VETO MESSAGE ON HB 1014

                   May 16, 1995

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 1-6, 11, 19, 22-24, 42, 46-53, 73, 118, 119, 125-141, 143, 152, 153, 164, 165, 169-187, 195, 198, 201, 205, 206, and 217, Engrossed House Bill No. 1014 entitled:

"AN ACT Relating to obsolete references;"

     Engrossed House Bill No. 1014 is an important effort to clarify the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) following the merger of the authorities of the former departments of Community Development and Trade and Economic Development into the new Department of Community, Trade, and Economic Development.  It is necessary to update the RCW to reflect this change.

     However, a number of sections in the bill conflict with changes in numerous other bills already enacted by the 1995 Legislature and signed into law.  I am, therefore, vetoing these sections to provide technical clarification and to ensure that the intent of the most recent legislation is reflected in law.

     For these reasons, I have vetoed sections 1-6, 11, 19, 22-24, 42, 46-53, 73, 118, 119, 125-141, 143, 152, 153, 164, 165, 169-187, 195, 198, 201, 205, 206, and 217 of Engrossed House Bill No. 1014.

     With the exception of sections 1-6, 11, 19, 22-24, 42, 46-53, 73, 118, 119, 125-141, 143, 152, 153, 164, 165, 169-187, 195, 198, 201, 205, 206, and 217, Engrossed House Bill No. 1014 is approved.

                   Respectfully submitted,

                   Mike Lowry

                   Governor
