VETO SESSION


Second Regular Session, 90th General Assembly




FIRST DAY, Wednesday, September 13, 2000


         Speaker Gaw in the Chair.


         Prayer by Father David Buescher.


           God of Justice, God of Freedom, God of responsible Growth and Progress, Your presence is requested in this Chamber today. We desire Your influence to center these deliberations ----- that decisions may be made in grace, not selfishness; in altruism, not antagonism; in service, not dominance. As we hold these men and women up to You, we pray that they be accountable to their constituents, indeed, but also to their own consciences. At the end of these short but important days, may their spirits resound with that special kind of victory, the job well done, the moral fiber more sound, our state well-assisted.


           We also ask a special blessing for Sandy Friley, the wife of our Reading Clerk, John, who is battling for her life against illness. Give her health, God. You are our God, a God of people on the move into more life, love, and happiness, a God truly holy and awesome, now and forever. Amen.


         The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.


         The Speaker appointed the following to act as an Honorary Page for the Day, to serve without compensation: Andrea Jean Baker.

MESSAGES FROM THE GOVERNOR


EXECUTIVE OFFICE

State of Missouri

Room 216

State Capitol

Jefferson City 65101


                                                                                   June 28, 2000


TO SECRETARY OF STATE OF THE STATE OF MISSOURI

 

Herewith I return to you Conference Committee Substitute for House Bill No. 1103 entitled:


"AN ACT"

 

To appropriate money for the expenses, grants, refunds, and distributions of the Department of Higher Education and the several divisions, programs, and institutions of higher education included therein to be expended only as provided in Article IV, Section 28 of the Constitution of Missouri, and to transfer money among certain funds for the period beginning July 1, 2000 and ending June 30, 2001.


Section 3.090


I hereby veto $50,000 general revenue for Crowder College to offer out-of-district classes at Mt. Vernon. This expansion of services was neither requested by the institution nor recommended by the Coordinating Board for Higher Education, and was not part of my budget recommendations. Such review is essential to ensure that state resources are allocated in the most cost-effective manner. This veto is necessary to ensure a balanced budget.



For selected out-of-district courses by $50,000 from $1,480,566 to $1,430,566 general revenue.

From $151,899,466 to $151,849,466 in total for the section.


On June 28, 2000, I approved said Conference Committee Substitute for House Bill No. 1103, except for those items specifically vetoed and not approved.


                                                                                             Respectfully submitted


                                                                                      /s/    Mel Carnahan

TO SECRETARY OF STATE OF THE STATE OF MISSOURI

 

Herewith I return to you Conference Committee Substitute for House Bill No. 1106 entitled:


"AN ACT"

 

To appropriate money for the expenses, grants, refunds, and distributions of the Department of Agriculture, Department of Natural Resources, Department of Conservation, and the several divisions and programs thereof and for the expenses, grants, refunds, distributions, and capital improvement projects involving the repair, replacement and maintenance of state buildings and facilities of the Department of Natural Resources and the several divisions and programs thereof to be expended only as provided in Article IV, Section 28 of the Constitution of Missouri, and to transfer money among certain funds, for the period beginning July 1, 2000 and ending June 30, 2001.


Section 6.030


I hereby veto $100,000 general revenue for the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI) at the University of Missouri - Columbia. There is no evidence that additional money will generate measurable results. FAPRI will receive substantial new funds from the federal government for their activities during Fiscal Year 2001. This veto is necessary to ensure a balanced budget.


For the purpose of funding research and related activities of the Food and Agriculture Policy Research Institute (FAPRI) by $100,000 from $400,000 to $300,000 from General Revenue Fund.

From $400,000 to $300,000 in total for the section.


On June 28, 2000, I approved said Conference Committee Substitute for House Bill No. 1106, except for those items specifically vetoed and not approved.


                                                                                             Respectfully submitted

Herewith I return to you Conference Committee Substitute for House Bill No. 1109 entitled:


"AN ACT"

 

To appropriate money for the expenses, grants, refunds, and distributions of the Department of Corrections and the several divisions and programs thereof to be expended only as provided in Article IV, Section 28 of the Constitution of Missouri, for the period beginning July 1, 2000 and ending June 30, 2001.


Section 9.105


I hereby veto $370,000 general revenue for special sensitivity training or POST training. The Department of Corrections receives over $1.9 million in general revenue funding for training. Corrections officers are not required to have the specific law enforcement training that this additional funding would provide. This veto is necessary to ensure a balanced budget.


Expense and Equipment by $370,000 from $2,276,575 to $1,906,575 from General Revenue Fund.

From $2,276,575 to $1,906,575 in total for the section.


Section 9.520


I hereby veto $500,000 general revenue for case management grants. Case Management Programs are currently in effect through community sentencing programs and local sentencing initiatives. Funding of $250,000 was approved for this purpose in Fiscal Year 2000. These grants should be evaluated for performance prior to expanding funding. This veto is necessary to ensure a balanced budget.


Expense and Equipment by $500,000 from $743,750 to $243,750 from General Revenue Fund.

From $743,750 to $243,750 in total for the section.

Section 10.760


I hereby veto $370,000 donated funds for the diet pill education program. The appropriation is being reduced to reflect an anticipated spending level consistent with the legislative fiscal note projection.


For a diet pill education program by $370,000 from $500,000 to $130,000 from Department of Health Donated Funds.

From $12,158,463 to $11,788,463 in total for the section.


On June 28, 2000, I approved said Conference Committee Substitute No. 2 for House Bill No. 1110, except for those items specifically vetoed and not approved.

                                                                                   June 28, 2000


TO SECRETARY OF STATE OF THE STATE OF MISSOURI

 

Herewith I return to you Conference Committee Substitute for House Bill No. 1111 entitled:


"AN ACT"

 

To appropriate money for the expenses, grants, and distributions of the Department of Social Services and the several divisions and programs thereof to be expended only as provided in Article IV, Section 28 of the Constitution of Missouri, for the period beginning July 1, 2000 and ending June 30, 2001.


Section 11.010


I hereby veto $200,000 general revenue that will be provided to the Department of Economic Development for a St. Louis Cyber Community Center. This veto is necessary to ensure a balanced budget.


For the purpose of funding data processing expenses associated with Automated Intake Expense and Equipment by $200,000 from $650,000 to $450,000.

From $650,000 to $450,000 from General Revenue Fund.

From $26,196,095 to $25,996,095 in total for the section.


Section 11.055


I hereby veto $42,288 general revenue for an additional employee at Prince Hall that is unnecessary. This veto is necessary to ensure a balanced budget.


Personal Services by $42,288 from $2,213,261 to $2,170,973 from General Revenue Fund.

From $3,181,639 to $3,139,351 in total from General Revenue Fund.

From $8,059,183 to $8,016,895 in total for the section.


Section 11.300


I hereby veto $100,000 general revenue for three staff to expand the Scared Straight program currently operating at the Jefferson City Correctional Center. Money for this program currently exists in the Department of Correction’s budget. This veto is necessary to ensure a balanced budget.


For the purpose of funding the operations of scared straight type programs including, but not limited to, the youth services group program operating at the Jefferson City Correctional Center

Personal Service by $100,000 from $100,000 to $0 from General Revenue Fund.

From $3,235,102 to $3,135,102 in total for the section.


Section 11.400


I hereby veto $50,000 general revenue for grants to welfare boards. There are currently monies available through the Department of Economic Development for these purposes. Therefore, these funds would be a duplication of effort. This veto is necessary to ensure a balanced budget.


Also, I hereby veto $30,000, including $15,000 general revenue to expand the pager pilot program. In Fiscal Year 2000, $60,000 was appropriated for this program which has not been fully expended. As a result, those funds have been reappropriated for Fiscal Year 2001. Therefore, it is premature to expand this pilot program at this time. This veto is necessary to ensure a balanced budget.


In addition, I hereby veto the words “Provided that additions of drugs to the prior authorization list shall be subject to approval by the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules”. The inclusion of legislation of a general character within an appropriation bill is prohibited by the Missouri Constitution in Article III, Section 23. This is an attempt to hinder the Division of Medical Services’ ability to manage and utilize the state’s resources efficiently. This action will only heighten the escalating costs of pharmacy serivces in the Medicaid program. Many private health care organizations utilize prior authorization as a tool to control their costs as well as ensuring the appropriate utilization of prescriptions. In addition, I hereby veto $20, including $10 general revenue related to implementing the approval of all drugs on the prior authorization list by the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules. This veto is necessary to ensure a balanced budget.


Expense and Equipment by $65,010 from $602,911 to $537,901 from General Revenue Fund.

From $4,145,108 to $4,080,098 in total from General Revenue Fund.

Expense and Equipment by $15,010 from $2,516,251 to $2,501,241 from Federal Funds.

From $7,371,169 to $7,356,159 in total from Federal Funds.

From $13,570,596 to $13,490,576 in total for this section.


Section 11.420


I hereby veto $250,000 including $100,000 general revenue for funding a pilot project related to professional pharmacy services. There has been no documentation provided to demonstrate the efficiencies or cost savings that could be achieved in the Medicaid pharmacy program as a result of this pilot project. This veto is necessary to ensure a balanced budget.


For the purpose of funding pharmaceutical payments under the Medicaid fee-for-service and managed care programs and for the purpose of funding professional fees for pharmacists

From $197,473,871 to $197,373,871 in total from General Revenue Fund.

From $374,171,174 to $374,021,174 in total from Federal Funds.

From $613,436,630 to $613,186,630 in total for the section.


Section 11.435


I hereby veto $500,000 general revenue to purchase dental equipment. The state should continue to focus its limited resources on increasing the overall reimbursement structure to dentists that provide services to Medicaid recipients rather than funding additional untested pilot programs. In addition, the Division of Medical Services is unable to obtain federal matching funds for this pilot program. Finally, in Fiscal Year 2000, $500,000 was appropriated for a dental pilot project; however, the contractor did not utilize these funds and as a result those funds have been reappropriated for Fiscal Year 2001. This veto is necessary to ensure a balanced budget.


For the purpose of funding dental services under the Medicaid fee-for-service and managed care programs

From $5,617,096 to $5,117,096 in total from General Revenue Fund.

From $13,676,183 to $13,176,183 in total for the section.


Section 11.446


I hereby veto $100,000, including $50,000 general revenue for funding telephone assurance pilot projects. The pilot program was funded in Fiscal Year 1999; however, to date has only served five individuals. Some Area Agencies on Aging are providing this service and therefore this funding is duplicative in nature. This veto is necessary to ensure a balanced budget.


Said section is vetoed in its entirety from $50,000 to $0 from General Revenue Fund.

From $50,000 to $0 from Federal Funds.

From $100,000 to $0 in total for the section.


On June 28, 2000, I approved said Conference Committee Substitute for House Bill No. 1111, except for those items specifically vetoed and not approved.

TO SECRETARY OF STATE OF THE STATE OF MISSOURI

 

Herewith I return to you Conference Committee Substitute for House Bill No. 1120 entitled:


"AN ACT"

 

To appropriate money for planning, expenses, and for capital improvements including but not limited to major additions and renovations, new structures, and land improvements or acquisitions.


Section 20.010


I hereby veto $75,000 general revenue for planning for a south campus at Mineral Area College. This project was not recommended by the Coordinating Board for Higher Education, nor was it part of my budget recommendations. Such review is essential to ensure state resources are allocated in the most cost-effective manner. The project may be worthy but cannot be reviewed because it has not yet been properly defined in terms of scope of work, timing of construction, or cost. This veto is necessary to ensure a balanced budget.

 

For planning, design, construction, renovation, and improvements for community colleges by $75,000 from $75,000 to $0 from General Revenue Fund.

From $5,924,819 to $5,849,819 in total for the section.


Section 20.081


I hereby veto $265,405 general revenue for road and bridge improvements for an access road north of the Vandalia Correctional Center. The road in question is not part of the state highway system, so needed improvements should be addressed by the local government. The state provides significant funding to cities and counties for road and bridge construction and maintenance projects through the constitutionally mandated distribution of motor fuel taxes. This veto is necessary to ensure a balanced budget.


Said section is vetoed in its entirety from $265,405 to $0 in total from General Revenue Fund.

From $265,405 to $0 in total for the section.


On June 28, 2000, I approved said Conference Committee Substitute for House Bill No. 1120, except for those items specifically vetoed and not approved.

TO SECRETARY OF STATE OF THE STATE OF MISSOURI

 

Herewith I return to you Senate Committee Substitute for House Bill No. 1396 entitled:


"AN ACT"

 

To repeal sections 172.360, 174.620 and 175.021, RSMo 1994, and sections 172.020, 172.037, 174.610 and 175.020, RSMo Supp. 1999, relating to public schools, and to enact in lieu thereof fifteen new sections relating to the same subject.


I disapprove of Senate Committee Substitute for House Bill No. 1396. My reasons for disapproval are as follows:

 

The bill appears to repeal the law that creates the University of Missouri, its governing body, the Curators, and the powers invested in the Curators.


           Specifically, the bill repeals section 172.020, RSMo. This section in part states the following:

 

“The university is hereby incorporated and created a body politic and shall be known by the name of “The Curators of the University of Missouri”, and by that name shall have perpetual succession, power to sue and be sued, complain and defend in all courts; to make and use a common seal, and to alter the same at pleasure; to take, purchase and to sell, convey and otherwise dispose of lands and chattels........”

 

Because of the potential detrimental effect such a repeal would have on the governance of the university, I object and veto the above titled bill. I encourage the General Assembly to correct this technical error and pass this same legislation next session.


For all of the above stated reasons for disapproval, I am returning Senate Committee Substitute for House Bill No. 1396 without my approval.


                                                                                             Respectfully submitted


                                                                                      /s/    Mel Carnahan

                                                                                   July 13, 2000


TO SECRETARY OF STATE OF THE STATE OF MISSOURI

 

Herewith I return to you House Bill No. 1596 entitled:


"AN ACT"

 

To amend chapter 375, RSMo, relating to insurance companies by adding thereto one new section relating to the same subject.


I disapprove of House Bill No. 1596. My reasons for disapproval are as follows:


           It conflicts with provisions of Conference Committee Substitute for House Substitute for House Committee Substitute for Senate Bill 896, hereinafter referred to as SB 896, which was also approved by the General Assembly during the 2000 session. The language in SB 896 makes it clear that entities in which an insurer may invest must be regulated by only one of three regulatory bodies, whereas House Bill No. 1596 may be interpreted to require the same entities to be regulated by all three regulatory bodies.


For all of the above stated reasons for disapproval, I am returning House Bill No. 1596 without my approval.


                                                                                             Respectfully submitted
