MESSAGES FROM THE GOVERNOR

April 26, 2017

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 as to Section 1, Engrossed Substitute House Bill No. 1017 entitled:

³AN ACT Relating to the siting of schools and school facilities.´

Engrossed Substitute House Bill 1017 seeks to address the important and complicated subject of siting schools outside of Urban Growth Areas. While this bill adequately addresses many aspects of the issue, I remained concerned about three items that I would like to resolve with the legislature during the special session.

First, any extension of urban services to serve a rural school must be limited to the size and scale needed to support the long-term needs of the school. Second, the land surrounding a new rural school must maintain its rural character and housing density as specified in RCW 36.70A.070(5). Finally, in order for schools to be sited outside the Urban Growth Boundary Line, school districts must demonstrate that there is no suitable land available within the Urban Growth Area.

For these reasons I have vetoed Section 1 of Engrossed Substitute House Bill No. 1017.

With the exception of Section 1, Engrossed Substitute House Bill No. 1017 is approved.

Respectfully submitted,

Jay Inslee

Governor

April 25, 2017

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 No. 1877 entitled:

³AN ACT Relating to the release of driving record abstract information affecting registered tow truck operators.´

This bill prohibits actions committed by registered tow truck operators while fulfilling their occupational duties from being included in the driver record abstract requested by and submitted to insurance carriers, provided the operator has not been issued a citation. The intent and policy of this bill is identical to Section 2 of Substitute Senate Bill 5343, which I previously signed into law on April 17, 2017. This bill creates a duplication in the law and is therefore unnecessary.

For these reasons I have vetoed Substitute House Bill No. 1877 in its entirety.

Respectfully submitted,

Jay Inslee

Governor

There being no objection, the House adjourned until 12:00 p.m., May 5, 2017, the 12th Day of the 1^st Special Session.

FRANK CHOPP, Speaker

BERNARD DEAN, Chief Clerk
