BRANSTAD, GovernorDear Mr. Secretary: I hereby transmit Senate File 430, an Act relating to appropriations to the department of cultural affairs, the economic development authority, the department of workforce development, the Iowa finance authority, and the public employment relations board, providing for other properly related matters, and including effective date and retroactive applicability provisions. Senate File 430 is approved on this date with the following exceptions, which I hereby disapprove. I am unable to approve the item designated as Section 1, subsection 2. This item creates carry-forward language which is unnecessary for the Department of Cultural Affairs for fiscal year 2014. The carry-forward language does not advance my goals of returning predictability and sustainability to government budgeting. I am unable to approve the item designated as Section 16, subsection 2. This item creates carry-forward language which is unnecessary for the Department of Cultural Affairs for fiscal year 2015. The carry-forward language does not advance my goals of returning predictability and sustainability to government budgeting. I am unable to approve the item designated as Section 43 in its entirety and the designated portion of Section 54. These items create carry-forward language which is unnecessary for the Department of Cultural Affairs for fiscal year 2013. The carry-forward language does not advance my goals of returning predictability and sustainability to government budgeting. For the above reasons, I respectfully disapprove the designated items in accordance with Amendment IV of the Amendments of 1968 to the Constitution of the State of Iowa. All other items in Senate File 430 are hereby approved as of this date.Sincerely,TERRY E. BRANSTAD, Governor
