| (DIGEST AS PASSED LEGISLATURE) |
Addresses the sealing of juvenile records. |
| VETO MESSAGE ON SHB 2541 |
| March 29, 2012 |
| 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, Substitute House Bill 2541 entitled: |
"AN ACT Relating to sealing juvenile records." |
| The policy of this bill is covered in Substitute Senate Bill 6240. Further, the two sections in Substitute House Bill 2541 would result in double amendments of RCW 13.40.127 and RCW 13.50.050 that cannot be fully reconciled with Substitute Senate Bill 6240. |
| For these reasons I have vetoed Substitute House Bill 2541 in its entirety. |
| Respectfully submitted, |
| Christine Gregoire |
| Governor |
