BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:

The

summarizing the activities of the plan adopted under RCW 48.22.070 during its

each report examine, based on the experience of the plan or other information
made available to it, whether the Washington state industrial insurance fund

Passed the House March 8, 1995.
Passed the Senate April 21, 1995.
Approved by the Governor May 11, 1995, with the exception of certain items which were vetoed.
Filed in Office of Secretary of State May 11, 1995.
Note: Governor's explanation of partial veto is as follows:
"I am returning herewith, without my approval as to section 1, Substitute House Bill No. 1547 entitled:
"AN ACT Relating to longshore and harbor workers;"
This legislation extends the Temporary Washington State/United States Longshore and Harbor Workers Assigned Risk Plan to July 1, 1997.
Section 1 of this bill refers to the reporting obligations of the advisory committee which assists in overseeing the plan. However, I have already signed Engrossed Substitute House Bill No. 1107 which eliminates numerous state boards, commissions, and committees, including the committee referenced in section 1 of Substitute House Bill No. 1547.
I am nonetheless committed to the fair and effective oversight of this plan. In this regard, I am, by separate instrument, directing the Department of Labor and Industries to establish an ad hoc committee to continue in an advisory and reporting role.
For these reasons, I am vetoing section 1 of Substitute House Bill No. 1547.
With the exception of section 1, Substitute House Bill No. 1547 is approved."
