responsibility with respect to collective bargaining                           
agreements between the state and a labor or                                    
employee organization representing state employees;                            
and providing for an effective date.                                           
                                                                               
			Chapter 15, SLA 2000                                                       
			  Effective Date: 04/19/00                                                  
                                                                               
In signing HCS CSSB 269(FIN), I note the Administration interprets             
this bill only as a change in its reporting requirements to the                
Legislature regarding collective bargaining agreements.  It does not           
grant the Legislature the authority to approve or disapprove terms for         
which no appropriation is necessary.                                           
                                                                               
						Sincerely,                                                               
						/s/
