proposals as the first stage of a competitive procurement process1that will replace the toll equipment and select a new tolling2operator for the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. The request for proposals and3subsequent competitive procurement must incorporate elements that4prioritize the overall goal of lowering costs per transaction for the5facility, such as incentives for innovative approaches which result6in lower transactional costs, requests for efficiencies on the part7of the bidder that lower operational costs, and incorporation of8technologies such as self-serve credit card machines or other point-9of-payment technologies that lower costs or improve operational10efficiencies.11

"AN ACT Relating to transportation funding and appropriations."Section 208(19), Pages 23-24, Department of Licensing, LicensingServices WorkgroupSection 208(19) directs the department to convene a workgroupcomprised of a county auditor, county licensing manager, and threesubagent representatives to assess the current licensing servicessystem and the establishment of a new licensing services partnershipcommittee. The workgroup must consider and make recommendations onexpanding services offered by subagents, establishing voluntarypayment plans and automatic renewal options, and reviewing thecurrent financial environment of subagents and county auditors. Thedepartment already has a specific licensing committee that meetstwice a year. It also meets twice a year with the WashingtonAssociation of Vehicle Subagents. In addition, the proviso did notprovide funding for this workgroup. While I encourage looking at waysto improve services to the public, this workgroup provides a forumfor communication that already exists and funding is not provided tosupport the workgroup. For these reasons, I have vetoed Section208(19).I am vetoing the following sections related to bills that did notpass the legislature resulting in the lapse of funding. My veto ofthese sections will serve to clean up these unnecessary sections ofthe bill.Section 207(8), page 18, Washington State Patrol, SHB 2278, PrivacyProtections in GovernmentSection 208(1), pages 19-20, Department of Licensing, EHB 2201 orESSB 5955, MVET Collection
