| VETO MESSAGE ON SSB 5734 |
| May 19, 2009 |
| To the Honorable President and Members, |
| The Senate of the State of Washington |
| Ladies and Gentlemen: |
| I have approved, except for Section 2, Substitute Senate Bill 5734 entitled: |
"AN ACT Relating to tuition fees." |
| Section 2 of Substitute Senate Bill 5734 is identical to Section 3 in Engrossed Substitute House Bill 2344 that I signed yesterday. Signing two bills with identical sections may cause confusion, so I am vetoing this iteration of the performance audit requirement. |
| For this reason, I have vetoed Section 2 of Substitute Senate Bill 5734. |
| With the exception of Section 2, Substitute Senate Bill 5734 is approved. |
| Respectfully submitted, |
| Christine O. Gregoire |
| Governor |
