| VETO MESSAGE ON ESHB 1980 |
| May 11, 2015 |
| 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, Engrossed Substitute House Bill No. 1980 entitled: |
"AN ACT Relating to implementing recommendations of the sunshine committee." |
| Guardian Ad Litems undergo a rigorous evaluation of their backgrounds and qualifications, which include background checks that are required by law. There is no need for this information to be distributed to parties. I believe that enactment of this law would have a chilling effect on GAL programs and their ability to recruit volunteers if this information were shared with parties in dependency actions. |
| For these reasons I have vetoed Section 1 of Engrossed Substitute House Bill No. 1980. |
| With the exception of Section 1, Engrossed Substitute House Bill No. 1980 is approved. |
| Respectfully submitted, |
| Jay Inslee |
| Governor |
