VETO MESSAGE ON SB 5179-S

                   May 10, 1999

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 903, Substitute Senate Bill No. 5179 entitled:

"AN ACT Relating to the authority of the parks and recreation commission;"

     I am returning herewith without my approval as to section 903, Substitute Senate Bill 5179.   Section 903 amends RCW 43.51.140 and chapter 156, section 2, Laws of 1982. This provision of law was recently amended by my signing of House Bill 1331.  The language in section 903 does not correspond to the change made in House Bill 1331.  To avoid conflicting statutory provisions, I am vetoing section 903.

     For this reason, I have vetoed section 903 of Substitute Senate Bill No. 5179.

     With the exception of section 903, Substitute Senate Bill No. 5179 is approved.

                   Respectfully submitted,

                   Gary Locke

                   Governor
