The appropriations in this section are subject to the following conditions and limitations: Funding is for reductions in the expected cost of vaccine booster incentives for both represented and nonrepresented employees in general government state agencies. The underlying budget assumes an 80 percent participation rate in the incentive, far higher than the 44 percent rate of the population of Washington. This act assumes participation in the vaccine booster incentive program will be 50 percent. Agency allotments shall be adjusted for general fund-state amounts appropriated in part VII of this act for unused vaccine booster incentive payment, and those amounts placed in unalloted status and remain unexpended."
Renumber the remaining sections consecutively, and correct any references accordingly.

"NEW SECTION. Sec. 7104. FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF RETIREMENT SYSTEMS—CONTRIBUTIONS TO RETIREMENT SYSTEMS—PLAN 1 UNFUNDED LIABILTIY

TOTAL APPROPRIATION. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ($128,786,000)
The appropriations in this section are subject to the following conditions and limitations: The appropriations in this section are provided solely for the increased contribution rate requirements associated with the enactment of Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 5294 (minimum contribution rates for plan 1 unfunded liability). If the bill is not enacted by June 30, 2023, this section is null and void.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 7105. From appropriations in this act to state agencies, including institutions of higher education, for the 2023-25 fiscal biennium, the office of financial management shall reduce general fund-state allotments by $38,089,000 for fiscal year 2024 and $38,090,000 for fiscal year 2025 to reflect elimination of funding increases for diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives and programs, pursuant to allotment schedules prepared by the office of financial management.

Correct the title.
On page 1280, after line 5, insert the following:
"Washington Student Loan Account: For transfer to the state general fund, $150,000,000 for fiscal year 2023..................$150,000,000"
| EFFECT: Requires OFM to collect information from state agencies and higher education institutions on expenditures for DEI initiatives and programs, including staffing, and to compile the information into a report due to the legislature no later than January 1, 2024. Provides funding to the Department of Revenue to provide a $500 payment in fiscal year 2024 and a $500 payment in fiscal year 2025 for each individual who is eligible for the Working Families' Tax Credit program. Reduces the amount per state funded full-time equivalent student at The Evergreen State College to reflect the average amount for the public regional four-year universities. Directs OFM to reduce allotments from General Fund-State appropriations to reflect elimination of funding increases for DEI initiatives and programs in state agencies and institutions of higher education. Transfers all funding in the Washington Student Loan Account into the General Fund in fiscal year 2023. Reduces appropriations for vaccination booster incentive payments under the assumption that participation in the incentive program will be 50 percent, rather than 80 percent in the compensation provisions that are funded in the bill. In Part V - Public Schools, adjusts fringe benefit allocations for school compensation for reduced pension contribution rates due to a reduction to the unfunded actuarial accrued liability portion of the pension rates related to plans 1 of PERS and TRS. Substitutes the policies and contribution rates in Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 5294 (minimum contribution rates for plan 1 unfunded liability) for those in House Bill No. 1201 (minimum contribution rates for plan 1 unfunded liability). Differences in the bills include reducing, rather than eliminating the FY 2023 appropriation from the General Fund-State to the Teachers Retirement System Plan 1 Fund, ending the existing minimum unfunded liability contribution rates after FY 2023, and establishing new long-term minimum rates of 0.5 percent beginning in FY 2028 (in the event funding status of a plan falls below a certain threshold). In fiscal year 2023, a $250 million transfer is made into the teachers' retirement system plan 1 for application to the unfunded actuarial accrued liability.
FISCAL IMPACT: Reduces General Fund-State by $97,196,000, including the impact of a $150,000,000 increase in General Fund-State resources. Reduces WA Opportunity Pathways Account-State by $2,329,000. Reduces the WA Student Loan Account-State by $150,000. Reduces other funds by $47,435,000.
