VETO MESSAGE ON SHB 1084

May 16, 2011

To the Honorable Speaker and Members,
The House of Representatives of the State of Washington

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am returning herewith, without my approval as to Section 7, Substitute House Bill 1084 entitled:

"AN ACT Relating to creating the board on geographic names."

Substitute House Bill 1084 recognizes the need for a board on geographic names. Section 7 would declare this act null and void if funding were not provided specifically for the purposes of this act in the omnibus appropriations act. Funding for this activity is less than $50,000 per biennium and may not appear as a line item in the omnibus appropriations act.

For this reason I have vetoed Section 7 of Substitute House Bill 1084.

With the exception of Section 7, Substitute House Bill 1084 is approved.

Respectfully submitted,
Christine Gregoire
Governor
