| VETO MESSAGE ON E2SSB 6242 |
| April 1, 2016 |
| 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 3, Engrossed Second Substitute Senate Bill No. 6242 entitled: |
"AN ACT Relating to the indeterminate sentence review board." |
| I am vetoing the emergency clause provision in this bill. To properly implement this legislation, the Indeterminate Sentence Review Board (ISRB) needs time to hire and train additional staff, update and create new forms, and notify offenders of the bill requirements. I expect that during this implementation process, the ISRB will continue to work closely with prosecutors and victims to improve transparency and notification. |
| For these reasons I have vetoed Section 3 of Engrossed Second Substitute Senate Bill No. 6242. |
| With the exception of Section 3, Engrossed Second Substitute Senate Bill No. 6242 is approved. |
| Respectfully submitted, |
| Jay Inslee |
| Governor |
