Show 2 The Magna TimesWest Valley News, Thursday, March 30, 2000 EditorialGovemment Governor Leavitt Approves most of the Legislatures Bills but vetoes controversial sex education changes HB 4 Most of the bills that the Legislature passed this session were signed by Governor Leavitt. He allowed four other bill to become law without his signature indicating he was not 100 percent behind the bills but felt that they should be allowed to become law. He used his veto power sparingly only vetoing five bills and using a line item veto on a supplemental appropriations bill. Only one controversial bill was vetoed house bill 41 1 which would have made abstinence the only method of sex education taught in Utah Public Schools. Most of the other controversial legislation this year on guns and other issues never made it through the session so the governor did not have to deal with them in his signing and vetoes. The reasoning behind his vetoes is as : : follows: HB 223 was vetoed because the language in final version deleted a law that set up a presumption of about the passage of constructive title to trust land purchasers. And (here was also a potential problem in the way patents are issued. HB 241 left programs in the bill with no funding from legislature and called for agencies to pay for these programs from existing budgets so the bill was vetoed. HB 257S1 The governor vetoed because it did not make a provision for the governor to change a budget proposed by the Capitol Preservation Committee. HB 41 was vetoed because the current curriculum covered abstinence and fidelity already. The bill drafted includes inconsistencies that would make interpretation of the law confusing. SB 252 was vetoed because the bill was scheduled to be repealed next session and the governor did not wish to implemented on that basis. 1 Governor Leavitts actions on legislation for 2000 Action: Law without Signature HB320S1 03182000 Public Utility Amendments SB106S1 03182000 Retirement Benefit Enhancement SB273S1 03182000 Highway Bonding Action: Sign HB 1 03172000 Supplemental Appropriations Act HB 2 03172000 2000 Bond Bill and Capital Facilities Authorizations MAGNA TIMES 0 USPS Second class postage paid at Magna, Utah 64044 8980 West 2700 South Magna, Utah 84044 326-60- J.
