
     Pursuant to the provisions of Section 14, Article VII of the Constitution of West Virginia, I hereby disapprove and return Enrolled Committee Substitute for Senate Bill No. 178.
     The purpose of Enrolled Committee Substitute for Senate Bill No. 178 is to clarify the process relating to name change process in the family court system. Regrettably, I must object to this bill in its present form because its proposed enacting section does not reflect the amendments made to section one hundred one, article twenty-five, chapter forty-eight of the code. A reasonable person would not be able to discern the amendments to that section without reading the entire text of the bill. Accordingly, as the enacting section is inconsistent with the substance of the bill, I find the bill to be constitutionally defective. For this reason alone, I must veto this legislation.
     Notwithstanding this action, and because the Legislature is presently in extended session, I urge it to take up the bill again, amend its enacting section and then return the bill to my desk for approval.
                              Very truly yours,
                               Bob Wise,
                               Governor.

     Heretofore disapproved and returned by His Excellency, the Governor, with his objections.
     The question being on the adoption of Senator Chafin's motion that the Senate reconsider Enrolled Committee Substitute for Senate Bill No. 178, the same was put and prevailed.
     On motion of Senator Kessler, the following amendment to the bill was reported by the Clerk and adopted:
     On page one, by striking out the enacting section and inserting in lieu thereof a new enacting section, to read as follows:
     That section one hundred one, article twenty-five, chapter forty-eight of the code of West Virginia, one thousand nine hundred thirty-one, as amended, be amended and reenacted; and that section two, article two-a, chapter fifty-one of said code be amended and reenacted, all to read as follows:.
     The question now being on the passage of the bill, disapproved by the Governor and amended by the Senate.
     On the passage of the bill, the yeas were: Bailey, Boley, Caldwell, Chafin, Deem, Dempsey, Edgell, Facemyer, Fanning, Guills, Harrison, Helmick, Hunter, Jenkins, Kessler, Love, McCabe, McKenzie, Minard, Minear, Oliverio, Plymale, Prezioso, Ross, Rowe, Sharpe, Smith, Sprouse, Unger, Weeks, White and Tomblin (Mr. President)--32.
     The nays were: None.
     Absent: Bowman and Snyder--2.
     So, a majority of all the members elected to the Senate having voted in the affirmative, the President declared the bill (Enr. Com. Sub. for S. B. No. 178) passed with its title, as amended, as a result of the objections of the Governor.

     Senator Tomblin (Mr. President) then laid before the Senate the following communication from His Excellency, the Governor, which was read by the Clerk:
STATE OF WEST VIRGINIA

OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR

CHARLESTON

March 13, 2003

The Honorable Earl Ray Tomblin
President, West Virginia Senate
State Capitol
Charleston, West Virginia
Dear President Tomblin:
     Pursuant to the provisions of Section 14, Article VII of the Constitution of West Virginia, I hereby disapprove and return Enrolled Senate Bill No. 646.
     Enrolled Senate Bill No. 646 relates generally to the establishment of centers for economic development and technology advancements at institutions of higher education, a goal that I have always supported. Nevertheless, I must object to this bill because its proposed title does not reflect the amendments made to chapter eighteen-c of the code. A reasonable person would not be able to discern the amendments to that chapter without reading the entire text of the bill. Accordingly, I find the title inconsistent with the substance of the bill so as to render the bill constitutionally defective. For this reason, I must veto this legislation.
     Notwithstanding this action, I urge the Legislature to amend the title and return the bill for approval.
     Finally, while not a reason for vetoing the bill, I must point out that the reference in §18C-5-2(a)(1) to Salem-Teikyo as an approved institution of higher education is no longer correct because that institution ended its relationship with Teikyo University Foundation in 2001. The correct designation is now Salem International University.
                              Very truly yours,
                               Bob Wise,
                               Governor.
     Senator Chafin moved that in accordance with Section 14, Article VII of the Constitution of the State of West Virginia, the Senate proceed to reconsider
     Enr. Senate Bill No. 646, Establishing centers for economic development and technology advancement at higher education institutions.
     Heretofore disapproved and returned by His Excellency, the Governor, with his objections.
     The question being on the adoption of Senator Chafin's motion that the Senate reconsider Enrolled Senate Bill No. 646, the same was put and prevailed.
     On motion of Senator Plymale, the following amendments to the bill were reported by the Clerk, considered simultaneously, and adopted:

     On page two, by striking out the enacting section and inserting in lieu thereof a new enacting section, to read as follows:
     That chapter eighteen-b of the code of West Virginia, one thousand nine hundred thirty-one, as amended, be amended by adding thereto a new article, designated article twelve-a; and that section two, article five, chapter eighteen-c of said code be amended and reenacted, all to read as follows:;
     And,
     On page one, by striking out the title and substituting therefor a new title, to read as follows:
     Enr. Senate Bill No. 646--An Act to amend chapter eighteen-b of the code of West Virginia, one thousand nine hundred thirty-one, as amended, by adding thereto a new article, designated article twelve-a; and to amend and reenact section two, article five, chapter eighteen-c of said code, all relating to higher education; centers for economic development and technology advancement generally; findings and purpose; definitions; authorizing doctoral institutions to enter into agreements with centers; setting forth requirements for governing bodies; powers and duties of governing bodies; providing for appointment of president; qualifications; powers and duties of president; authorizing agreements; terms and conditions; authorizing audit of center operations; clarifying issues of conflicts of interest; prohibiting waiver of sovereign immunity; clarifying issues of debt obligations of centers; student financial aid; and expanding definition of "eligible institution" for purposes of higher education grant program.
     The question now being on the passage of the bill, disapproved by the Governor and amended by the Senate.
     On the passage of the bill, the yeas were: Bailey, Boley, Caldwell, Chafin, Deem, Dempsey, Edgell, Facemyer, Fanning, Guills, Harrison, Helmick, Hunter, Jenkins, Kessler, Love, McCabe, McKenzie, Minard, Minear, Oliverio, Plymale, Prezioso, Ross, Rowe, Sharpe, Smith, Sprouse, Unger, Weeks, White and Tomblin (Mr. President)--32.

     Senator Chafin moved that the bill take effect from passage.
     On this question, the yeas were: Bailey, Boley, Caldwell, Chafin, Deem, Dempsey, Edgell, Facemyer, Fanning, Guills, Harrison, Helmick, Hunter, Jenkins, Kessler, Love, McCabe, McKenzie, Minard, Minear, Oliverio, Plymale, Prezioso, Ross, Rowe, Sharpe, Smith, Sprouse, Unger, Weeks, White and Tomblin (Mr. President)--32.

Dear Speaker Kiss:
     Pursuant to the provisions of Section 14, Article VII of the Constitution of West Virginia, I hereby disapprove and return Enrolled House Bill No. 2840.
     Enrolled House Bill No. 2840 is a special act of the Legislature relating to the Greater Huntington Park and Recreation District generally. I must object to this bill because its proposed title does not reflect the amendments it purports to make to the Acts of the Legislature. A reasonable person would not be able to discern the amendments to the Acts without reading the entire text of the bill. Accordingly, I find the title inconsistent with the substance of the bill so as to render the bill constitutionally defective. For this reason, I must veto this legislation.
     Notwithstanding this action, I urge the Legislature to amend the title and other erroneous designations and return the bill for approval.
                              Very truly yours,
                               Bob Wise,
                               Governor.

Dear Speaker Kiss:
     Pursuant to the provisions of Section 14, Article VII of the Constitution of West Virginia, I hereby disapprove and return Enrolled House Bill No. 2953.
     The purpose of Enrolled House Bill No. 2953 is to incorporate certain amendments to the prepaid college tuition program, which I support as necessary to preserve the actuarial integrity of that program. Nevertheless, I must object to this bill because the description of the bill's contents in its proposed title does not accurately reflect its contents. Thus, a reasonable person would not be able to discern the actual amendments to the code without reading the entire text of the bill. Accordingly, I find the title inconsistent with the substance of the bill so as to render the bill constitutionally defective. For this reason, I must veto this legislation.
     Notwithstanding this action, I urge the Legislature to amend the title and other erroneous designations and return the bill for approval.

               The municipal bond commission shall reimburse the state of West Virginia through the governor from the first remittance collected from the West Virginia housing development fund or from any state agency or local taxing district for which the governor advanced funds, with interest at the rate carried by the bonds for security or payment of which the advance was made.

               (a) For redemption of lands;
               (b) By public service corporations;
               (c) For tax forfeitures.
               Sec. 16. Total appropriations.--Where only a total sum is appropriated to a spending unit, the total sum shall include personal services, annual increment, employee benefits, current expenses, repairs and alterations, equipment and capital outlay, where not otherwise specifically provided and except as otherwise provided in TITLE I--GENERAL PROVISIONS, Sec. 3.
               Sec. 17. General school fund.--The balance of the proceeds of the general school fund remaining after the payment of the appropriations made by this act is appropriated for expenditure in accordance with section sixteen, article nine-a, chapter eighteen of the code.
TITLE III--ADMINISTRATION.

               Section 1. Appropriations conditional.--The expenditure of the appropriations made by this act, except those appropriations made to the legislative and judicial branches of the state government, are conditioned upon the compliance by the spending unit with the requirements of article two, chapter five-a of the code.
               Where spending units or parts of spending units have been absorbed by or combined with other spending units, it is the intent of this act that reappropriations shall be to the succeeding or later spending unit created, unless otherwise indicated.

It is the further intent of the Legislature that the recommendations set forth in the budget digest are an expression of legislative intent, do not have the force and effect of law, and may not be construed to alter the lawful enactment of this bill.
               Sec. 3. Constitutionality.--If any part of this act is declared unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, its decision shall not affect any portion of this act which remains, but the remaining portion shall be in full force and effect as if the portion declared unconstitutional had never been a part of the act.
