On page 13, after line 21 of the striking amendment, insert the following:

"Sec. 18. RCW 29A.12.050 and 2003 c 111 s 305 are each amended to read as follows:

(1) If voting systems or devices or vote tallying systems are to be used for conducting a primary or election, only those that have the approval of the secretary of state or had been approved under this chapter or the former chapter 29.34 RCW before March 22, 1982, may be used. Any modification, change, or improvement to any voting system or component of a system that does not impair its accuracy, efficiency, or capacity or extend its function, may be made without reexamination or reapproval by the secretary of state under RCW 29A. 12.020.

(2) The secretary of state may not grant emergency approval to a vote tabulation system or voting equipment that is to be used in an election conducted using ranked choice voting as provided in section 1 of this act."

Renumber the remaining sections consecutively and correct any internal references accordingly.
