A governor's written statement of objections to a vetoed bill or item must clearly outline the language that was vetoed. This requirement is constitutionally mandated and serves to resolve any discrepancies between the governor's statement and any markings on the face of the bill or item.
The statement ensures transparency in the legislative process by providing a clear record of what was objected to in the legislation. The procedure is designed to maintain clarity and prevent misunderstandings regarding the content of vetoed bills.
