OAG 03-003 is cited in OAG 24-06 to support the interpretation of the scope of the Governor's line-item veto power. Specifically, it is used to illustrate the principle that a bill must primarily aim to make appropriations from the public treasury to be considered an 'appropriation bill' suitable for line-item vetoes. The decision in OAG 03-003, which found a line-item veto invalid because the bill was not primarily an appropriations bill, aligns with the reasoning in OAG 24-06 that House Bill 8 is not an appropriation bill and thus not subject to line-item vetoes.
OAG 03-003 was Followed by OAG 24-06
