MESSAGES FROM THE GOVERNOR

     The following messages were received from the Governor:

OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR

State of Missouri

Jefferson City, Missouri

May 7, 1996

TO THE SENATE OF THE 88TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF MISSOURI:

     The following addendum should be made to the appointment of Sharon K. Spence for the Jackson County Board of Election Commissioners, submitted to you on May 1, 1996. Line 2 should be amended to read:

     County, Missouri 64064, as the Secretary

Respectfully submitted,

MEL CARNAHAN

Governor

     President Pro Tem Mathewson referred the above addendum to the Committee on Gubernatorial Appointments.

OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR

State of Missouri

Jefferson City, Missouri

May 7, 1996

TO THE SECRETARY OF THE SENATE

88TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY

SECOND REGULAR SESSION

STATE OF MISSOURI:

     Herewith I return to you Senate Bill No. 929, entitled:

"AN ACT"

To repeal section 195.017, relating to the regulation of certain drugs, and to enact in lieu thereof three new sections relating to the same subject, with penalty provisions.

     Senate Bill No. 929 is vetoed and not approved for the following reasons:

     The primary purpose of this bill is to protect Missouri citizens from harmful drugs by making it illegal to market, sell, distribute, advertise or label any drug product containing ephedrine or pseudoephedrine for uses which are not FDA approved. However, the bill creates the class A misdemeanor of possession of ephedrine or pseudoephedrine with the intent to manufacture methamphetamine which conflicts with the current classification of such an act as a class D felony. As a result of the conflict, I must object to the bill because this provision would reduce the penalty from a class D felony to a class A misdemeanor.

     I strongly support law enforcement's efforts to combat the illegal manufacture and distribution of methamphetamine in Missouri. Senate Bill No. 929, however, contains a provision I believe inadvertently weakens one of our drug laws.

     For the above and foregoing reasons, Senate Bill 929 is returned and not approved.

Respectfully submitted,

MEL CARNAHAN

Governor

Such application shall include the county in which such vessel will be normally maintained by the new owner. A certificate of registration and a set of registration decals in a form the director shall prescribe shall be issued for a documented vessel. A Missouri resident shall make application for a vessel certificate of registration within thirty days of acquiring or bringing the vessel into this state. A nonresident shall make application for a vessel certificate of registration within sixty days after acquiring a vessel in this state or bringing a vessel into this state if the vessel will be kept in this state for a period in excess of sixty consecutive days. A delinquency penalty fee of ten dollars shall be imposed for each thirty days of delinquency, not to exceed a total of thirty dollars. If the director of revenue learns that any person has failed to make application for a vessel certificate of registration in accordance with this section or has sold a vessel documented by the United States Coast Guard without obtaining a certificate of registration as provided in this section, the director shall cancel the registration of all vessels and outboard motors registered in the name of the person, either as sole owner or a coowner, and shall notify the person that the cancellation will remain in force until the person pays the delinquency penalty fee together with all fees, charges, and payments which the person should have paid in connection with the vessel certificate of registration.

     [2. A boat or vessel documented by the United States Coast Guard or other agency of the federal government and operated on the waters of this state shall not be liable for the payment of any state or local sales or use tax on the purchase, but shall be liable for the payment of an in lieu watercraft tax, which is hereby imposed. The in lieu watercraft tax shall be collected by the director of revenue and deposited in the state treasury to the credit of general revenue and shall be appropriated for use by the Missouri state water patrol. Watercraft dealers in this state shall report to the director of revenue on forms furnished by the director the sale of each watercraft sold to a resident of this state. If the watercraft is registered and licensed pursuant to the provisions of this chapter and all applicable sales taxes have been paid, the director shall not collect the in lieu tax imposed by this subsection. If the watercraft is registered with the United States Coast Guard or other agency of the federal government and not under the provisions of this chapter the director shall bill the purchaser of the watercraft for the in lieu tax imposed by this subsection. Any person who fails to pay the in lieu tax due under this section, within thirty days after receipt of the bill from the director of revenue, shall be liable to the same penalties imposed by law for failure to pay sales and use taxes due the state.

The owner shall attach the registration decals to both sides of the forward half of the bow of the documented vessel in a place that is fully visible.

     [4.] 3. The department of revenue may issue a temporary vessel certificate of registration authorizing the operation of a vessel to be documented by the United States Coast Guard for not more than sixty days. The temporary registration shall be made available by the department of revenue and may be purchased from the department of revenue or from a dealer upon proof of purchase of a vessel. The department shall make temporary certificates of registration available to registered dealers in this state in sets of ten. The fee for the temporary certificates of registration shall be five dollars each. No dealer shall charge more than five dollars for each temporary certificate of registration issued. The temporary registration shall be valid for a period of sixty days from the date of issuance by the department of revenue to the purchaser of the vessel or from the date of sale of the vessel by a dealer from which the purchaser obtains a certificate of registration. The temporary certificate of registration shall be issued on a form prescribed by the department of revenue and issued only for the purchaser's use in the operation of the vessel purchased to enable the purchaser to legally operate the vessel while a certificate of registration is being obtained, and shall be displayed on no other vessel. Temporary certificates of registration issued under this section shall not be transferable or renewable and shall not be valid upon issuance of a proper certificate of registration. The dealer or authorized agent shall insert the date of issuance and expiration date, year, make and the manufacturer's identification number of the vessel on the temporary registration when issued to the purchaser. The dealer shall complete the information on the temporary registration in full. Every dealer that issues a temporary certificate of registration shall keep, for inspection by authorized officers, a correct record of each temporary certificate of registration issued by the dealer by recording the registration number, purchaser's name and address, year, make and manufacturer's identification number of the vessel on which the temporary certificate of registration is to be used and the date of issuance.

     [5.] 4. Upon the sale or transfer of any vessel documented by the United States Coast Guard for which a certificate of registration has been issued, the registration shall be terminated. If the new owner elects to have the vessel documented by the United States Coast Guard, the new owner shall submit, in addition to the properly assigned certificate of registration, proof of release from the documentation provided by the United States Coast Guard and shall comply with the provisions of this section. If the new owner elects not to document the vessel with the United States Coast Guard, the owner shall comply with the applicable provisions of this chapter.

     [6.] 5. The certificate of registration shall be available at all times for inspection on the vessel for which it is issued, whenever the vessel is in operation.

     306.017. There is hereby created within the state treasury the "Water Safety Fund". For fiscal year 1998, and each subsequent fiscal year for a period of nine years, five hundred thousand dollars shall be transferred from the general revenue fund to the water safety fund. Subject to appropriation, moneys in the water safety fund shall be used only for the purposes of water safety programs of the state water patrol. Any funds appropriated pursuant to this section shall be in addition to any amounts appropriated for the operation of the state water patrol for fiscal year 1998 and any subsequent fiscal year and shall not supplant other state funds appropriated for such purposes."; and

     Further amend the title and enacting clause accordingly.
