      (1) No person, except as expressly exempted by this chapter, may drive any motor vehicle upon a highway in this state unless the person has a valid driver's license issued to Washington residents under the provisions of this chapter. A violation of this subsection is a misdemeanor and is a lesser included offense within the offenses described in RCW 46.20.342(1) or 46.20.420. However, if a person in violation of this section provides the citing officer with an expired driver's license or other valid identifying documentation under RCW 46.20.035 at the time of the stop and is not in violation of RCW 46.20.342(1) or 46.20.420, the violation of this section is an infraction and is subject to a penalty of two hundred fifty dollars. If the person appears in person before the court or submits by mail written proof that he or she obtained a valid license after being cited, the court shall reduce the penalty to fifty dollars.

      (2) For the purposes of obtaining a valid driver's license, a resident is a person who manifests an intent to live or be located in this state on more than a temporary or transient basis. Evidence of residency includes but is not limited to:

Secs. 1771 through 1788; and aid to families with dependent children, 42 U.S.C. Secs. 601 through 606.

      (4) No person shall receive a driver's license unless and until he or she surrenders to the department all valid driver's licenses in his or her possession issued to him or her by any other jurisdiction. The department shall establish a procedure to invalidate the surrendered photograph license and return it to the person. The invalidated license, along with the valid temporary Washington driver's license provided for in RCW 46.20.055(3), shall be accepted as proper identification. The department shall notify the issuing department that the licensee is now licensed in a new jurisdiction. No person shall be permitted to have more than one valid driver's license at any time.

      (5) New Washington residents are allowed thirty days from the date they become residents as defined in this section to procure a valid Washington driver's license.

      On motion of Senator Smith, the rules were suspended, Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 6204 was advanced to third reading, the second reading considered the third and the bill was placed on final passage.


POINT OF INQUIRY


      Senator Johnson: "Senator Smith, Senator Long and I were looking at the amendment. On page 3, line 18, by Senator Haugen, there are two statutory references. That would seem to take it out of the infraction category and put it into a misdemeanor--342(1) and 420."

      Senator Smith: "I guess I don't understand the question. Could you take another shot at it?"

      Senator Johnson: "The language in that section seems to say that if it is not in violation of those two sections of the code--"

      Senator Smith: "I'm with you now. What this does is, it is a misdemeanor, okay, but--and this is the problem that we had in committee--basically, everyone kind of agreed that with no valid driver's license, it would be helpful if we could move it down to an infraction, but the police officers were concerned, because oftentimes they do the investigation. This was worked out with the police officers, so that now it is a misdemeanor, but the court will reduce it if the driver has an expired driver's license or some form of valid identification. What the police officers were concerned about is that if they stop someone and they don't have any identification whatsoever, they could not cite and further investigate. If the person has identification, it is not a problem, so that we took care of. If they don't have identification, it is still a misdemeanor and the police officers could still do what they wanted to do."

      Senator Johnson: "Unless they are in violation of one of those two sections in line 18?"

      Senator Smith: "Right."

      Senator Johnson: Which are--maybe you don't have those at your fingertips--it looks like that would put it back into the misdemeanor category."

      Senator Smith: "Right, I don't know what those two are, but I can imagine they are something that would warrant it being put back into the misdemeanor category."

      Senator Johnson: "Thank you."


      The President declared the question before the Senate to be the roll call on the final passage of Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 6204.

POINT OF INQUIRY


      Senator Morton: "Senator Pelz, looking at the bill, I need a little explanation here, which maybe I just don't know the normal interpretation thereof. On the second page, line 14, Senator Heavey has brought up the matter of total disability, but it preempts that by saying, 'temporary total disability.' Therefore, I interpret that to mean that it might be total disability today, but next week, it might not be total disability and that one could return to work. Would you like to comment, please?"

      Senator Pelz: "Would you direct the question to Senator Heavey?"

      Senator Morton: "Thank you, Senator Pelz. Senator Heavey, I'm on the second page of the bill and on line 14."

      Senator Heavey: "Senator, from the seventh district, yes that is correct. It is temporary total disability determination. The person is temporary totally disabled, which may go on for ever. It may go on for a week; it may go on for six months. It certainly may go on during the appeal period, which is two hundred to four hundred days."

      Senator Morton: "Thank you, Senator Heavey."

SECOND READING


      SENATE BILL NO. 6132, by Senator Fairley

 

Limiting the exemption from campaign financing disclosure requirements to political subdivisions under one thousand population.


MOTION


      Senator Fairley moved that Substitute Senate Bill No. 6132 be substituted for Senate Bill No. 6132 and the substitute bill be placed on second reading and read the second time.


POINT OF ORDER


      Senator West: "Mr. President, I rise to challenge the scope and object of Substitute Senate Bill No. 6132. The substitution of Senate Bill No. 6132 greatly expands the original bill, Senate Bill No. 6132, and therefore expands the scope and object. The original bill, Senate Bill No. 6132, simply applied to small political subdivisions, the difference between five thousand voters and one thousand voters. The addition of the substitute in committee expands that by changing where political campaigns can be applied in a campaign. The original bill didn't talk about political contributions. It talked about reporting in small towns.

      "This substitute requires a candidate to designate which office they are running for before they take any money; the original bill didn't have any indication of that type of thing. The substitute requires that when a candidate running for one office switches to another office, that they then have to give the money to the State Treasury or charity. The original bill, again, only talked about whether the reporting requirements of the Public Disclosure Commission applied to a candidate running in a town of five thousand or a town of one thousand. This is clearly beyond embodying the scope of Senate Bill No. 6132."

      Further debate ensued.

      There being no objection, the President deferred further consideration of Senate Bill No. 6132.


      President Pro Tempore Wojahn assumed the Chair.


SECOND READING


      SENATE BILL NO. 6551, by Senators Loveland, Rasmussen, Snyder, Morton, Oke, Prince, A. Anderson, Hargrove, Hochstatter, Winsley and Sellar

 

Making the coordinated resource management of state grazing lands a high priority.


MOTIONS


      On motion of Senator Loveland, Substitute Senate Bill No. 6551 was substituted for Senate Bill No. 6551 and the substitute bill was placed on second reading and read the second time.

      On motion of Senator Loveland, the rules were suspended, Substitute Senate Bill No. 6551 was advanced to third reading, the second reading considered the third and the bill was placed on final passage.

      The President Pro Tempore declared the question before the Senate to be the roll call on the final passage of Substitute Senate Bill No. 6551.


ROLL CALL


      The Secretary called the roll on the final passage of Substitute Senate Bill No. 6551 and the bill passed the Senate by the following vote: Yeas, 49; Nays, 0; Absent, 0; Excused, 0.

      Voting yea: Senators Anderson, A., Bauer, Cantu, Deccio, Drew, Fairley, Finkbeiner, Franklin, Fraser, Goings, Hale, Hargrove, Haugen, Heavey, Hochstatter, Johnson, Kohl, Long, Loveland, McAuliffe, McCaslin, McDonald, Morton, Moyer, Newhouse, Oke, Owen, Pelz, Prentice, Prince, Quigley, Rasmussen, Rinehart, Roach, Schow, Sellar, Sheldon, Smith, Snyder, Spanel, Strannigan, Sutherland, Swecker, Thibaudeau, West, Winsley, Wojahn, Wood and Zarelli - 49.

SECOND READING


      SENATE BILL NO. 6735, by Senators Pelz, Sutherland, Hargrove, Schow, Smith and Fairley

 

Requiring disclosure of campaign contributions from gambling interests.


MOTIONS


      On motion of Senator Pelz, Substitute Senate Bill No. 6735 was substituted for Senate Bill No. 6735 and the substitute bill was placed on second reading and read the second time.

      On motion of Senator Pelz, the rules were suspended, Substitute Senate Bill No. 6735 was advanced to third reading, the second reading considered the third and the bill was placed on final passage.


POINT OF INQUIRY


      Senator Newhouse: "Senator Pelz, I am unclear with this language. What would be reported that isn't presently reported now?"

      Senator Pelz: "The difference is that if an organization is involved in gambling and by that has an axis with the Lottery Commission, the Gambling Commission or the Horse Racing Commission, those entities would have to disclose to the candidate the amount of their business that is involved in gambling. The candidate would have a specific spot on their C-3 Form to indicate that they knew that was where this money came from. It is a disclosure bill; it does not ban contributions,. It just requires disclosure."

      Senator Newhouse: "But every contribution of one hundred or more must be reported anyway, mustn't it?"

      Senator Pelz: "It does not currently have to be reported as a gambling contribution, which is what this bill would do."

      Senator Newhouse: "This is inferring then that it is tainted money."

      Senator Pelz: "Well, you know what Senator Snyder says about tainted money, but anyway--"

      Senator Newhouse: "Tainted money--"

      Senator Pelz: "No, it does not infer that, it just says that the entity just has to disclose what percent of their business activity is involved in gambling and the voters can make the inference."

      Further debate ensued.


POINT OF INQUIRY


      Senator McCaslin: "Senator Pelz, I just opened the book on the bill itself and I looked for a definition of gambling interest. Would that be defined elsewhere in another statute?"

      Senator Pelz: "No sir, if you are registered with the Gambling Commission, that is where the kicker is. If you are registered with the Gambling Commission, if you are registered with the Horse Racing Commission, if you are registered with the Lottery Commission, that is when you know you are involved in gambling."

      Senator McCaslin: "If I receive a contribution from a person that makes his living by gambling, I would not report it? I would report the contribution, but not that it was a gambling interest?"

      Senator Pelz: "That is correct, sir, and I am not going to deny that that this net catch is all fish, but partly because of the issues that Senator Anderson raised. If it did catch all fish, it would be unduly cumbersome."

      The President Pro Tempore declared the question before the Senate to be the roll call on the final passage of Substitute Senate Bill No. 6735.


ROLL CALL


      The Secretary called the roll on the final passage of Substitute Senate Bill No. 6735 and the bill passed the Senate by the following vote: Yeas, 49; Nays, 0; Absent, 0; Excused, 0.
