the exception of a certain item in Section 77 whichwas vetoed.NOTE: Governor's explanation of partial veto is as follows:

"This legislation is among the most significant enacted by theFortieth Legislature. It provides for a statewide system of communitycolleges organized into twenty-two community college districts.

"The bill contemplates that vocational-technical institutes will be-come a part of the community college system; however, section 77 ofthe bill grants to common school districts in counties of the second.first, A and AA class the option of maintaining any existing vocational-technical institute independent of the community college system, ifthe institute were operated independently of a community college onJanuary 1, 1987.

"According to the Superintendent of Public ]instruction thevocational-technical institutes which would be affected by this provision

of the bill are located in the Bellingham, Clover Park, Lake Washington,Olympia, Renton, Tacoma and Walla Walla school districts. The Olym-pia and Walla Walla institutes are located in third class counties; thusthese school districts would not have the option afforded by section 77to the other five school districts operating independent vocational-technical institutes. This may be of little consequence In Walla Wallawhere tihe school district plans to operate its institute as a part of theWalla Walla Community College; thus Olympia school district may bethe only district denied the option to maintain an Independentvocational-technical institute.

"Irrespective of the choice which may be made by these local dis-tricts, I believe it should be a choice equally available to all districtsmaintaining independent vocational-technical institutes. Therefore, Ihave vetoed that portion of section 77 which limits this choice todistricts

'Located in any county of the second, first, A or AA class.'"The remainder of Substitute House Bill No. 548 is approved."
