To the Honorable President and Members,
The House of Representatives of the State of Washington
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am returning herewith, without my approval as to sections 1, 2, 4 and 5, House Bill No. 2332 entitled:
"AN ACT Relating to a statewide voter registration data base;" House Bill No. 2332 requires colleges and universities to place on their course registration web sites a link to the secretary of state's voter registration web site.
Sections 1, 2, 4 and 5 of this bill are identical to and duplicative of provisions of Senate Bill No. 6324, which I signed into law on March 12, 2002. For these reasons, I have vetoed sections 1, 2, 4 and 5 of House Bill No. 2332.
With the exception of sections 1, 2, 4 and 5, House Bill No. 2332 is approved.
Respectfully submitted,
Gary Locke
Governor
