VETO MESSAGE: "Please allow this letter to inform you that I have signed House Bill 392
of the 2019 Regular Session. However, I have exercised my line item veto authority granted
to me to veto three items. I have exercised my line item veto authority as follows:
Veto No. 1:
Delete Page 31 of 31, lines 2-5:
Authorizes $4,270,000 for Airport Access Road, Planning and Construction (Iberia).
Veto No. 2:
Delete Page 31 of 31, lines 6-10:
Authorizes $1,400,000 for Rehabilitation of Hangar #88 and Associated Parking Lot,
Planning and Construction (Iberia).
Veto No. 3:
Delete Page 31 of 31, lines 11-15:
Authorizes $300,000 for Progress Point Business Park and Airport Gateway, Land
Acquisition, Planning and Construction (Iberia).
After communication with the legislative staff, it is my understanding that these projects
were included in House Bill 392 in error, as they are duplicative of projects that are also in
House Bill 2. Further, because of these projects, the enrolled version of House Bill 392
appropriates more revenue than is available in the current year. Therefore, pursuant to
Louisiana Constitution Art. 4, sec. 5(G)(2), to bring the appropriations contained in House
Bill 392 into balance, I have vetoed the three capital outlay projects listed above.
Enclosed is a copy of the signed version of House Bill 392. I have sent the original to the
Secretary of State."
