VETO MESSAGE ON SB 5985

                        July 2, 1991

To the Honorable, the Senate

  of the State of Washington

Ladies and Gentlemen:

      I am returning herewith, without my approval as to sections 3 and 4, Engrossed Senate Bill No. 5985, entitled:

"AN ACT Relating to higher education health care training."

      In the 1991 Regular Legislative Session, the Legislature passed House Bill No. 1960, which I signed on May 21st.  House Bill No. 1960 contained an emergency clause and a null and void clause tying the effectiveness of the bill to a specific proviso in the 1991-93 appropriation act.  Engrossed Substitute House Bill No. 1330 (the 1991-93 appropriation act) contained a proviso for House Bill No. 1960, so when I signed Engrossed Substitute House Bill No. 1330 into law on June 30, 1991, chapter 332, laws of 1991 (House Bill No. 1960) was enacted.

      Section 3 of Engrossed Senate Bill No. 5985 repeals section 45 of chapter 332, laws of 1991 (the uncodified null and void clause).  Section 4 of Engrossed Substitute House Bill No. 5985 replaces it with a limited null and void clause.  Because the conditions of section 45 of Chapter 332, Laws of 1991 were met on June 30th, neither section 3 nor section 4 of this bill would have any effect or purpose if signed into law.  For this reason, I have vetoed sections 3 and 4 of Engrossed Senate Bill No. 5985.

      With the exception of sections 3 and 4, Engrossed Senate Bill No. 5985 is approved.

                        Respectfully submitted,

                        Booth Gardner

                        Governor
