| VETO MESSAGE ON SB 6181 |
| May 19, 2009 |
| To the Honorable President and Members, |
| The Senate of the State of Washington |
| Ladies and Gentlemen: |
| I am returning herewith, without my approval, Senate Bill 6181 entitled: |
"AN ACT Relating to the intensive resource home pilot." |
| This bill would extend for budget purposes the suspension of the intensive resource home pilot program created in 2008 and suspended in December of that year. However, Senate Bill 6181 amends RCW 74.13.800 which was repealed by section 97 of Second Substitute Senate Bill 2106 which I signed into law today. Therefore, the suspension is no longer necessary. |
| For this reason I have vetoed Senate Bill 6181 in its entirety. |
| Respectfully submitted, |
| Christine O. Gregoire |
| Governor |
