| VETO MESSAGE ON SHB 1089 |
| May 16, 2011 |
| 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, Substitute House Bill 1089 entitled: |
"AN ACT Relating to instructional materials provided in a specialized format version." |
| I am vetoing the intent section, Section 1 of the bill, because it is broader than the substantive language in the bill. Vetoing the intent section may avoid confusion and does not impede implementation of the bill. |
| For this reason I have vetoed Section 1 of Substitute House Bill 1089. |
| With the exception of Section 1, Substitute House Bill 1089 is approved. |
| Respectfully submitted, |
| Christine Gregoire |
| Governor |
