| VETO MESSAGE ON ESHB 2692 |
| March 29, 2012 |
| To the Honorable Speaker and Members, |
| The House of Representatives of the State of Washington |
| Ladies and Gentlemen: |
| I have approved, except for Section 1, Engrossed Substitute House Bill 2692 entitled: |
"AN ACT Relating to the reduction of the commercial sale of sex." |
| I am vetoing Section 1 because it amends the same section of the Revised Code of Washington that is amended in Section 3 of Engrossed Substitute House Bill 1983. The amendments cannot be reconciled. |
| For this reason I have vetoed Section 1 of Engrossed Substitute House Bill 2692. |
| With the exception of Section 1, Engrossed Substitute House Bill 2692 is approved. |
| Respectfully submitted, |
| Christine Gregoire |
| Governor |
