| VETO MESSAGE ON EHB 2957 |
| March 22, 2018 |
| 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 House Bill No. 2957 entitled: |
"AN ACT Relating to reducing escape of nonnative finfish from marine finfish aquaculture facilities." |
| Section 1 is unnecessary to implement the bill and I do not agree with all the assertions made in this section. |
| For these reasons I have vetoed Section 1 of Engrossed House Bill No. 2957. |
| With the exception of Section 1, Engrossed House Bill No. 2957 is approved. |
| Respectfully submitted, |
| Jay Inslee |
| Governor |
