VETO MESSAGE ON HB 1813

April 30, 2007

To the Honorable Speaker and Members,
The House of Representatives of the State of Washington

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am returning, without my approval as to Section 74, House Bill No. 1813 entitled:

"AN ACT Relating to changing the name of the interagency committee for outdoor recreation."

This bill changes the name of the Interagency Committee for Outdoor Recreation to the Recreation and Conservation Funding Board. It also changes the name of the Office of the Interagency Committee to the Recreation and Conservation Office. Section 74 makes this second name change in RCW 90.71.020, the statute that created the Puget Sound Action Team. Since RCW 90.71.020 is being repealed in Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill 5372, I am vetoing Section 74 in order to avoid any confusion.

For these reasons, I have vetoed Section 74 of House Bill No. 1813.

With the exception of Section 74, House Bill No. 1813 is approved.

Respectfully submitted,
Christine O. Gregoire
Governor
