On page 8, after line 29, insert the following:

"(3) On January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1 of each year in which a distributor responsibility organization implements a deposit return system, the distributor responsibility organization must transfer funds to the state treasurer, for deposit in the waste reduction, recycling, and litter control account created in RCW 70A.200.140, in an amount equal to the unclaimed refunds during the previous quarter of deposit return system implementation. The amount of unclaimed refunds must be calculated by subtracting the value of deposits remitted for the return of qualifying beverage containers during the preceding quarter of program implementation from the value of deposits charged for all qualifying beverage containers during the preceding quarter of program implementation."
