VETO MESSAGE ON E2SHB 1341

July 7, 2017

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 5, Engrossed Second Substitute House Bill No. 1341 entitled:

"AN ACT Relating to professional certification for teachers and school administrators."

Section 5 requires the formation of a collaborative of at least 12 members, monthly meetings, and an extensive contracted study. But the 2017-19 omnibus appropriations act does not provide funding for the Professional Educator Standards Board to contract for this work.

For these reasons I have vetoed Section 5 of Engrossed Second Substitute House Bill No. 1341.

With the exception of Section 5, Engrossed Second Substitute House Bill No. 1341 is approved.

Respectfully submitted,
Jay Inslee
Governor
