I am transmitting the engrossed and enrolled copies to the Lieutenant Governor for permanent filing: CS FOR SENATE BILL NO. 1005(FIN) am "An Act making and amending appropriations; making appropriations under art. IX, sec. 17(c), Constitution of the State of Alaska, from the constitutional budget reserve fund; providing for an effective date for versions of HB 412 and SB 136 that were passed by the Nineteenth Alaska State Legislature; and providing for an effective date." Chapter No. 5, FSSLA 1996 Effective Date: See Chapter 1996-10-16 Senate Journal Page 4430 SB 1005 As have governors before me, I have vetoed most of the legislative intent language in Senate Bill 1005, regardless of whether I agree with the content. This is to maintain the appropriate distinction between the legislatures appropriation responsibilities and the executive branchs policy and budget implementation responsibilities. I have also vetoed the amending provision in this bill to reduce the debt service appropriation by $1.6 million, because I made that reduction in House Bill 412. The provision in this bill was, therefore, redundant. Sincerely, /s/ Tony Knowles Governor
