VETO MESSAGE ON SB 5542

April 16, 2009

To the Honorable President and Members,
The Senate of the State of Washington

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am returning, without my approval, Senate Bill 5542 entitled:

"AN ACT Relating to members of the law enforcement officers' and firefighters' retirement system plan 2 who were disabled in the line of duty before January 1, 2001."

This bill is identical to House Bill 1678, which I signed into law on April 15, 2009.

For this reason I have vetoed Senate Bill 5542 in its entirety.

Respectfully submitted,
Christine Gregoire
Governor
