VETO MESSAGE ON SB 6189-S

 

March 26, 2004

 

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 47 (40), 47 (41) and 47 (42), Substitute Senate Bill No. 6189 entitled:

 

"AN ACT Relating to receiverships;"

 

This bill develops a body of statutes to govern receivership proceedings and consolidates these laws into one chapter.

 

In creating this chapter, it was necessary to repeal duplicative or inconsistent statutes. These statutes are repealed in section 47. Section 47 (40) repeals RCW 24.03.310; section 47 (41) repeals RCW 24.03.315; and section 47 (42) repeals RCW 24.03.320. All three statutes deal with foreign corporations, and have no connection with receivership proceedings. These statutes were included in error, as the statutes that were meant to be repealed are RCW 24.06.310, RCW 24.06.315, and RCW 24.06.320.

 

For these reasons, I have vetoed sections 47 (40), 47 (41) and 47 (42) of Substitute Senate Bill No. 6189.

 

With the exception of sections 47 (40), 47 (41) and 47 (42), Substitute Senate Bill No. 6189 is approved.

 

Respectfully submitted,

Gary Locke

Governor
