41-3497TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME:
Pursuant to Article IV, Section 14, of the Texas Constitution, I, Greg Abbott, Governor
of Texas, do hereby disapprove of and veto House Bill No. 462 as passed by the Eighty-
Fifth Texas Legislature, Regular Session, because of the following objections:
Agency rulemaking is an executive branch function, not a legislative function.
Transparency in rulemaking is important, but it should not come at the expense of
legislative encroachment on executive branch authority. Additionally, House Bill
462 has the potential to slow down the executive rulemaking process rather than
enhance it.
Since the Eighty-Fifth Texas Legislature, Regular Session, by its adjournment has
prevented the return of this bill, I am filing these objections in the office of the Secretary
of State and giving notice thereof by this public proclamation according to the
aforementioned constitutional provision.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I
have signed my name officially
and caused the Seal of the State to
be affixed hereto at Austin, this
15th day of June, 2017.GREG TT
