VETO MESSAGE ON 2SHB 1709

March 31, 2014

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, Second Substitute House Bill No. 1709 entitled:

"AN ACT Relating to training for volunteer foreign language interpreters in K-12 public schools."


Section 1 is an intent section that discusses various experiences related to limited English proficient families and is not necessary to interpret or implement the substantive provisions of the bill.

For these reasons I have vetoed Section 1 of Second Substitute House Bill No. 1709.

With the exception of Section 1, Second Substitute House Bill No. 1709 is approved.

Respectfully submitted,
Jay Inslee
Governor
