ENGROSSED SUBSTITUTE SENATE BILL NO. 5212,

and the same is herewith transmitted.

Mike O’Connell, Secretary

MESSAGE FROM THE SECRETARY OF STATE

The Honorable Speaker of the House of Representatives

Legislature of the State of Washington

Olympia Washington

Mr. Speaker:

On January 13, 1997, this office certified that we had begun the signature checking process on Initiative to the Legislature #192 which was originally filed with this office on April 4, 1996.

We have completed a canvass of 58,883 signatures out of 188,967 signatures submitted in support of this measure. Of the number canvassed, we have determined that 49,380 were signatures of legal voters, 9,503 were either not registered, illegible or were multiple signatures.

Article II, section 1A of the State Constitution establishes the minimum number of acceptable signatures in order to qualify an initiative measure for the ballot as eight percent of the total votes cast for the office of Governor, or 181,667 signatures. The total number of invalid signatures permissible on Initiative Measure #192, therefore is 7,300 (188,967 - 181,667).

Since the total number of invalid signatures discovered during the canvassing procedure was 9,503, which exceeds the permissible number, we have terminated the signature checking process and we are unable to certify the measure to you for your consideration.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have set my hand and affixed the Seal of the State of Washington this 29^th day of January, 1997.

(SEAL)

RALPH MUNRO, Secretary of State
