VETO MESSAGE ON HB 1776-S
April 25, 1997
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, Substitute House Bill No. 1776 entitled:
"AN ACT Relating to school audits;"
I fully support SHB 1776 which would improve the process for resolving school district audits involving state funding. However, SHB 1776 is identical to SSB 5394, which I signed into law on April 23, 1997.
For this reason, I have vetoed Substitute House Bill No. 1776 in its entirety.
Respectfully submitted,
Gary Locke
Governor
