Background: The operating and capital expenses of state transportation agencies and programs are funded on a biennial basis by an omnibus transportation budget adopted by the Legislature in odd-numbered years.

Senate | 41 | 8 | |
House | 77 | 19 | |
Effective: | May 13, 2009 |
Partial Veto Summary: The Governor vetoed five sections or parts of sections (appropriation items) in the biennial transportation appropriations act. In addition to removing certain directive language, the net effect of the five vetoes is to decrease state appropriations originally provided in the bill by $14,500,000. However, the entire $14,500,000 was contingent upon passage of SHB 1614 which was not enacted. Therefore, these appropriations would have lapsed despite the vetoes.
