Concerning the annual consumptive quantity of a water right.


MOTION


      Senator Morton moved that Substitute Senate Bill No. 5106 be substituted for Senate Bill No. 5106.


POINT OF ORDER


      Senator Fraser: “A point of order, Mr. President. I believe that the substitute bill exceeds the scope and object of the underlying bill, and I would like to explain my reasons therefore. The President has been very consistent and very clear over the years that in considering whether an amendment is consistent with the scope and object of the bill. You look not only at the title, but you also look at the subject matter of the bill. In this case, the title of the bill is water rights and the content of the bill is very specific. It substitutes one standard for another in determining the amount of water that can be involved in the change or transfer to either expand acreage or add usage.

      “The original bill has one sentence to add one section to the RCW. In contrast, the substitute bill has a vast expansion of the scope and object of the bill. It includes the entire content of two other bills before the Senate. One of which is still in the Rules Committee and one which is in the original Natural Resources Committee. It adds the entirety of Substitute Senate Bill No. 5025, which repeals relinquishment, which is one of the fundamental pillars of water law in our state--surface and ground water and affects all water rights in the state. It also incorporates Senate Bill No. 5481, which would greatly expand the kinds of agricultural water transfers that can occur without any general review and notice to change from crop to animal without any review--just could do it.

      “So, I respectfully request that the President rule the substitute bill is beyond the scope and object of Senate Bill No. 5106.”

      Debate ensued.

      On motion of Senator Sheahan, further consideration of Senate Bill No. 5106 was deferred.

SECOND READING


      SENATE BILL NO. 5586, by Senators Hargrove, Hewitt, Carlson, Oke, Fraser, Regala, Keiser and Kline

 

Granting authority to the department of ecology to address concerns with lead-based paint activities.


MOTIONS


      On motion of Senator Sheahan, Substitute Senate Bill No. 5586 was substituted for Senate Bill No. 5586 and the substitute bill was placed on second reading and read the second time.

      On motion of Senator Hargrove, the following striking amendment by Senators Hargrove, Morton and Doumit was adopted:

       Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:

       "NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. (1) The legislature finds that lead hazards associated with lead-based paint represent a significant and preventable environmental health problem. Lead-based paint is the most widespread of the various sources of lead exposure to the public. Census data show that one million five hundred sixty thousand homes in Washington state were built prior to 1978 when the sale of residential lead-based paint was banned. These are homes that are believed to contain some lead-based paint.

       Lead negatively affects every system of the body. It is harmful to individuals of all ages and is especially harmful to children, fetuses, and adults of childbearing age. The effects of lead on a child's cognitive, behavioral, and developmental abilities may necessitate large expenditures of public funds for health care and special education. The irreversible damage to children and subsequent expenditures could be avoided if exposure to lead is reduced.

       (2) The federal government regulates lead poisoning and lead hazard reduction through:

       (a)(i) The lead-based paint poisoning prevention act;

       (ii) The lead contamination control act;

       (iii) The safe drinking water act;

       (iv) The resource conservation and recovery act of 1976; and

       (v) The residential lead-based paint hazard reduction act of 1992; and

       (b) Implementing regulations of:

       (i) The environmental protection agency;

       (ii) The department of housing and urban development;

       (iii) The occupational safety and health administration; and

       (iv) The centers for disease control and prevention.

       (3) In 1992, congress passed the federal residential lead-based paint hazard reduction act, which allows states to provide for the accreditation of lead-based paint activities programs, the certification of persons completing such training programs, and the licensing of lead-based paint activities contractors under standards developed by the United States environmental protection agency.

       (4) The legislature recognizes the state's need to protect the public from exposure to lead hazards. A qualified and properly trained work force is needed to assist in the prevention, detection, reduction, and elimination of hazards associated with lead-based paint. The purpose of training workers, supervisors, inspectors, risk assessors, and project designers engaged in lead-based paint activities is to protect building occupants, particularly children ages six years and younger from potential lead-based paint hazards and exposures both during and after lead-based paint activities. Qualified and properly trained individuals and firms will help to ensure lead-based paint activities are conducted in a way that protects the health of the citizens of Washington state and safeguards the environment. The state lead-based paint activities program requires that all lead-based paint activities be performed by certified personnel trained by an accredited program, and that all lead-based paint activities meet minimum work practice standards established by the department of community, trade, and economic development. Therefore, the lead-based paint activities accreditation, training, and certification program shall be established in accordance with this chapter. The lead-based paint activities accreditation, training, and certification program shall be administered by the department of community, trade, and economic development and shall be used as a means to assure the protection of the general public from exposure to lead hazards.

       (5) For the welfare of the people of the state of Washington, this chapter establishes a lead-based paint activities program within the department of community, trade, and economic development to protect the general public from exposure to lead hazards and to ensure the availability of a trained and qualified work force to identify and address lead-based paint hazards.

       NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. The definitions in this section apply throughout this chapter unless the context clearly requires otherwise.

       (ii) All preparation, cleanup, disposal, and postabatement clearance testing activities associated with such measures.

       (b) Specifically, abatement includes, but is not limited to:

       (i) Projects for which there is a written contract or other documentation, which provides that an individual or firm will be conducting activities in or to a residential dwelling or child-occupied facility that:

       (A) Shall result in the permanent elimination of lead-based paint hazards; or

       (B) Are designed to permanently eliminate lead-based paint hazards and are described in (a)(i) and (ii) of this subsection;

       (ii) Projects resulting in the permanent elimination of lead-based paint hazards, conducted by certified firms or individuals, unless such projects are covered by (c) of this subsection;

       (iii) Projects resulting in the permanent elimination of lead-based paint hazards, conducted by firms or individuals who, through their company name or promotional literature, represent, advertise, or hold themselves out to be in the business of performing lead-based paint activities as identified and defined by this section, unless such projects are covered by (c) of this subsection; or

       (iv) Projects resulting in the permanent elimination of lead-based paint hazards, that are conducted in response to state or local abatement orders.

       (c) Abatement does not include renovation, remodeling, landscaping, or other activities, when such activities are not designed to permanently eliminate lead-based paint hazards, but, instead, are designed to repair, restore, or remodel a given structure or dwelling, even though these activities may incidentally result in a reduction or elimination of lead-based paint hazards. Furthermore, abatement does not include interim controls, operations and maintenance activities, or other measures and activities designed to temporarily, but not permanently, reduce lead-based paint hazards.

       (2) "Accredited training program" means a training program that has been accredited by the department to provide training for individuals engaged in lead-based paint activities.

       (7) "Certified risk assessor" means an individual who has been trained by an accredited training program, meets all the qualifications established by the department, and is certified by the department to conduct risk assessments and sample for the presence of lead in dust and soil for the purposes of abatement clearance testing.

       (8) "Certified supervisor" means an individual who has been trained by an accredited training program, meets all the qualifications established by the department, and is certified by the department to supervise and conduct abatements, and to prepare occupant protection plans and abatement reports.

       (9) "Department" means the Washington state department of community, trade, and economic development.

       (10) "Director" means the director of the Washington state department of community, trade, and economic development.

       (13) "Lead-based paint activity" includes inspection, testing, risk assessment, lead-based paint hazard reduction project design or planning, or abatement of lead-based paint hazards.

       (14) "Lead-based paint hazard" means any condition that causes exposure to lead from lead-contaminated dust, lead-contaminated soil, or lead-contaminated paint that is deteriorated or present in accessible surfaces, friction surfaces, or impact surfaces that would result in adverse human health effects as identified by the administrator of the United States environmental protection agency under the toxic substances control act, section 403.

       (15) "State program" means a state administered lead-based paint activities certification and training program that meets the federal environmental protection agency requirements.

       (16) "Person" includes an individual, corporation, firm, partnership, or association, an Indian tribe, state, or political subdivision of a state, and a state department or agency.

       (17) "Risk assessment" means:

PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY


      Senator West: “Mr. President, a parliamentary inquiry. We are currently on the substitute bill and the gentle lady from the Twenty-eighth District has offered amendments to the substitute bill. I believe she has the same amendments proposed to the striking amendment that will follow. If these amendments were adopted on the substitute bill, and then the striking amendment be adopted, these amendments would then go away. So, we would have to consider these current amendments again to the striking amendment. I think she has a draft if that was her choice. If she were to withdraw these amendments now--her amendments to the striking amendment--could we still consider them?”


REPLY BY THE PRESIDENT


      President Owen: “That is correct, Senator. If the striking amendment passed, she could prefect the striking amendment with the amendments again. If she withdrew these amendments, she could still offer the amendments to the striking amendment. If these amendments should go down, she would not be able to offer the amendments again.”


MOTION


      On motion of Senator Winsley, the amendments by Senators Winsley and Kline on page 17, lines 5 and 9 were withdrawn.



MOTION


      Senator Finkbeiner moved that the following striking amendment by Senators Finkbeiner and Prentice be adopted:

       Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:

       "NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. (1) The legislature finds, declares, and determines that:

       (a) Washington's cities and counties under the growth management act are required to encourage urban growth in urban growth areas at densities that accommodate twenty-year growth projections;

       (b) One of the growth management act's planning goals is to encourage the availability of affordable housing for all residents of the state and promote a variety of housing types;

       (c) Condominium construction needs to be encouraged to achieve growth management act mandated urban densities and ensure that residents of the state, particularly in urban growth areas, have a broad range of ownership choices;

       (d) Ambiguity in the condominium act, particularly relating to implied warranties of quality, has led to legal actions and threats of legal action that allege minor or immaterial defects and deviations in construction that have no effect on the structure, safety, or marketability of condominiums;

       (e) The result of these legal challenges is that many home builders cannot obtain insurance to build condominiums and as further result condominium construction is declining thereby reducing rather than expanding home ownership opportunities for the residents of Washington state; and

       (f) Legislative action is needed to encourage residential condominium construction by:

       (I) Requiring alternative methods of dispute resolution such as arbitration and setting standards to allow resolution of disputes in an expeditious and fair manner;

       (ii) Requiring expanded disclosure to owners if implied warranties are excluded, modified, or replaced with an express warranty of quality;

       (iii) Protecting associations, boards, and officers from liability for deciding to not commence a judicial proceeding or arbitration;

       (iv) Requiring expanded disclosure to purchasers of legal proceeding;

       (v) Clarifying that an express written warranty applies to claims against the declarant brought by the association or subsequent unit owners;

       (vi) Clarifying that implied warranties of quality extend only to defects or deviations that affect the structural integrity of the unit; the safety of unit owners; or substantially impair the marketability of the unit for its intended purpose. Defects or deviations that can be discovered through normal purchaser inspections are not intended to be covered by the implied warranty of quality; and

       (vii) Allowing an express written warranty of quality to replace implied warranties;

       (2) It is the intent of the legislature that this act improve and clarify procedures for resolving claims relating to condominium construction and ensure that both a broad range of homeownership opportunities continue to be available to the residents of the state and that cities and counties can achieve density mandates of the growth management act.

       (3) It is the further intent of the legislature that this act eliminate litigation over minor defects and deviations that have no material effect on the use of a condominium for its intended purpose.

       Sec. 2. RCW 64.34.100 and 1989 c 43 s 1-113 are each amended to read as follows:

       (1) The remedies provided by this chapter shall be liberally administered to the end that the aggrieved party is put in as good a position as if the other party had fully performed. However, consequential, special, or punitive damages may not be awarded except as specifically provided in this chapter or by other rule of law.

       (2) Except as set forth in this chapter, any right or obligation declared by this chapter is enforceable by judicial proceeding. Any claim by an association and/or its board of directors relating to construction defects or deviations or claims by more than one unit owner relating to the same defects or deviations shall be resolved through binding arbitration.

       (3) Binding arbitration involving construction defects or deviations under RCW 64.34.445 or 64.34.450 shall comply with the following minimum standards:

       (a) Unless the parties agree otherwise, all disputes must be heard by one qualified arbitrator. When three arbitrators are used, one shall be appointed by each of the disputing parties and the third, who will chair the panel, appointed by the first two arbitrators. Should the required number of arbitrators fail to be appointed, then an arbitrator or arbitrators shall be appointed by the superior court of the county in which the condominium is located pursuant to RCW 7.04.050;

       (b) Arbitrators must have experience with construction and engineering standards and practices, written construction warranties, or construction dispute resolution and a person shall not serve as an arbitrator in any arbitration in which that person has any financial or personal interest;

       (c) The arbitration hearing must be conducted in a manner that permits full, fair, and expeditious presentation of the case by both parties. The arbitrators are bound by the law of Washington state. Parties may but are not required to be represented by attorneys. The arbitrators may permit discovery to ensure a fair hearing but may limit the scope or manner of discovery for good cause to avoid excessive delay and costs to the parties. Unless the parties agree otherwise or the arbitrator or arbitrators grant an extension for good cause, the arbitration hearing shall be completed within one year of the initial demand for arbitration;

       (d) Arbitration shall be conducted under the condominium or construction dispute resolution rules of the American arbitration association and chapter 7.04 RCW unless the parties elect to use the rules of the superior court. The expenses of witnesses including expert witnesses shall be paid by the party producing such witnesses. All other expenses of arbitration shall be borne equally by the parties, unless they agree otherwise or unless the arbitrator or arbitrators award such expenses or any part thereof to any specified party or parties; and

       (e) Arbitration shall be used only after the parties first attempt to resolve the dispute through mediation. Mediation shall be before a mediator who may not serve subsequently also as an arbitrator for the same dispute. All cost of mediation shall be borne equally by the parties.

       Sec. 3. RCW 64.34.216 and 1992 c 220 s 7 are each amended to read as follows:

       (3) The declaration may contain any other matters the declarant deems appropriate.

       Sec. 4. RCW 64.34.308 and 1992 c 220 s 15 are each amended to read as follows:

       (1) Except as provided in the declaration, the bylaws, subsection (((2))) (3) of this section, or other provisions of this chapter, the board of directors shall act in all instances on behalf of the association. In the performance of their duties, the officers and members of the board of directors are required to exercise: (a) If appointed by the declarant, the care required of fiduciaries of the unit owners; or (b) if elected by the unit owners, ordinary and reasonable care.

       (2) Neither an association nor its directors or officers or managing agents shall be liable for a decision, including a decision not to commence a judicial proceeding under any section of this chapter, if such a decision has been made by a board of directors elected pursuant to subsection (7) of this section which does not include any members who are affiliates of a declarant, and if, in reaching such a decision, the directors and officers and managing agents have acted in good faith, in a manner such directors and officers and managing agents believe to be in the best interests of the corporation, and with such care, including reasonable inquiry, as an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances.

       (3) The board of directors shall not act on behalf of the association to amend the declaration in any manner that requires the vote or approval of the unit owners pursuant to RCW 64.34.264, to terminate the condominium pursuant to RCW 64.34.268, or to elect members of the board of directors or determine the qualifications, powers, and duties, or terms of office of members of the board of directors pursuant to subsection (((6))) (7) of this section; but the board of directors may fill vacancies in its membership for the unexpired portion of any term.

       (((3))) (4) Within thirty days after adoption of any proposed budget for the condominium, the board of directors shall provide a summary of the budget to all the unit owners and shall set a date for a meeting of the unit owners to consider ratification of the budget not less than fourteen nor more than sixty days after mailing of the summary. Unless at that meeting the owners of units to which a majority of the votes in the association are allocated or any larger percentage specified in the declaration reject the budget, the budget is ratified, whether or not a quorum is present. In the event the proposed budget is rejected or the required notice is not given, the periodic budget last ratified by the unit owners shall be continued until such time as the unit owners ratify a subsequent budget proposed by the board of directors.

       (((4))) (5)(a) Subject to subsection (((5))) (6) of this section, the declaration may provide for a period of declarant control of the association, during which period a declarant, or persons designated by the declarant, may: (I) Appoint and remove the officers and members of the board of directors; or (ii) veto or approve a proposed action of the board or association. A declarant's failure to veto or approve such proposed action in writing within thirty days after receipt of written notice of the proposed action shall be deemed approval by the declarant.

       (b) Regardless of the period provided in the declaration, a period of declarant control terminates no later than the earlier of: (I) Sixty days after conveyance of seventy-five percent of the units which may be created to unit owners other than a declarant; (ii) two years after the last conveyance or transfer of record of a unit except as security for a debt; (iii) two years after any development right to add new units was last exercised; or (iv) the date on which the declarant records an amendment to the declaration pursuant to which the declarant voluntarily surrenders the right to further appoint and remove officers and members of the board of directors. A declarant may voluntarily surrender the right to appoint and remove officers and members of the board of directors before termination of that period pursuant to (I), (ii), and (iii) of this subsection (((4))) (5)(b), but in that event the declarant may require, for the duration of the period of declarant control, that specified actions of the association or board of directors, as described in a recorded instrument executed by the declarant, be approved by the declarant before they become effective.

       (((5))) (6) Not later than sixty days after conveyance of twenty- five percent of the units which may be created to unit owners other than a declarant, at least one member and not less than twenty-five percent of the members of the board of directors must be elected by unit owners other than the declarant. Not later than sixty days after conveyance of fifty percent of the units which may be created to unit owners other than a declarant, not less than thirty-three and one-third percent of the members of the board of directors must be elected by unit owners other than the declarant.

       (((6))) (7) Within thirty days after the termination of any period of declarant control, the unit owners shall elect a board of directors of at least three members, at least a majority of whom must be unit owners. The number of directors need not exceed the number of units then in the condominium. The board of directors shall elect the officers. Such members of the board of directors and officers shall take office upon election.

       (((7))) (8) Notwithstanding any provision of the declaration or bylaws to the contrary, the unit owners, by a two-thirds vote of the voting power in the association present and entitled to vote at any meeting of the unit owners at which a quorum is present, may remove any member of the board of directors with or without cause, other than a member appointed by the declarant. The declarant may not remove any member of the board of directors elected by the unit owners. Prior to the termination of the period of declarant control, the unit owners, other than the declarant, may remove by a two-thirds vote, any director elected by the unit owners.

       (b) Constructed in accordance with sound engineering and construction standards, and in a workmanlike manner in compliance with all laws then applicable to such improvements. However, an implied warranty of quality applies only to substantial defects or deviations. The implied warranty extends only to defective materials or deviations in construction practices that have a material effect on the structural integrity of a unit or common area; or have a material effect on the safety of unit owners; or substantially impair the marketability of the unit for its intended purpose. Defects or deviations that are discoverable through the purchaser's normal and prudent inspection are not covered by the implied warranty of quality. As used in this chapter, "material defect," "substantial," and "substantially impair" refer to a defect or deviation that prevents the unit or common element from being used for its intended purpose.

       (3) A declarant and any dealer warrants to a purchaser of a unit that may be used for residential use that an existing use, continuation of which is contemplated by the parties, does not violate applicable law at the earlier of the time of conveyance or delivery of possession.

       (4) Warranties imposed by this section may be replaced, excluded, or modified as specified in RCW 64.34.450 and an express written warranty between a declarant and a unit purchaser applies to claims against the declarant that may be brought by subsequent purchasers.

       (5) For purposes of this section, improvements made or contracted for by an affiliate of a declarant, as defined in RCW 64.34.020(1), are made or contracted for by the declarant.

       (6) Any conveyance of a unit transfers to the purchaser all of the declarant's implied warranties of quality unless replaced by an expressed warranty.

       Sec. 8. RCW 64.34.450 and 1989 c 43 s 4-113 are each amended to read as follows:

       (1) ((Except as limited by subsection (2) of this section)) For units intended for nonresidential use, implied warranties of quality:

       (a) May be excluded or modified by written agreement of the parties; and

       (b) Are excluded by written expression of disclaimer, such as "as is," "with all faults," or other language which in common understanding calls the buyer's attention to the exclusion of warranties.

       (2) ((With respect to a purchaser of a unit that may be occupied for residential use, no)) For units intended for residential use:

       (a) A general disclaimer of implied warranties of quality is effective, ((but)) if a declarant ((and any)) or dealer ((may disclaim liability in an instrument signed by the purchaser for a specified defect or specified failure to comply with applicable law, if the defect or failure entered into and became a part of the basis of the bargain)) replaces, excludes, or modifies the implied warranty as specified in this section with an expressed warranty as specified in (b) of this subsection;

       (b) The implied warranties of quality under RCW 64.34.445 may be replaced with an express written warranty of quality if:

       (I) The disclosure required by RCW 64.34.410(1)(z) is contained in a public offering statement as provided by RCW 64.34.410(3) and such disclosure is set forth in ten-point bold face type in the declaration or amendment thereto;

       (ii) The express written warranty is set forth in full in the declaration, an amendment to the declaration, or a document recorded with the declaration; and

       (iii) The unit purchaser who initially acquires the unit from the declarant expressly acknowledges in a recorded written conveyance or another recorded written instrument that the implied warranties of quality have been replaced by the express written warranty; and

       (c) An express written warranty approved by the United States veterans administration or the United States department of housing and urban development shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of (b) of this subsection.

       Sec. 9. RCW 64.34.452 and 2002 c 323 s 11 are each amended to read as follows:

       (1) A judicial proceeding or arbitration for breach of any obligations arising under RCW 64.34.443 and 64.34.445 must be commenced within four years after the cause of action accrues: PROVIDED, That the period for commencing an action for a breach accruing pursuant to subsection (2)(b) of this section shall not expire prior to one year after termination of the period of declarant control, if any, under RCW 64.34.308(((4))) (5). Such period may not be reduced by either oral or written agreement.

       (2) Subject to subsection (3) of this section, a cause of action or breach of warranty of quality, regardless of the purchaser's lack of knowledge of the breach, accrues:

       (a) As to a unit, the date the purchaser to whom the warranty is first made enters into possession if a possessory interest was conveyed or the date of acceptance of the instrument of conveyance if a nonpossessory interest was conveyed; and

       (b) As to each common element, at the latest of (I) the date the first unit in the condominium was conveyed to a bona fide purchaser, (ii) the date the common element was completed, or (iii) the date the common element was added to the condominium.

       (3) If a warranty of quality explicitly extends to future performance or duration of any improvement or component of the condominium, the cause of action accrues at the time the breach is discovered or at the end of the period for which the warranty explicitly extends, whichever is earlier.

       (4) If a written notice of claim is served under RCW 64.50.020 within the time prescribed for the filing of an action under this chapter, the statutes of limitation in this chapter and any applicable statutes of repose for construction-related claims are tolled until sixty days after the period of time during which the filing of an action is barred under RCW 64.50.020.

       NEW SECTION. Sec. 10. If any provision of this act or its application to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the remainder of the act or the application of the provision to other persons or circumstances is not affected.

       NEW SECTION. Sec. 11. This act is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety, or support of the state government and its existing public institutions, and takes effect July 1, 2003."

RULING BY THE PRESIDENT


      President Owen: “In ruling upon the point of order raised by Senator Fraser that Substitute Senate Bill No. 5106 is outside of the scope and object of the bill, the President finds as follows:

      “Senate Bill No. 5106 is a measure which sets forth a process by which the annual consumptive quantity of a water right shall remain at its peak historic use for purposes of a change or transfer, even if the right is not presently being fully exercised.

      “The proposed substitute bill maintains this process, but it also makes two other changes: First, it further defines a ‘beneficial use’ right; and Second, it effectively restricts the ability of the Department of Ecology to limit or relinquish water rights.

      “With respect to the first change in the proposed substitute, the President believes that the further definition of a ‘beneficial use’ right does little more than further explain the basis for the process set forth in the original bill. As a result, these associated sections would be within the scope and object of the bill.

      “The sections which restrict the Department’s ability to limit or relinquish water rights, however, go beyond the process originally set forth in the bill. While the President certainly recognizes that relinquishment processes affect the overall ability to change or transfer a water right and while it is logical that the two be considered together, the President finds that this language does change the scope and object of the original bill.

      “The President, therefore, finds that Senator Fraser’s point is well taken and that the substitute bill is outside the scope and object of the original bill.”


      The President ruled that the Substitute Bill to Senate Bill No. 5106 to be out of order.


MOTION


      On motion of Senator Sheahan, further consideration of Senate Bill No. 5106 was deferred.

      SENATE BILL NO. 5106, by Senators Hewitt, Hale, T. Sheldon, Doumit, Sheahan, Rasmussen, Morton, Mulliken, Honeyford, Deccio and Parlette

 

Concerning the annual consumptive quantity of a water right.


      The bill was read the second time.



MOTION


      Senator Morton moved that the following amendment by Senators Morton, Tim Sheldon, Swecker, Rasmussen, and Honeyford be adopted:

       Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:

       "Sec. 1. RCW 90.03.380 and 2001 c 237 s 5 are each amended to read as follows:

       (1) The right to the use of water which has been applied to a beneficial use in the state shall be and remain appurtenant to the land or place upon which the same is used: PROVIDED, HOWEVER, That the right may be transferred to another or to others and become appurtenant to any other land or place of use without loss of priority of right theretofore established if such change can be made without detriment or injury to existing rights. The point of diversion of water for beneficial use or the purpose of use may be changed, if such change can be made without detriment or injury to existing rights. A change in the place of use, point of diversion, and/or purpose of use of a water right to enable irrigation of additional acreage or the addition of new uses may be permitted if such change results in no increase in the annual consumptive quantity of water used under the water right. For purposes of this section, "annual consumptive quantity" means the estimated or actual annual amount of water diverted pursuant to the water right, reduced by the estimated annual amount of return flows((, averaged over the two years of greatest use within the most recent five-year period of continuous beneficial use of the water right)). The annual consumptive quantity of a water right may not be deemed to be less than the actual peak historic use of a water right, even if the right is not being fully exercised at the time of change or transfer, if: (a) The reduced use is due to cropping patterns or system efficiencies; (b) the water right holder intends to fully exercise the right; and (c) the water right holder has the facilities in place to make beneficial use of the full right. Before any transfer of such right to use water or change of the point of diversion of water or change of purpose of use can be made, any person having an interest in the transfer or change, shall file a written application therefor with the department, and the application shall not be granted until notice of the application is published as provided in RCW 90.03.280. If it shall appear that such transfer or such change may be made without injury or detriment to existing rights, the department shall issue to the applicant a certificate in duplicate granting the right for such transfer or for such change of point of diversion or of use. The certificate so issued shall be filed and be made a record with the department and the duplicate certificate issued to the applicant may be filed with the county auditor in like manner and with the same effect as provided in the original certificate or permit to divert water.

       (2) If an application for change proposes to transfer water rights from one irrigation district to another, the department shall, before publication of notice, receive concurrence from each of the irrigation districts that such transfer or change will not adversely affect the ability to deliver water to other landowners or impair the financial integrity of either of the districts.

       (3) A change in place of use by an individual water user or users of water provided by an irrigation district need only receive approval for the change from the board of directors of the district if the use of water continues within the irrigation district, and when water is provided by an irrigation entity that is a member of a board of joint control created under chapter 87.80 RCW, approval need only be received from the board of joint control if the use of water continues within the area of jurisdiction of the joint board and the change can be made without detriment or injury to existing rights.

       (4) This section shall not apply to trust water rights acquired by the state through the funding of water conservation projects under chapter 90.38 RCW or RCW 90.42.010 through 90.42.070.

       (5)(a) Pending applications for new water rights are not entitled to protection from impairment, injury, or detriment when an application relating to an existing surface or ground water right is considered.

       (b) Applications relating to existing surface or ground water rights may be processed and decisions on them rendered independently of processing and rendering decisions on pending applications for new water rights within the same source of supply without regard to the date of filing of the pending applications for new water rights.

       (c) Notwithstanding any other existing authority to process applications, including but not limited to the authority to process applications under WAC 173-152-050 as it existed on January 1, 2001, an application relating to an existing surface or ground water right may be processed ahead of a previously filed application relating to an existing right when sufficient information for a decision on the previously filed application is not available and the applicant for the previously filed application is sent written notice that explains what information is not available and informs the applicant that processing of the next application will begin. The previously filed application does not lose its priority date and if the information is provided by the applicant within sixty days, the previously filed application shall be processed at that time. This subsection (5)(c) does not affect any other existing authority to process applications.

       (d) Nothing in this subsection (5) is intended to stop the processing of applications for new water rights.

       (6) No applicant for a change, transfer, or amendment of a water right may be required to give up any part of the applicant's valid water right or claim to a state agency, the trust water rights program, or to other persons as a condition of processing the application.

       (7) In revising the provisions of this section and adding provisions to this section by chapter 237, Laws of 2001, the legislature does not intend to imply legislative approval or disapproval of any existing administrative policy regarding, or any existing administrative or judicial interpretation of, the provisions of this section not expressly added or revised.

       (8) The right to use water for any beneficial use within the general category of an agricultural use includes the right to use the water, without applying to the department or any other governmental entity for approval, for any other beneficial use within the general category of an agricultural use. The general category of an agricultural use of water includes, but is not limited to, the beneficial use of water for stock watering, agricultural irrigation, agricultural frost control, processing agricultural commodities into agricultural products, and other agricultural uses.

       Sec. 2. RCW 90.44.100 and 1997 c 316 s 2 are each amended to read as follows:

       (1) After an application to, and upon the issuance by the department of an amendment to the appropriate permit or certificate of ground water right, the holder of a valid right to withdraw public ground waters may, without losing the holder's priority of right, construct wells or other means of withdrawal at a new location in substitution for or in addition to those at the original location, or the holder may change the manner or the place of use of the water.

       (2) An amendment to construct replacement or a new additional well or wells at a location outside of the location of the original well or wells or to change the manner or place of use of the water shall be issued only after publication of notice of the application and findings as prescribed in the case of an original application. Such amendment shall be issued by the department only on the conditions that: (a) The additional or replacement well or wells shall tap the same body of public ground water as the original well or wells; (b) where a replacement well or wells is approved, the use of the original well or wells shall be discontinued and the original well or wells shall be properly decommissioned as required under chapter 18.104 RCW; (c) where an additional well or wells is constructed, the original well or wells may continue to be used, but the combined total withdrawal from the original and additional well or wells shall not enlarge the right conveyed by the original permit or certificate; and (d) other existing rights shall not be impaired. The department may specify an approved manner of construction and shall require a showing of compliance with the terms of the amendment, as provided in RCW 90.44.080 in the case of an original permit.

       (3) The construction of a replacement or new additional well or wells at the location of the original well or wells shall be allowed without application to the department for an amendment. However, the following apply to such a replacement or new additional well: (a) The well shall tap the same body of public ground water as the original well or wells; (b) if a replacement well is constructed, the use of the original well or wells shall be discontinued and the original well or wells shall be properly decommissioned as required under chapter 18.104 RCW; (c) if a new additional well is constructed, the original well or wells may continue to be used, but the combined total withdrawal from the original and additional well or wells shall not enlarge the right conveyed by the original water use permit or certificate; (d) the construction and use of the well shall not interfere with or impair water rights with an earlier date of priority than the water right or rights for the original well or wells; (e) the replacement or additional well shall be located no closer than the original well to a well it might interfere with; (f) the department may specify an approved manner of construction of the well; and (g) the department shall require a showing of compliance with the conditions of this subsection (3).

       (4) As used in this section, the "location of the original well or wells" is the area described as the point of withdrawal in the original public notice published for the application for the water right for the well.

       (5) The right to use water for any beneficial use within the general category of an agricultural use includes the right to use the water, without applying to the department or any other governmental entity for approval, for any other beneficial use within the general category of an agricultural use. The general category of an agricultural use of water includes, but is not limited to, the beneficial use of water for stock watering, agricultural irrigation, agricultural frost control, processing agricultural commodities into agricultural products, and other agricultural uses.
