VETO MESSAGE ON E2SHB 1461

May 11, 2007

To the Honorable Speaker and Members,
The House of Representatives of the State of Washington

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am returning, without my approval as to Section 10, Engrossed Second Substitute House Bill 1461 entitled:

"AN ACT Relating to manufactured/mobile home community registrations and dispute resolution."

Both Section 10 of this bill and Section 9 of Substitute House Bill 2118 amend RCW 59.22.250, concerning the Office of Mobile Home Affairs, located within the Department of Community Trade & Economic Development. The amendments in separate bills may lead to confusion with legislative intent.

For this reason, I have vetoed Section 10 of Engrossed Second Substitute House Bill 1461.

With the exception of Section 10, Engrossed Second Substitute House Bill 1461 is approved.

Respectfully submitted,
Christine O. Gregoire
Governor
