VETO MESSAGE ON SHB 1089

May 16, 2011

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 1, Substitute House Bill 1089 entitled:

"AN ACT Relating to instructional materials provided in a specialized format version."

I am vetoing the intent section, Section 1 of the bill, because it is broader than the substantive language in the bill. Vetoing the intent section may avoid confusion and does not impede implementation of the bill.

For this reason I have vetoed Section 1 of Substitute House Bill 1089.

With the exception of Section 1, Substitute House Bill 1089 is approved.

Respectfully submitted,
Christine Gregoire
Governor
