The Honorable Mike Lowry
Governor, State of Washington
Olympia, WA 98504
Dear Governor Lowry:
Please accept this letter as my resignation, effective November 11, 1993, from the office of Washington State Senator, 8th District. This action is prompted by your appointing me to serve as Director of the Washington State Department of Agriculture.
Although I will greatly miss representing the 8th District, my home since birth, I am pleased that I will continue to serve my local citizens and the citizens of Washington State in a public facet. In both the House and Senate, I strived to aggressively represent the interests of 8th District constituents. Therefore, I would like to take this opportunity to thank them for their support since November 1986.
I believe that public service is "the highest calling," and I am honored to be chosen to serve Washington State citizens in my new position. However, I will forever value my experience as both State Representative and State Senator. I will never forget the friends, both at home and in Olympia that I met through this process.
Very truly yours,
JIM JESERNIG
State Senator

MESSAGE FROM THE SECRETARY OF STATE
The Honorable President of the Senate
The Legislature of the State of Washington
Olympia, Washington
Mr. President:
We respectfully transmit for your consideration the following bill which was vetoed by the Governor, together with the official veto message of the Governor setting forth his objections to the bill as required by Article III, section 12, of the Washington State Constitution:
Senate Bill No. 5300.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand, and affixed the Seal of the state of Washington at Olympia, this 10th day of January, 1994.
(Seal) RALPH MUNRO,
Secretary of State
MESSAGE FROM THE GOVERNOR
VETO MESSAGE ON SENATE BILL NO. 5300
May 18, 1993
To the Honorable President and Members,
The Senate of the State of Washington
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am returning herewith, without my approval Senate Bill No. 5300 entitled:
"AN ACT Relating to economic development;"
I am a strong supporter of collaboration in policy-making in economic development as in other areas. I agree with the Legislature that economic development policy can benefit from closer collaboration between the state and the private sector, between independent officials and panels, and between the executive and legislative branches. A strong economy is in everyone's interest, and collaborative efforts to achieve it are worthwhile.
However, the coming year will present difficult management challenges for state economic development efforts. The departments of Trade and Economic Development and Community Development will be working together to establish a new Department of Community, Trade, and Economic Development, working with a wide range of affected parties. The budget reductions in both departments will also be quite demanding, and the budget contains no specific funding to support this bill. As a result, the process proposed in this legislation could not be undertaken in an effective manner this year.
In addition, while efforts to encourage collaboration between the Legislature and the Governor, and between the public and private sector are valuable, the process envisioned in this legislation is overly complex and would be difficult to operate effectively.
For these reasons, I have vetoed Senate Bill No. 5300 in its entirety.
Respectfully submitted,
MIKE LOWRY, Governor
EDITOR'S NOTE: See the 1993 Senate Journal for the Governor's Veto Message on Senate Bill No. 5053, which was vetoed during the 1993 Regular Session of the 53rd Legislature.

MESSAGE FROM THE GOVERNOR
PARTIAL VETO MESSAGE ON ENGROSSED SECOND SUBSTITUTE SENATE BILL NO. 5304
May 17, 1993
To the Honorable President and Members,
The Senate of the State of Washington
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am returning herewith, without my approval as to section 424, Engrossed Second Substitute Senate Bill No. 5304, entitled:
"AN ACT Relating to health care."
Engrossed Second Substitute Senate Bill No. 5304, adopts the Washington Health Services Act. Through this bill the legislature has given the people of Washington major health care reform. This bill will provide access to all residents of the state and will begin to control the spiraling costs of our health care system.
Section 424 of Engrossed Second Substitute Senate Bill No. 5304 changes the measurement and apportionment of damages in court actions for injuries resulting from health care by holding a defendant against whom judgment has been entered responsible for the fault of entities already released by a claimant. This section, along with the other liability reforms such as malpractice review and mandatory mediation contained in Part IV C. of the bill, is intended to encourage settlements and reduce litigation costs in medical malpractice cases. While I share in the legislature's goal of reduced malpractice litigation, I question whether this language as written will achieve the desired result.
For this reason, I have vetoed section 424 of Engrossed Second Substitute Senate Bill No. 5304.
With the exception of section 424, Engrossed Second Substitute Senate Bill No. 5304 is approved.
Respectfully submitted,
MIKE LOWRY, Governor

PARTIAL VETO MESSAGE ON ENGROSSED SUBSTITUTE SENATE BILL NO. 5307
May 15, 1993
To the Honorable President and Members
The Senate of the State of Washington
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am returning herewith, without my approval as to section 4, Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 5307 entitled:
"AN ACT Relating to student safety and discipline"
Section 4 of Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 5307 adds probable cause arrest authority for officers believing an individual illegally possesses or has illegally possessed a firearm or other dangerous weapon on school premises.
Section 4 of Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 5307 is identical to Senate Bill No. 5107 which I have already signed.
For this reason, I have vetoed section 4 of Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 5307.
With the exception of section 4, Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 5307 is approved.
Respectfully submitted,
MIKE LOWRY, Governor

PARTIAL VETO MESSAGE ON SUBSTITUTE SENATE BILL NO. 5337
May 6, 1993
To the Honorable President and Members,
The Senate of the State of Washington
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am returning herewith, without my approval as to section 6, Substitute Senate Bill No. 5337 entitled:
"AN ACT Relating to the department of transportation's aeronautics division."
Section 6 of the bill amends RCW 47.68.240, addressing the penalties associated with violations of the aeronautics statutes in chapter 47.68 RCW.
Engrossed Substitute House Bill No. 1127, which is awaiting my approval, deals with licensing and penalty issues generally for motor vehicles, water craft and aircraft, and also amends RCW 47.68.240 to make the penalties uniform between all modes of transportation.
In this instance, I believe it is appropriate to defer to the Legislature's judgment in their efforts to have uniform penalties for all modes of transportation.
For these reasons, I have vetoed Section 6 of Substitute Senate Bill No. 5337.
With the exception of section 6, Substitute Senate Bill No. 5337 is approved.

To the Honorable President and Members
The Senate of the State of Washington
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am returning herewith, without my approval as to sections 12 and 24, Substitute Senate Bill No. 5471, entitled:
"AN ACT Relating to nonprofit corporations;"
Sections 12 and 24 amend current law and duplicate language contained in sections 6 and 8 of Substitute Senate Bill No. 5492 which I signed into law on May 7, 1993. For this reason, I have vetoed sections 12 and 24 of Substitute Senate Bill No. 5471.
With the exceptions of sections 12 and 24, Substitute Senate Bill No. 5471 is approved.

PARTIAL VETO MESSAGE ON SENATE BILL NO. 5474
May 18, 1993
To the Honorable President and Members,
The Senate of the State of Washington
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am returning herewith, without my approval as to sections 5 and 19, Senate Bill No. 5474, entitled:
"AN ACT Relating to discrimination;"
Senate Bill No. 5474 strengthens the penalties available to the Human Rights Commission for civil rights violations. I strongly support the bill's direction in this, as well as a number of technical clean up provisions. However, section 5 of the bill would unnecessarily amend the definition of disability in Chapter 49.60 RCW, the state Law Against Discrimination. The determination of disabilities under current law can be examined by the Commission on a case by case basis.
Section 19 of the bill amends RCW 49.60.224. This same section of law is amended to include the changes contained in this bill in section 8 of House Bill No. 1476 which I have already signed. Therefore, section 19 is unnecessary.
For these reasons, I have vetoed sections 5 and 19 of Senate Bill No. 5474.
With the exception of sections 5 and 19, Senate Bill No. 5474 is approved.
Respectfully submitted,
MIKE LOWRY, Governor

PARTIAL VETO MESSAGE ON ENGROSSED SECOND SUBSTITUTE SENATE BILL NO. 5502
May 18, 1993
To the Honorable President and Members,
The Senate of the State of Washington
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am returning herewith, without my approval as to sections 16 and 19, Engrossed Second Substitute Senate Bill No. 5502, entitled:
"AN ACT Relating to state and local government regulation of surface mining;"
This legislation will greatly enhance the state's ability to regulate surface mining reclamation and to protect public resources. However, certain sections of the bill clearly restrict the ability of local governments to regulate surface mining itself.
Section 16 imposes state direction on the designation of mineral resource lands, which the Growth Management Act allows counties free authority to designate. Section 16 also limits the ability of local jurisdictions to regulate surface mining and to provide local protection of air and water resources. Section 19 precludes local jurisdictions from dealing with water impacts of surface mines. Both of these sections limit local jurisdictions regulatory ability to those areas not already regulated by the state or federal governments. This unnecessarily restricts the ability of local government to adequately regulate surface mining.
For these reasons, I am vetoing sections 16 and 19.
With the exception of sections 16 and 19, Engrossed Second Substitute Senate Bill No. 5502 is approved.
Respectfully submitted,
MIKE LOWRY, Governor

PARTIAL VETO MESSAGE ON SUBSTITUTE SENATE BILL NO. 5717
May 28, 1993
To the Honorable President and Members,
The Senate of the State of Washington
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am returning herewith, without my approval as to sections 469(6)(b) and 1023 of Substitute Senate Bill No. 5717, entitled:
"AN ACT Relating to the capital budget;"
My reasons for vetoing these sections are as follows:
Section 469(6)(b), page 79, Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program (Interagency Committee for Outdoor Recreation)
Section 469(6)(b) removes a specific project acquiring habitat for the sharptailed grouse from the Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program's approved project list for 1993-95. Acquisition and preservation of habitat for this species is critical as increasing agricultural development is threatening critical habitat and breeding grounds. Too, this project has already received careful scrutiny by the Interagency Committee for Outdoor Recreation during the project evaluation phase. For this reason, I am vetoing subsection (6)(b) of section 469 and allowing this valuable project to move forward as planned.
Section 1023, page 176, Puget Sound Water Quality Authority
Section 1023 amends the enabling legislation for the Puget Sound Water Quality Authority by removing the requirement that the Authority be housed with the Department of Ecology in Lacey. The state has been actively pursuing opportunities for collocation in agency housing, particularly in those situations where agency missions are compatible. In order to ensure better coordination of the implementation of the Puget Sound Water Quality Authority Management Plan, it makes sense to consider collocation of the PSWQA and the Department of Ecology. Therefore, I am vetoing Section 1023.
For the reasons stated above, I have vetoed sections 469(6)(b) and 1023 of Substitute Senate Bill No. 5717.
With the exceptions of sections 469(6)(b) and 1023, Substitute Senate Bill No. 5717 is approved.

PARTIAL VETO MESSAGE ON ENGROSSED SUBSTITUTE SENATE BILL NO. 5724
May 28, 1993
To the Honorable President and Members,
The Senate of the State of Washington
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am returning herewith, without my approval as to section 20, Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 5724, entitled:
"AN ACT Relating to nursing home auditing and reimbursement;"
Section 20 of Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 5724 directs the Department of Social and Health Services to provide a prospective rate enhancement of $50,000 per year to all nursing homes meeting four specific criteria.
Because this rate enhancement will be included in the reimbursement statute, it will become part of the state plan which must be submitted to the federal government. Since it has never been a part of the nursing home rate-setting mechanism, the enhancement jeopardizes federal matching funds and will ultimately be disallowed.
Additionally, I believe Washington's nursing home reimbursement system adequately reimburses facilities for their allowable expenses, and this rate enhancement creates an inequitable situation.
With the exception of section 20, Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 5724 is approved.
Respectfully submitted,
MIKE LOWRY, Governor

PARTIAL VETO MESSAGE ON SUBSTITUTE SENATE BILL NO. 5736
May 18, 1993
To the Honorable President and Members,
The Senate of the State of Washington
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am returning herewith, without my approval of sections 2 and 3, Substitute Senate Bill No. 5736 entitled:
"AN ACT Relating to chiropractic care for industrial insurance;"
Section 2 of Substitute Senate Bill No. 5736 would create the position of associate medical director for chiropractic in state statute. It is my understanding that the Department of Labor and Industries has funding for such a position and intends to hire a qualified candidate. No position other than the Director of the Department of Labor and Industries is currently specified in statute. This requirement appears to be overly prescriptive and limits the discretion of the agency's director.
Section 3 would prohibit the termination of treatment based solely on the number of treatments. This provision is not consistent with the direction in which our state is moving with regard to health care reform.
For these reasons, I have vetoed sections 2 and 3, of Substitute Senate Bill No. 5736.
With the exception of sections 2 and 3, Substitute Senate Bill No. 5736 is approved.
Respectfully submitted,
MIKE LOWRY, Governor

PARTIAL VETO MESSAGE ON ENGROSSED SUBSTITUTE SENATE BILL NO. 5888
May 18, 1993
To the Honorable President and Members,
The Senate of the State of Washington
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am returning herewith, without my approval as to sections 22 and 23, Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 5888, entitled:
"AN ACT Relating to improvement of retirement system benefits;"
Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 5888 provides for improvements to retirement system benefits. Sections 22 and 23 of the legislation proposed adding two additional legislators to the existing membership of the State Investment Board (SIB). While I acknowledge the extreme importance of the SIB, the current membership of the board is a balance between legislative and executive branch representatives and representatives of the retirement system membership. In addition, the SIB has new members that are attempting to fulfill this serious responsibility to the State of Washington, and they should be allowed to determine their new direction before the composition of membership is altered.
With the exception of sections 22 and 23, Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 5888 is approved.

PARTIAL VETO MESSAGE ON ENGROSSED SENATE BILL NO. 5925
May 28, 1993
To the Honorable President and Members,
The Senate of the State of Washington
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am returning herewith, without my approval as to section 2, Engrossed Senate Bill No. 5925 entitled:
"AN ACT Relating to excise taxation of lodging;"
This bill relates to the assessment and usage of local option hotel/motel taxes.
Section 2 of this bill directs the Department of Revenue to collect the hotel/motel taxes addressed in the bill on behalf of the county and at no cost to the county. Section 2 is not necessary since revenue collection provisions of the hotel/motel tax were amended in Engrossed Substitute House Bill No. 1862 which I signed on May 15th. Engrossed Substitute House Bill No. 1862 contains a more comprehensive treatment of hotel/motel tax collections and is designed to cover all applications of this tax. That bill contains the preferred wording for implementation of both bills.
With the exception of section 2, Engrossed Senate Bill No. 5925 is approved.

MESSAGE FROM THE GOVERNOR
PARTIAL VETO MESSAGE ON REENGROSSED SUBSTITUTE SENATE BILL NO. 5967
May 28, 1993
To the Honorable President and Members,
The Senate of the State of Washington
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am returning herewith, without my approval as to sections 306, 405, 406, 407, and 1001, Reengrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 5967 entitled:
"AN ACT Relating to taxation;"
Section 306 amends current law which provides a sales tax exemption for property purchased for use outside this state by nonresidents of Washington who live in a state or Canadian province with a sales tax rate of less than three percent by adding the requirement that the beneficiary state be "contiguous to the state of Washington." This would effectively limit the exemption to only Oregon residents.
This amendment presents a constitutional problem, since there does not appear to be a rational basis for distinguishing between residents of noncontiguous states and residents of contiguous states. If a successful class action lawsuit was brought on behalf of all affected parties, the state's costs for administering any payout to members of the class could be substantial.
While I agree that amending current law is necessary, I have vetoed this section because I am concerned with the possible unconstitutionality of this amendment and the consequences of potential lawsuits. Therefore, I will ask the Department of Revenue to develop legislation which addresses the proponents concerns and avoids the constitutional problems for consideration during the 1994 Legislative Session.
Sections 405, 406, and 407 extend the sales and use tax deferral program of chapter 82.61 RCW to include any pulp and paper products plant in operation prior to 1960 and located in a county with a population between 40,000 and 70,000. It was the intent of the sales tax deferral program to encourage new business locations in the state, not to provide a tax break for existing businesses. These sections were not intended to benefit the pulp and paper products industry generally; rather, these criteria were very carefully drawn in order to limit availability of the deferral program to a single taxpayer.
However, the impact could be significantly greater because several taxpayers potentially qualify for the program. Counties that are eligible based on the population range of 40,000 to 70,000 are Chelan, Clallam, Grant, Grays Harbor, Island, Lewis, and Walla Walla. At least four pulp and paper products companies located in these counties where in operation prior to 1960. In addition, there are 21 other pulp and paper products companies that were established prior to 1960, but which are headquartered in non-eligible counties. If any of these 21 other companies also have a plant in an eligible county, they could potentially qualify.
For these reasons, I have vetoed section 405, 406, and 407.
Sections 1001 requires the Department of Revenue to determine the amount of revenue generated in excess of projections during the biennium as a result of this act. The State Treasurer would transfer the excess revenue from the general fund to the budget stabilization account. If actual revenue collections exceed the forecast, the Legislature can always choose to make transfers to the budget stabilization account. Therefore, it is not clear why this section is needed.
In addition, this section would require costly and burdensome accounting procedures for the Department of Revenue and would require the department to make unreasonable, and in some cases impossible requests for information from taxpayers. The Department of Revenue already has the capability to measure these and other revenues by other means which are less costly to administer and do not place unreasonable burdens on taxpayers.
For these reasons, I have vetoed section 1001. However, in line with the intent of this section, I am directing the Department of Revenue to report quarterly how well estimates for all of these revenue sources are tracking.
With the exception of sections 306, 405, 406, 407, and 1001, Reengrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 5967 is approved.

PARTIAL VETO MESSAGE ON SUBSTITUTE SENATE BILL NO. 5968
May 28, 1993
To the Honorable President and Members,
The Senate of the State of Washington
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am returning herewith, without my approval as to sections 121(2); 125(1), (2); 202(7); 204(2)(d); 205(4)(a)(iii), (4)(b)(lines 12-17), (4)(b)(iii), (4)(b)(iv); 207(2); (3); 209(10); 217(1), (3), (4), (7), (8), (9); 226 lines 22-24; 229(16); 305(1); 308(1), (2), (4), (9); 501(1)(d); 707 line 14; 904; and 905(1) of Substitute Senate Bill No. 5968, entitled:
"AN ACT Relating to fiscal matters;"
My reasons for vetoing these sections are as follows:
Section 121(2), page 7, Performance Audits, (State Auditor)
Sections 121(2) provides $200,000 in appropriation authority from the Audit Services Revolving Account for the State Auditor to cover the costs of that agency's involvement in the three performance audits required in Section 904. Since I am also vetoing Section 904, I will ask the State Auditor to place these funds in reserve in recognition of this veto.
Section 125(1), page 9, Report on Implementation of Reductions (Office of Financial Management)
This subsection requires the Office of Financial Management to compile agency reports relating to implementation of budget reductions and efficiencies, and to submit those reports to the Legislature by December 1, 1993. Although I understand the Legislature's interest in these issues, the proviso as written is vague as to the intent and content of these reports. The existing allotment process represents the agencies' spending plan under the new budget and will be available long before the December deadline. I am willing to work with the Legislature to see that their interest for budget implementation formation is met, but I'm reluctant to impose a significant workload on agencies without more specific objectives.
Section 125(2), page 9, Administrative Cost Reporting System (Office of Financial Management)
Subsection 125(2) requires OFM to develop and implement a state-wide reporting system in support of the administrative detail required in section 904 (Performance Audits). Since I am vetoing section 904, the specific reason for this reporting system requirement in OFM is eliminated.
I do, however, share the Legislature's interest in uniform accounting practices and a more consistent approach to the reporting of administrative costs. I will instruct the Office of Financial Management to review our existing reporting structure and to work with legislative staff on possible improvements.
Section 202(7), page 19, Child Care Rates (Children and Family Services, Department of Social and Health Services)
This subsection requires the Department of Social and Health Services to reimburse child care providers at the 75th percentile of the 1992 market rate on a phased-in basis beginning on December 1, 1993. I am vetoing this subsection because there is a technical error in the proviso language. It should read "at the 75th percentile or the provider's usual rate, whichever is lower...." I am directing the Department of Social and Health Services to comply with the intent of the proviso to implement changes in child care rates beginning December 1, 1993.
Section 204(2)(d), page 23, Stop-Loss Arrangement (Mental Health, Department of Social and Health Services)
This subsection directs the Department of Social and Health Services to establish contractual relationships with the Regional Support Networks that protect against increased admissions to state hospitals of clients who are eligible for services from other programs in the agency. If the client population exceeds 110 percent of the 1991-93 average level, these other programs must bear the cost of care. I recognize the issue of dually diagnosed clients is troublesome and must be addressed; however, these programs have not been funded at levels sufficient to meet the stop-loss requirement without reducing services to current clients. I am vetoing this subsection, but I am directing DSHS to strengthen the existing collaborative agreements with the Regional Support Networks to ensure the client census is maintained at less than 110 percent of the average utilization during Fiscal Year 1993.
Section 205(4)(a)(iii) page 24, Client Assessments (Developmental Disabilities, Department of Social and Health Services)
This subsection requires the Department of Social and Health Services to assess each Residential Habilitation Center client to determine the level of support necessary to meet the client's needs. There are insufficient time and resources to complete this requirement, and it is unnecessarily duplicative of existing assessment tools. I am vetoing this subsection, but I am directing the Department to complete an independent assessment for each individual who is being moved into the community.
Section 205(4)(b)(lines 12-17), (4)(b)(iii), and (4)(b)(iv), page 25, Community Residential Services Reconfiguration (Division of Developmental Disabilities, Department of Social and Health Services)
This subsection requires the Department of Social and Health Services to reduce the per capita costs of community residential services programs by 6.7 percent during the last 18 months of the 1993-95 Biennium below the amount expended during the last quarter of the current biennium. While I acknowledge these savings must be achieved, subsection (b) and sub-subsections (b)(iii) and (b)(iv) are overly cumbersome, limit the Department's flexibility to manage its resources, and do not provide sufficient time to accomplish their purpose. I am vetoing lines 12 through 17 and 25 through 32, but in order to ensure these savings are maintained consistent with legislative intent, I am directing the Department to explore other means to achieve this reduction, such as implementing the reduction on an earlier date.
Section 207(2), page 27, State Supplementary Income Payments (Income Assistance, Department of Social and Health Services)
This subsection would reduce state supplementary payments to 80,000 blind, disabled, and elderly Washington residents. The current fiscal situation has forced us to make very difficult choices, many of which directly affect people who rely on state services. Nonetheless, I cannot in good conscience approve a measure to reduce state support for these individuals, who are truly our most vulnerable residents. Furthermore, it would be extremely difficult to administer these payments in such a way as to maintain the current spending level while the caseload increases without jeopardizing all federal Title XIX funds. I have therefore directed the Department of Social and Health Services to allocate these funds in accordance with current policy.
Section 207(3), page 27, Public Assistance (Income Assistance, Department of Social and Health Services)
This section would require that the Department of Social and Health Services eliminate the "100-hour rule" for two-parent families receiving aid to families with dependent children. Since this rule acts as a disincentive for families to work, I fully support the intent of this subsection. However, funds for the implementation of this rule change are not included in the budget. Therefore, I am vetoing this subsection and directing the Department to pursue a federal waiver of this rule. I intend to recommend funding in the 1994 legislative session to eliminate the "100-hour rule."
Section 209(10), page 30, Chiropractic Services (Medical Assistance, Department of Social and Health Services)
This proviso earmarks $3,372,000 General Fund-State to provide chiropractic services for Medical Assistance clients. I am vetoing this subsection because no additional funding has been provided for these services. The Department of Social and Health Services cannot reinstate these services within appropriated funding.
Section 217(1), (3), (4), (8), and (9), page 34-36, General-Fund State Appropriations (Department of Community Development)
Subsections 1, 3, 4, 8, and 9 restrict use of 38 percent of the Department's General Fund-state budget. The language for each of these subsections was intended to allow the Department Flexibility to manage the nonspecific General Fund-State budget reductions. However, conflicting legal interpretations of the language make a veto necessary to ensure the needed flexibility. I am directing the Department to honor the purpose of the proviso language for each subsection by allocating the nonspecific reductions as uniformly as possible. Therefore, I am directing the Department to provide substantially similar funding levels for emergency food assistance, food stamp outreach, the Seattle Children's Museum, emergency medical support for Mt. St. Helens' National Monument, emergency shelter assistance, and growth management grants.
Sections 217(7), page 36, Federal and Private Grant Assistance (Department of Community Development)
Subsection 7 requires the Department to use existing staff resources to research the availability of economic development grants. In addition the Department is required to assist state and local organizations to research the availability of these grants. The economic development budget at the Department has been reduced by 20 percent. At the same time, the expectation is for the economic development program to provide essentially the current service level to federal timber dependent communities, to implement the requirements of House Bill No. 1493 pertaining to women and minority owned businesses, and to maintain a statewide program. Although the Community Finance staff attempt to maximize the use of all resources for economic development, the proviso places an undue burden on the existing resources and sets up expectations that will be difficult to meet. Although I am vetoing this proviso, the Department is directed, within available resources, to provide assistance as required by this proviso.
Section 226, lines 22-24, page 43, (Department of Corrections)
This proviso requires the Department to address the mental health needs of inmates within existing resources. I believe this is an unrealistic expectation. My budget recommendation would have provided $2,900,000 to begin the expansion of mental health services for offenders. There are an estimated 1,100 mentally ill offenders in Washington's prison system. These offenders generally receive longer sentences, serve more of their total sentence, receive more infractions, and are housed under a higher security level than the rest of the inmate population and are therefore much more expensive to house. If we wish to slow the growth in our prison costs, we must invest the required funding for this program. In vetoing this proviso I am urging the Legislature to recognize these needs with actual funding in future sessions.
Section 229(16), page 45, (Employment Security Department)
This proviso earmarks $2,000,000 (Employment and Training Trust Fund) for operation of 13 job service centers located in community and technical college campuses. I am vetoing this subsection to maximize the Employment Security Department's flexibility to use its
resources to provide a broad range of services across the state and meet the legislative intent contained in Engrossed Substitute House Bill No. 1988. I will ask that seven co-located Job Service Centers be established in the 1993-95 Biennium.
Section 305(1), page 50, Puget Sound Water Quality Management Plan (State Parks and Recreation Commission)
A technical error was made in the proviso language in this section. The Legislature has provided funding to the State Parks and Recreation Commission for its Plan-related activities out of the Aquatic Lands Enhancement Account (ALEA). This section incorrectly
provisos General Fund-State moneys for this purpose. Although I am vetoing this proviso, the $189,000 in ALEA funds must be spent for Plan activities.
Section 308(1), (2), and (4), page 52, European Trade Office, Washington Technology Center, and the Clean Washington Center (Department of Trade and Economic Development)
I strongly believe that these programs are valuable, productive elements of the state's economic development program. However, the budget for the Department passed by the Legislature will force a reevaluation of all economic development programs and a reprioritization of currently available funding. The programs specified in this section represent approximately one-third of the Department's total budget. I have vetoed these sections not because I believe the programs specified herein should necessarily suffer further budget reductions, but because I believe that they should not be protected or excluded from the comprehensive program and budget evaluation which the Department must conduct. I am directing the Department to honor the purpose of the proviso language for the European Trade Office, the Clean Washington Center, and the Washington Technology Center within this context.
Section 308(9), page 53, Engrossed Substitute House Bill 1493 -- Minority and Women-Owned Businesses (Department of Trade and Economic Development)
The Legislature intended to fund the programs established in Engrossed Substitute House Bill No. 1493 using federal dollars transferred from the Washington Economic Development Finance Authority (WEDFA) account. The transfer from WEDFA to the General Fund-Federal account was not included in the appropriation bill and the proviso language in this section incorrectly specifies General Fund-State to implement ESHB No. 1493. I will seek a supplemental budget change to correct this error and make the federal funds available for these programs.
Section 501(1)(d), page 63, Demonstration Project (Superintendent of Public Instruction)
I am vetoing this proviso because it would require the Superintendent of Public Instruction to spend federal Chapter 2 funds in a manner inconsistent with federal government rules and statutes by supplanting state funds that previously funded special education demonstration projects. The Superintendent of Public Instruction has indicated that other available funds have been identified to meet the needs of the special services demonstration projects this proviso was intended to satisfy.
Section 707, page 97, line 14, Basic Data Account Transfer to the Tort Claims Revolving Fund
A transfer of $16,000 is made from the Basic Data Account into the Tort Claims Revolving Fund. The inclusion of the Basic Data Account in the funds that will be transferred into the Tort Claims Revolving Fund was an error. The transfer should have been from the Lottery Administration Account. Transfer from the correct fund will need to be made in the 1994 supplemental budget.
Section 904, page 113, Performance Audits.
On May 15, 1993, I signed into law the Accountability in Government Act of 1993 (Engrossed Substitute House Bill No. 1372). That new law starts Washington down the road toward performance-based government. It requires agencies to identify measurable, outcome-based objectives for each major program. It also directs the Office of Financial Management to prepare a plan for determining how well agencies are meeting those objectives. I strongly support performance-based government; my office worked directly with the Legislature in the development of this legislation. OFM will involve the Legislature and executive agencies in implementing ESHB No. 1372.
Section 904 is directly tied to ESHB No. 1372. But the work required by the bill must be completed before the three audits mandated by Section 904 can be carried out. OFM and state agencies need time to develop reliable program objectives and the plan to apply those objectives to tangible products, like performance audits, as envisioned in ESHB No. 1372. The audit requirements of Section 904 are, therefore, premature. For this reason, I have vetoed Section 904.
Section 905(1), page 114, Lease/Purchase Financing Agreements
Section 905(1) would require that the Office of Financial Management review all agency requests for the acquisition of equipment by lease/purchase financing agreements to ensure that 1) the method of acquisition offers a significant financial advantage to the state, and 2) the term of the installment contract does not exceed the useful life of the item being purchased. I am vetoing this subsection because under current procedures, the Office of State Treasurer (OST) reviews all agency requests for lease/purchase to ensure that the purchases meet these criteria. I will direct OFM to work with the OST and to manage the allocation of the $35 million limit on lease/purchases from the General Fund, as was done during the 1991-93 Biennium.
Although this concludes my list of vetoes, I want to register concerns with two sections that I have signed with reservation:
Section 715 directs payment of an industrial insurance death benefit. While I am in sympathy with the facts of this particular case, I am strongly opposed to using the relief process as a way to pay denied industrial insurance claims. I hope that in the future the legislature will not use the sundry claims process to reserve final decisions of this type, but rather will address the underlying question of whether changes in industrial insurance laws and appeals procedures are needed.
Section 924 eliminates the General Fund-State transfer to the Water Quality Account for the 1993-95 Biennium. I believe clean water is vitally important. I also believe it is important to have a stable level of state funding that will enable local governments to dedicate sizable portions of their own resources to clean water efforts and to achieve mandated state and federal water quality requirements. I have signed this section because of the impact that vetoing it would have on the fund balance for the state General Fund and because removal of the General Fund transfer is for the 1993-95 Biennium only.
With the exceptions of sections 121(2); 125(1), (2); 202(7); 204(2)(d); 205(4)(a)(iii), (4)(b)(lines 12-17), (4)(b)(iii), (4)(b)(iv); 207(2), (3); 209(10); 217(1), (3), (4), (7), (8), (9), 226 lines 22-24; 229(16); 305(1), 308(1), (2), (4), (9), 501(1)(d); 707 line 14; 904; and 905(1), Substitute Senate Bill No. 5968 is approved.
Respectfully submitted,
MIKE LOWRY, Governor
MESSAGE FROM THE GOVERNOR
PARTIAL VETO MESSAGE ON REENGROSSED SUBSTITUTE SENATE BILL NO. 5972
May 28, 1993
To the Honorable President and Members,
The Senate of the State of Washington
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am returning herewith, without my approval as to sections 1, page 2, lines 1 through 4; 2(2); 2(3); 25(2), page 13, lines 24 through 27; 34, page 17, line 35 through page 18, line 21; and 53, page 25 and 26 of Reengrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 5972 entitled:
"AN ACT Relating to transportation appropriations;"
My reasons for vetoing these sections are as follows:
Section 1, page 2 lines 1 through 4, Expenditure Prohibition
This provision prohibits funds appropriated in the transportation budget from being used for legislation that was not heard by either of the transportation committees. I am concerned that this administrative restriction creates a bad precedent, and that several essential bills would meet this criteria. For example, because Substitute Senate Bill No. 5968, the omnibus budget bill, and Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 5888, the retirement system bill, were not heard before either of the transportation committees, it is possible that none of the funding provided in the transportation budget bill could be used for State Patrol retirement and other transportation agency health benefits. This would cause an unacceptable disruption in retirement and health system funding for transportation agencies.
In addition, this language would keep the Department of Licensing from implementing the provisions of Substitute House Bill No. 1741, which toughen the penalties against people who ignore traffic tickets. This veto will permit the Department of Licensing to operate the program with existing funds until a supplemental can be considered next session.
Section 2(2), Abolishment of the Traffic Safety Commission
Section 2(2) would abolish the Traffic Safety Commission as of July 1, 1994 and place the Commission's responsibilities into an existing transportation agency. The Traffic Safety Commission provides a valuable multidisciplinary approach to addressing the state's traffic safety issues. Placing the agency into an existing transportation agency would risk losing the independence and broad vision that make the Commission and effective force in reducing traffic fatalities and injuries. Traffic safety is a multidimensional problem, and the current structure of the Commission helps bring together the Department of Transportation's engineering knowledge, the State Patrol's enforcement experience, the Department of Licensing's testing and record keeping activities, the Superintendent of Public Instruction's curriculum guidance, and the Department of Health's data on injuries and fatalities. Having an independent commission unencumbered by a single agency perspective contributes to the effectiveness of the Commission's activities.
Section 2(3), Proviso for $175,000 Highway Safety Fund-Federal To Be Spent For The Law and Justice Program And Move The Activity From The Department of Licensing To The Traffic Safety Commission.
Section 2(3) moves the Department of Licensing's law and justice program to the Traffic Safety Commission which, in turn, would be slated for elimination under the transportation budget. The program coordinates driver information, such as DWI suspensions and changes in traffic laws, between law enforcement agencies and the courts.
I am vetoing Section 2(3) for several reasons. First, the program belongs in the Department of Licensing and not in the Traffic Safety Commission or, if not for the veto of Section 2(2), within yet another transportation agency in the second half of the 1993-95 Biennium. Second, the amount of funds provided is a full biennial amount, yet the bill calls for its expenditure in one year. This would be a waste of money that could otherwise be used to address critical traffic safety needs of the state. Third, because the activity began as a federally funded pilot project, the proviso is a clear supplantation of federal funds. Finally, the directive is counter to the federally prescribed priority-setting process for the identification of traffic safety problems.
Section 25(2), page 13 beginning on line 24 through line 27, WSDOT - Highway Management and Facilities
This subsection calls for Legislative Transportation Committee approval of a study on the current environmental efforts used at the Department of Transportation and implementation of the study recommendations, including any suggested organizational changes, to maximize the effectiveness of the agency's environmental activities. I support the study, but implementation of the study recommendations is the responsibility of the Transportation Commission and the Secretary of Transportation. Giving administrative responsibility to the Legislative Transportation Committee to control implementation of the study findings would blur the lines of executive responsibility and legislative oversight. This veto maintains the study but gives the implementation authority back to the Department. I recommend that the Transportation Commission present the final report and implementation recommendations for review to the Office of Financial Management and to the Legislative Transportation Committee no later than December 15, 1993.
Section 34, page 17 starting on line 35 through line 21 on page 18, Charges From Other Agencies
Section 34 includes an overall appropriation for revolving fund changes and nine provisos that specify line item appropriations for the individual revolving fund charges to the Department of Transportation. The total appropriation amount is sufficient to meet all the estimated obligations; however, the line items provide too much money for some revolving fund agencies and too little for others. The individual line item provisos are overly cumbersome and limit the Department of Transportation's flexibility to meet all anticipated obligations in 1993-95 Biennium.
Section 53, page 25 and 26, Efficiency Commission Study of Revolving Fund Charges
This section calls for a Washington State Efficiency and Accountability in Government Commission study of revolving fund charges to transportation agencies. No funding has been provided in either the transportation or the operating budgets. I am committed to an overall statewide understanding of the revolving fund services and billing procedures. A study of revolving fund services and billing methodology to only transportation agencies is too limiting. To the extent possible within existing resources, I will direct the Office of Financial Management to review the operation of revolving funds across state government.
With the exceptions of sections 1, page 2, lines 1 through 4; 2(2); 2(3); 25(2), page 13, lines 24 through 27; 34, page 17, line 35 through page 18, line 21; and 53, page 25 and 26, Reengrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 5972 is approved.
Respectfully submitted,
MIKE LOWRY, Governor
MESSAGE FROM THE GOVERNOR
PARTIAL VETO MESSAGE ON ENGROSSED SUBSTITUTE SENATE BILL NO. 5980
May 28, 1993
To the Honorable President and Members,
The Senate of the State of Washington
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am returning herewith, without my approval as to sections 33, 50, and 51 of Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 5980, entitled:
"AN ACT Relating to fishing licenses;"
This bill provides important new revenues to the Department of Fisheries which will be used to maintain production at state salmon hatcheries, and other important programs of the Department. The bill also consolidates existing recreational fishing licenses. However, several sections of this legislation present potential problems.
Section 33 provides for the act to expire on January 1, 1998. Allowing this Act to expire would not only remove an important source of revenue for the Department, but would also require the Department to revert back to the current system of multiple recreational licenses. In order to remove an undue administrative burden on the Department of Fisheries and avoid consumer confusion, I am vetoing section 33.
Sections 50 and 51 establish a 400 crab pot limit for commercial fishers of coastal crab. The Department of Fisheries, in conjunction with Oregon, California, and the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission, is to complete a report on the economic viability of the coastal crab fishery. While I understand the concern of some segments of the commercial crab industry, establishing such a limit before a final report is completed is premature.
With the exception of sections 33, 50, and 51, Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 5980 is approved.
Respectfully submitted,
MIKE LOWRY, Governor
MOTION
On motion of Senator Spanel, the vetoed and partially vetoed bills were held on the desk.
