SENATE RESOLUTION

8679

 

By Senators Franklin, Hewitt, Shin and Kohl-Welles

 

      WHEREAS, Sickle cell anemia is a hereditary disorder that most affects people of African ancestry, but also occurs in other ethnic groups, including people of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern descent; and

      WHEREAS, More than 70,000 Americans have sickle cell anemia, and about 2 million Americans - and one in 12 African-Americans - have sickle cell trait; and

      WHEREAS, People with sickle cell anemia have inherited two sickle cell genes, one from each parent; a child who has inherited the sickle cell from only one parent will not develop the disease, but will have sickle cell trait; people who have sickle cell trait do not have sickle cell anemia or symptoms of the disease, but they can pass the sickle cell gene to their own children; and

      WHEREAS, Because people with sickle cell trait do not have the disease, they may never discover that they carry the gene; teens who are unsure of their sickle cell status should ask their doctors about testing; The National Institutes of Health recommends that all newborns be screened for sickle cell disease, and testing at birth is now required in most states; this helps infants with sickle cell anemia get the care and treatment they need as soon as possible; and

      WHEREAS, Normal red blood cells are smooth and round like doughnuts and they move easily through blood vessels to carry oxygen to all parts of the body; in sickle cell anemia, the red blood cells change shape; they become hard, sticky, and shaped like sickles or crescents and, instead of moving through the bloodstream easily, these sickle cells can clog blood vessels and deprive the body's tissues and organs of the oxygen they need to stay healthy; and

      WHEREAS, Symptoms include anemia, pain when sickle-shaped red blood cells block the flow of blood to an organ, fatigue, jaundice, eye problems, infections, acute chest syndrome (similar to pneumonia), leg ulcers, strokes, and gallstones; and

      WHEREAS, One in every 12 African-Americans have the sickle cell trait versus one in every 413 Caucasians; one in every 500 African-Americans have the sickle cell disease, the highest incidence of any group; although there is still no cure for sickle cell anemia, improved medical procedures, innovative pharmaceuticals, and increased knowledge have made life longer, less stressful, and less painful for persons afflicted with the disease;

      NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That the Washington State Senate recognize the Metropolitan Seattle Sickle Cell Anemia Task Force for its important contribution in educating the citizens of the State of Washington about the serious health problem of sickle cell anemia, particularly the problem it poses in the African-American community, and urge all public and private entities to take every available avenue to educate the public about sickle cell anemia and its effects on the citizens of Washington.

 

      Senators Franklin and Prentice spoke in favor of adoption of the resolution.

      The President declared the question before the Senate to be the adoption of Senate Resolution No. 8679.

      The motion by Senator Franklin carried and the resolution was adopted by voice vote.

INTRODUCTION OF SPECIAL GUESTS

      The President welcomed and introduced members of the Northwest Sickle Cell Collaborative and the Metropolitan Seattle Sickle Cell Task Force who were seated in the gallery.

 

INTRODUCTION OF SPECIAL GUESTS

The President welcomed and introduced Mr. Bobby Engram of the Seattle Seahawks who was seated at the rostrum.

With permission of the Senate, business was suspended to allow Mr. Engram to address the Senate.

 

REMARKS BY MR. BOBBY ENGRAM

 

      Mr. Engram: “Thank you and good morning to everyone. First of all, thanks for having us down. I just want to echo what Mrs. Franklin just said. I would like to thank the Northwest Sickle Cell Collaborative which is composed of the Task Force and their work with the Children’s Hospital in Seattle and all of their efforts and what they do on a daily basis. My role in this is just to try and help bring awareness, trying to elevate the level of knowledge about the disease. I want to especially acknowledge Bendor, Ken West the guys that I have been working hand in hand with. Last year was our first annual Sickle Cell Walk and we raised over twelve thousand dollars for the kids to go to Sickle Cell camp on Vashon Island. We looked to do at least triple that this year. Moving forward, the thing that we really want to get done in a short term is to get kids of age or adults who are thinking about having a baby, getting them tested, getting them pre screened. As of now which was in my case, we didn’t find out that my daughter has sickle cell until after she was born. Had me and my wife had more knowledge, we would have got pre screened. Although it wouldn’t of swayed our decision from having a baby, we would have had the time to go out and get that knowledge and get some information to help us better deal with a pain crisis whenever it arose. So the short term goal is get as many of those 2.5 Americans that have the trait, to get them screened and to get them the knowledge that they will need to combat this disease. In the long term, ultimately, trying to eradicate the disease through gene therapy. Thank you for your time and your compassion.”

The inspection must verify that the vehicle identification number is genuine and agrees with the number shown on the title and registration certificate. The inspection must be made by a member of the Washington state patrol or other person authorized by the department to make such inspections.

      (b)(i) A physical examination of the vehicle is mandatory if the vehicle was declared totaled or salvage under the laws of this state, or the vehicle is presented with documents from another state showing the vehicle was totaled or salvage and has not been reissued a valid registration from that state after the declaration of total loss or salvage.

       (4) To the extent that the Washington state patrol has a backlog of vehicle inspections that it is to perform under this section, this act shall not be construed to reduce the vehicle inspection workload of the Washington state patrol.

      (5) Rebuilt or salvage vehicles licensed in Washington must meet the requirements found under chapter 46.37 RCW to be driven upon public roadways.

      (((5))) (6) The application shall be subscribed by the person applying to be the registered owner and be sworn to by that applicant in the manner described by RCW 9A.72.085. The department shall retain the application in either the original, computer, or photostatic form.

      (3) In addition to the application fee and any other fee for the license registration of a vehicle, the department shall collect from the applicant a fee of fifteen dollars for vehicles previously registered in any other state or country. The proceeds from the fee shall be deposited in accordance with RCW 46.68.020. For vehicles requiring a physical examination, the inspection fee shall be ((fifty dollars and)) sixty-five dollars, fifteen dollars of which shall be deposited into the state patrol highway account created under RCW 46.68.030, and the remainder of which shall be deposited in accordance with RCW 46.68.020."

PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY

 

Senator Haugen: “Thank you Mr. President. I rise to ask the President how many votes it will take to pass Substitute Senate Bill No. 5080 if amended with the striking amendment presently before the body. Under the present ruling on this legislation, the President held that an earlier version of the bill converted a dedicated fee into a general tax and that, under Initiative 601, required a two-third vote of the body on final passage. However, the striking amendment presently before the body does not change the nature of the underlying fee. Pursuant to the guidance provided with your previous ruling on March 13, there exists a clear nextus between the money collected in this striking amendment and the narrow proceeds purposes for which it may be spent. In this case, the striking amendment before the body directs procedes from this be collected on the replacement of tires to first, fund the elimination of unauthorized waste tire piles; and, second, if sufficient funds remain, be deposited into the motor vehicle account to fund the limited purpose of state and local government, state and local highway maintenance. Clearly, a fee on tire replacement has a direct nexus to a narrow purpose of maintaining the very highways used to carry the vehicle traffic equipped with those tires. Thank you Mr. President.”

 

MOTION

 

On motion of Senator Eide, further consideration of Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 5080 was deferred and the bill held its place on the second reading calendar.
