| VETO MESSAGE ON E2SHB 2793 |
| March 31, 2016 |
| 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 Sections 3 and 9, Engrossed Second Substitute House Bill No. 2793 entitled: |
"AN ACT Relating to providing for suicide awareness and prevention education for safer homes." |
| Section 3 of this bill creates the safe homes project and Section 9 provides for the expiration [of] that section. These two sections are from a prior version of the bill and the final bill was not properly amended to remove them. The bill's prime sponsor and other advocates requested this veto because the work on the safe homes project is premature. The task force created in Section 2 of the bill will begin a pilot and provide the necessary ground work to better analyze the potential of this project. |
| For these reasons I have vetoed Sections 3 and 9 of Engrossed Second Substitute House Bill No. 2793. |
| With the exception of Sections 3 and 9, Engrossed Second Substitute House Bill No. 2793 is approved. |
| Respectfully submitted, |
| Jay Inslee |
| Governor |
