| VETO MESSAGE ON SHB 2939 |
| March 30, 2010 |
| 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 as to Section 2, Substitute House Bill 2939 entitled: |
"AN ACT Relating to notations on driver abstracts that a person was not at fault in a motor vehicle accident." |
| Section 2 of the legislation states the bill is null and void if funding is not provided in the transportation budget. The transportation budget as passed the Legislature did not contain funding for this bill. However, I am vetoing this section with the understanding that the Department of Licensing will assess the costs of implementing the bill and request any needed funding in 2011. |
| For this reason, I have vetoed Section 2 of Substitute House Bill 2939. |
| With the exception of Section 2, Substitute House Bill 2939 is approved. |
| Respectfully submitted, |
| Christine Gregoire |
| Governor |
