have signed House Bill 892, which gives all counties statewide the authority to
regulate game rooms by removing all local bracket provisions from the relevant
statute. House Bill 389 attempts to amend the provisions already repealed by House
Bill 892. As such, House Bill 389 is unnecessary and I am vetoing it at the request
of the author.&quot;</span></p>
