MESSAGE FROM THE SECRETARY OF STATE
The Honorable Brad Owen
President of the Senate
Legislature of the State of Washington
Olympia, Washington 98504
Dear President Owen:
We respectfully transmit for your consideration the following bill which has been partially vetoed by the Governor, together with the official veto message setting forth his objections to the section or items of the bill, as required by Article III, section 12, of the Washington State Constitution:
ENGROSSED SUBSTITUTE SENATE BILL NO. 6072
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my
hand and affixed the Seal of the state of Washington,
this 16th day of May, 2003.
(Seal) SAM REED
Secretary of State
MESSAGE FROM THE GOVERNOR
May 14, 2003
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 6, Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 6072 entitled:
"AN ACT Relating to funding pollution abatement and response;"
This bill establishes funding for a tugboat to reduce the risk of major maritime accidents, to enhance emission control for school buses, and to reduce and monitor vehicle air emissions.
I support these important environmental responsibilities, and appreciate the work of the legislature to provide for these activities within existing funds. However, section 6 of this bill would inadvertently eliminate the fifty-dollar physical inspection fee required for some out-of-state vehicles prior to registration in Washington State. I am, therefore, vetoing section 6 of this bill in order to maintain the inspection fee, which provides $2.5 million annual revenue for this important public safety program.
For these reasons, I have vetoed section 6 of Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 6072.
With the exception of section 6, Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 6072 is approved.
Respectfully submitted,
GARY LOCKE, Governor
