| VETO MESSAGE ON E2SHB 1341 |
| July 7, 2017 |
| 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 5, Engrossed Second Substitute House Bill No. 1341 entitled: |
"AN ACT Relating to professional certification for teachers and school administrators." |
| Section 5 requires the formation of a collaborative of at least 12 members, monthly meetings, and an extensive contracted study. But the 2017-19 omnibus appropriations act does not provide funding for the Professional Educator Standards Board to contract for this work. |
| For these reasons I have vetoed Section 5 of Engrossed Second Substitute House Bill No. 1341. |
| With the exception of Section 5, Engrossed Second Substitute House Bill No. 1341 is approved. |
| Respectfully submitted, |
| Jay Inslee |
| Governor |
