| VETO MESSAGE ON SHB 1518 |
| April 21, 2009 |
| 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, Substitute House Bill 1518 entitled: |
"AN ACT Relating to prohibited practices in accountancy." |
| This bill is identical to Substitute Senate Bill 5434 which I signed on April 16, 2009. Because the provisions of that identical bill are already law, I am vetoing Substitute House Bill 1518 to avoid duplication and confusion. |
| For this reason I have vetoed Substitute House Bill 1518 in its entirety. |
| Respectfully submitted, |
| Christine Gregoire |
| Governor |
