| VETO MESSAGE ON SB 5045 |
| May 12, 2011 |
| To the Honorable President and Members, |
| The Senate of the State of Washington |
| Ladies and Gentlemen: |
| I have approved, except for Sections 34, 508, 520 and 590, Senate Bill 5045 entitled: |
"AN ACT Relating to making technical corrections to gender-based terms." |
| I am vetoing Section 34 because it incorrectly amends the phrase "his widow" to "his or her widow" in RCW 2.12.037. I am vetoing the following sections due to conflicting amendments in other bills already signed into law in the 2011 session: Sections 508, 520 and 590. |
| With the exception of Sections 34, 508, 520 and 590, Senate Bill 5045 is approved. |
| Respectfully submitted, |
| Christine Gregoire |
| Governor |
