| VETO MESSAGE ON SSB 5788 |
| April 18, 2011 |
| To the Honorable President and Members, |
| The Senate of the State of Washington |
| Ladies and Gentlemen: |
| I am returning herewith, without my approval as to Section 501, Substitute Senate Bill 5788 entitled: |
"AN ACT Relating to regulating liquor by changing tied house and licensing provisions and making clarifying and technical changes to liquor laws." |
| The emergency clause in Section 501 provides that three sections of Substitute Senate Bill 5788 take effect on July 1, 2011. All sections of the bill will be effective ninety days after the adjournment of the session at which it was enacted, which will be no later than July 24, 2011. There is no need to provide an earlier effective date for the sections listed in Section 501. Therefore, this emergency clause is unnecessary. |
| For these reasons, I have vetoed Section 501 of Substitute Senate Bill 5788. |
| With the exception of Section 501, Substitute Senate Bill 5788 is approved. |
| Respectfully submitted, |
| Christine Gregoire |
| Governor |
