VETO MESSAGE ON ESHB 2692

March 29, 2012

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

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I have approved, except for Section 1, Engrossed Substitute House Bill 2692 entitled:

"AN ACT Relating to the reduction of the commercial sale of sex."

I am vetoing Section 1 because it amends the same section of the Revised Code of Washington that is amended in Section 3 of Engrossed Substitute House Bill 1983. The amendments cannot be reconciled.

For this reason I have vetoed Section 1 of Engrossed Substitute House Bill 2692.

With the exception of Section 1, Engrossed Substitute House Bill 2692 is approved.

Respectfully submitted,
Christine Gregoire
Governor
