Pertaining to longshore and harbor workers' compensation.



    AN ACT Relating to longshore and harbor workers' compensation act insurance; amending RCW 48.22.072; amending 1993 c 177 s 3 and 1992 c 209 s 6 (uncodified); and declaring an emergency.

    The committee appointed pursuant to RCW 48.22.071 shall submit a report to the legislature no later than January 1((, 1994 and 1995)) of each year, summarizing the activities of the plan adopted under RCW 48.22.070 during its most recent fiscal year and since its inception.  ((The committee shall in each report examine, based on the experience of the plan or other information made available to it, whether the Washington state industrial insurance fund should participate in the plan adopted pursuant to RCW 48.22.070; whether there are methods that will satisfy the intent of chapter 209, Laws of 1992 that will not involve the Washington state industrial insurance fund; and the feasibility of requiring that this coverage be made directly available through the Washington state industrial insurance fund.))

    Passed the House March 8, 1995.

    Passed the Senate April 21, 1995.

Approved by the Governor May 11, 1995, with the exception of certain items which were vetoed.

    Filed in Office of Secretary of State May 11, 1995.


 

    Note: Governor's explanation of partial veto is as follows:

 

    "I am returning herewith, without my approval as to section 1, Substitute House Bill No. 1547 entitled:

 

"AN ACT Relating to longshore and harbor workers;"

 

    This legislation extends the Temporary Washington State/United States Longshore and Harbor Workers Assigned Risk Plan to July 1, 1997.

 

    Section 1 of this bill refers to the reporting obligations of the advisory committee which assists in overseeing the plan.  However, I have already signed Engrossed Substitute House Bill No. 1107 which eliminates numerous state boards, commissions, and committees, including the committee referenced in section 1 of Substitute House Bill No. 1547.

 

    I am nonetheless committed to the fair and effective oversight of this plan.  In this regard, I am, by separate instrument, directing the Department of Labor and Industries to establish an ad hoc committee to continue in an advisory and reporting role.

 

    For these reasons, I am vetoing section 1 of Substitute House Bill No. 1547.

 

    With the exception of section 1, Substitute House Bill No. 1547 is approved."
