"ECONOMIC STIMULUS FUNDING
NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. (1) The legislature finds that President Barack Obama and the 111th Congress have enacted the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 in an effort to stimulate the American economy, create and save jobs, and speed recovery from one of the deepest economic recessions in recent history. The investment of federal funds will help alleviate some of the economic burdens the states face, and create jobs for the unemployed. The act includes $492 million in federal transportation funding for Washington state and local highway projects and $179 million for local transit agency improvement projects. In addition, the act includes over $11 billion in new funding for competitive national grant programs for highways of regional significance, ferries, and rail priorities. The legislature also finds that Washington state is well positioned to deliver infrastructure projects in one hundred twenty days, as is required for at least half of the state's share of federal stimulus highway funds, and expects to receive additional funds that other states are unable to use in this time frame. The legislature further finds that the state's work to date on projects funded through the "nickel" and "transportation partnership" funding acts mean that many regionally significant projects are poised to compete well for nationally available funds.
(2) Therefore, it is the intent of the legislature to revitalize Washington's economy and reduce the state's unemployment rate by quickly putting people to work around the state on projects that promote safety, relieve traffic congestion, and preserve long-term investments that will provide benefits into the future. Such projects will be constructed quickly and will generate a significant number of jobs, thereby strengthening Washington's economy and its families seeking work.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION-- AMERICAN RECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT ACT OF 2009.
Motor Vehicle Account--Federal Appropriation. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .$341,400,000
The appropriation in this section is subject to the following conditions and limitations:
(1) The entire appropriation in this section is provided solely for the projects and amounts listed in ARRA Washington State Project LEAP document 2009, as developed on February 24, 2009. Funds under this section may be reallocated among projects shown in the document to the extent that the department finds it necessary for the purposes of facilitating completion of the projects with the highest priority or to maintain maximum federal funds eligibility.
(2) To achieve the legislative objectives provided in section 1(2) of this act with respect to highway projects, it is the intent of the legislature that the appropriation in this section be used for: Transportation 2003 account (nickel account) projects and transportation partnership account (TPA) projects that would have otherwise been delayed due to decreased revenues, so as to advance project completion dates similar to those envisioned in the enacted 2008 legislative list of projects; projects that preserve or rehabilitate Washington state highways and roads; and projects that modify roadway alignments and conditions to create safer roads for the traveling public.
(3)(a) The department of transportation shall obligate at least fifty percent of the funds no later than one hundred twenty days after surface transportation program funds under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 have been apportioned to the states;
(b) The department shall obligate all funds no later than one year after surface transportation program funds under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 have been apportioned to the states;
(c) The department shall place the first priority for allocating funds on those projects listed as "First Tier" projects on ARRA Washington State Project LEAP document 2009, as developed on February 24, 2009. The department shall place the second priority on projects listed as "Second Tier" projects on the document; and
(d) Within each tier of projects on ARRA Washington State Project LEAP document 2009, as developed on February 24, 2009, the department shall place the highest priority for allocating funds on the transportation 2003 account (nickel account) projects and transportation partnership account (TPA) projects listed to advance their completion. The department shall prioritize funding for other projects within the tier according to how soon the contract for the project could be awarded.
(4) By June 30, 2009, the department of transportation shall report to the legislative standing committees on transportation and the office of financial management on the status of federal stimulus funds including, but not limited to, identifying the projects shown in ARRA Washington State Project LEAP document 2009, as developed on February 24, 2009, for which federal stimulus funding has already been obligated, the amount of federal recovery funds estimated to be obligated to the projects, and the completion status of each project. Subsequent status reports are due to the legislative standing committees on transportation and the office of financial management on August 31, 2009, and December 1, 2009.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 3. If the department of transportation receives additional funding pursuant to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, including funding redistributed from other states, the department shall apply such funds to projects on ARRA Washington State Project LEAP document 2009, as developed on February 24, 2009, as prioritized by section 2(3) (c) and (d) of this act. If the funds are in excess of the amounts shown on ARRA Washington State Project LEAP document 2009, as developed on February 24, 2009, additional funds must be applied to improvement, preservation, ferries, and rail capital projects identified in the LEAP transportation documents in the enacted 2009-11 omnibus transportation appropriations act. However, if the funds received may not be used for any of the purposes enumerated in this section, then the department may program the funds for other transportation-related activities. The department shall notify the legislative standing committees on transportation and the office of financial management of the amount of funds received and the projects receiving funding through this process.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 4. To the extent practicable, the department of transportation shall apply to the competitive grant programs created by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 for all transportation modes including, but not limited to, rail, projects of regional significance, and ferries, as well as other grant programs created by the act that may provide funding for transportation-related activities. Concurrent with the submission of these applications, the department of transportation shall report on these applications to the legislative standing committees on transportation and the office of financial management.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 5. For the distribution of funds that are suballocated within the state pursuant to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 to areas of the state outside of the transportation management areas, the department of transportation shall convene a local oversight and accountability panel, which shall include representation from, at a minimum, the associations of Washington cities and counties, the Washington public ports association, and the transportation improvement board. The panel, chaired by the executive director of the transportation improvement board, shall ensure rapid project delivery and accountability for funds. The panel shall proceed with an expedited statewide process utilizing the metropolitan planning organization and county lead agency prioritized listing of local projects. The department shall monitor the projects selected to receive stimulus funding to ensure that Washington state is successful in obligating all of its funding.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 6. Sections 1 through 5 of this act are for the period ending June 30, 2011.

"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. (1) Recognizing the paramount importance of sustaining the highest levels of ferry system safety, the legislature finds that a rigorous, open incident and accident investigation policy is essential to the safe and reliable operation of the Washington state ferry system. Drawing on information provided in response to previous legislative direction, and noting recent accident/incident history, the legislature finds an urgent need to upgrade Washington state ferries' accident/incident investigation policies and procedures.
(2) After fully considering proposed upgraded accident/incident investigation policies and procedures, it is the intent of the legislature to enact the policies into law and to publish that law and procedures as a manual for Washington state ferries' accident/incident investigations. Until that time, the Washington state ferry system is enjoined to exercise particular diligence to assure that any incident or accident investigations are conducted within the spirit of the guidelines of this act.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. A new section is added to chapter 47.60 RCW to read as follows:
As a priority task, the Washington state ferries is directed to propose a comprehensive incident and accident investigation policy and appropriate procedures, and to provide the proposal to the legislature by November 1, 2009, using existing resources and staff expertise.

The policy must contain, at a minimum:
(1) The definition of an incident and an accident and the type of investigation that is required by both types of events;
(2) The process for appointing an investigating officer or officers and a description of the authorities and responsibilities of the investigating officer or officers. The investigating officer or officers must:
(a) Have the appropriate training and experience as determined by the policy;
(b) Not have been involved in the incident or accident so as to avoid any conflict of interest;
