| (DIGEST AS ENACTED) |
Makes 2017-2019 supplemental transportation appropriations. |
| VETO MESSAGE ON ESSB 6106 |
| March 27, 2018 |
| 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 208(19), 207(8), 208(1), 208(22), 208(25), 208(26), 208(28), 208(29), 208(30), and 212(3), Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 6106 entitled: |
"AN ACT Relating to transportation funding and appropriations." |
| Section 208(19), pages 23-24, Department of Licensing, Licensing Services Work Group |
| Section 208(19) directs the department to convene a work group comprised of a county auditor, county licensing manager, and three subagent representatives to assess the current licensing services system and the establishment of a new licensing services partnership committee. The work group must consider and make recommendations on expanding services offered by subagents, establishing voluntary payment plans and automatic renewal options, and reviewing the current financial environment of subagents and county auditors. The department already has a specific licensing committee that meets twice a year. It also meets twice a year with the Washington Association of Vehicle Subagents. In addition, the proviso did not provide funding for this work group. While I encourage looking at ways to improve services to the public, this work group provides a forum for communication that already exists and funding is not provided to support the work group. For these reasons, I have vetoed Section 208(19). |
| I am vetoing the following sections related to bills that did not pass the legislature resulting in the lapse of funding. My veto of these sections will serve to clean up these unnecessary sections of the bill. |
