VETO MESSAGE ON SB 5925
April 19, 1997
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 section 2, Senate Bill No. 5925 entitled:
"AN ACT Relating to certified instructional staff salaries;"
The emergency clause in section 2 is not needed. SB 5925 codifies the current state policy on credits recognized for state funding. The bill will not affect state funding or school district reporting for the 1996-97 school year. Without the emergency clause, the bill will take effect before September 1, 1997, the beginning of the 1997-98 school year.
For these reasons, I have vetoed section 2 of Senate Bill No. 5925. With the exception of section 2, I am approving Senate Bill No. 5925.
Respectfully submitted,
Gary Locke
Governor
