Senator Tomblin (Mr. President) laid before the Senate the following communication from His Excellency, the Governor, which was received:
The Honorable Members of the
I am writing concerning Engrossed House Bill No. 302 and Engrossed Senate Bill No. 3004, as amended and passed by the House of Delegates. As you are aware, the West Virginia Constitution gives the Governor the authority to convene the Legislature in extraordinary session, but when so convened, the Legislature "shall enter upon no business except that stated in the proclamation by which it was called together." W. Va. Const. Art. VII §7. It is my belief, as Governor, that Engrossed House Bill No. 302 and Engrossed Senate Bill No. 3004, as amended, exceed the scope of my proclamation convening the Legislature into extraordinary session. As the language in my proclamation authorized a one-time salary enhancement for "full-time public employees" only, and as the proclamation stated a specific level of appropriation to be dedicated to the payment of such enhancement, Engrossed House Bill No. 302 and Engrossed Senate Bill No. 3004, as amended, are outside the boundaries of the Constitution. For this reason, I request the West Virginia Senate to not take up Engrossed House Bill No. 302 and to refuse to recede from its position on Engrossed Senate Bill No. 3004.
Senator Edgell offered the following pre-adjournment resolution:
At the request of Senator Edgell, unanimous consent being granted, the resolution was taken up for immediate consideration, reference to a committee dispensed with, and adopted.
Senators Bowman, Unger and Sypolt.
Senator Edgell then offered the following resolution:
Senators Prezioso, Foster and Barnes.
At the request of Senator Wells, unanimous consent being granted, the Joint Committee on Enrolled Bills was granted permission, after it has examined, found truly enrolled and presented to His Excellency, the Governor, for his action, bills passed but not presented to him prior to adjournment of this third extraordinary session of the seventy-ninth Legislature in the year two thousand nine, to file its reports with the Clerk and that the same be included in the Journal of the last day of the session; and also, that any communications from His Excellency, the Governor, as to his action on bills after adjournment of the session, be included in the Journal.
Your Joint Committee on Enrolled Bills has examined, found truly enrolled, and on the 18th day of August, 2009, presented to His Excellency, the Governor, for his action, the following bills, signed by the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Delegates:
(S. B. No. 3003), Making supplementary appropriation to Department of Commerce, Development Office, Broadband Deployment Fund.
(H. B. No. 301), Utilizing additional federal matching moneys for extended unemployment compensation benefits.
The Clerk then presented a communication from His Excellency, the Governor, advising that on August 19, 2009, he had approved Enr. Senate Bill No. 3003 and Enr. House Bill No. 301.
[CLERK'S NOTE: Enrolled Senate Bill No. 3003 became law without the Governor's signature on August 19, 2009, under the provisions of Subsection 11, Section 51, Article VI of the Constitution of West Virginia.]
