      (1) The department shall establish a program that utilizes department-partner agreements for the resumption or continued operation and management of state-owned salmonid hatcheries ((now closed or scheduled for closure during the 2009-2011 biennium)).  To implement the program, the department shall accept and review applications to determine the appropriateness of the partner to manage and operate selected salmonid hatcheries.  The department shall accelerate the application process relating to any hatchery currently in operation to avoid cessation of ongoing salmon production.

      (2)(a) To select a partner, the department shall develop and apply criteria identifying the appropriateness of a potential partner.  The criteria must seek to ensure that the partner has a long-range business plan, which may include the sale of hatchery surplus salmon, including eggs and carcasses, to ensure the long-range future solvency of the partnership.  The business plan may also allow the partner to harvest hatchery chum salmon in a designated area through persons under contract with the partner as provided under a permit from the department or by rule of the commission.  All chum salmon harvested must be sold at prices commensurate with the current market and all funds must be utilized by the partner to operate the hatchery.

      (b) Partners under this section must be:

      (i) Qualified under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code;

      (ii) A for-profit private entity; or

      (iii) A federally recognized tribe.

      (3) The department shall place a higher priority on applications from partners that provide for the maximum resumption or continuation of existing hatchery production in a manner consistent with the mandate contained in RCW 77.04.012 to maintain the economic well-being and stability of the fishing industry.

      (4) Agreements entered into with partners under this section must be consistent with existing state laws, agency rules, collective bargaining agreements, hatchery management policy involving species listed under the federal endangered species act, or, in the case of a tribal partner, any applicable tribal hatchery management policy or recreational and commercial harvest policy.  Agreements under this section must also require that partners conducting hatchery operations maintain staff with comparable qualifications to those identified in the class specifications for the department's fish hatchery personnel.

      (5) All partnership agreements entered into under this section must contain a provision that requires the partner to hold harmless the department and the state for any civil liability arising from the partner's participation in the agreement or activities at the subject hatchery or hatcheries.

      (6) All partnership agreements entered into under this section must identify any maintenance or improvements to be made to the hatchery facility, and the source of funding for such maintenance or improvements.  If funding for the maintenance or improvements is to come from state funds or revenue sources previously received by the department, the work must be performed either by employees in the classified service or in compliance with the contracting procedures set forth in RCW 41.06.142.

(7) If deemed necessary and appropriate by the director, department enforcement officers may conduct background checks on potential partners described by subsection (2)(b)(i) and (ii) of this section prior to the department executing a partnership agreement."

      Unless a different meaning is plainly required by the context, the following words and phrases as hereinafter used in this chapter shall have the following meanings:

      (1) "Debt adjusting" means the managing, counseling, settling, adjusting, prorating, or liquidating of the indebtedness of a debtor, or receiving funds for the purpose of distributing said funds among creditors in payment or partial payment of obligations of a debtor.

      (2) "Debt adjuster", which includes any person known as a debt pooler, debt manager, debt consolidator, debt prorater, or credit counselor, is any person engaging in or holding himself or herself out as engaging in the business of debt adjusting for compensation.  The term shall not include:

      (a) Attorneys-at-law, escrow agents, accountants, broker-dealers in securities, or investment advisors in securities, while performing services solely incidental to the practice of their professions;

      (b) Any person, partnership, association, or corporation doing business under and as permitted by any law of this state or of the United States relating to banks, consumer finance businesses, consumer loan companies, trust companies, mutual savings banks, savings and loan associations, building and loan associations, credit unions, crop credit associations, development credit corporations, industrial development corporations, title insurance companies, ((or)) insurance companies, or third-party account administrators;

      (c) Persons who, as employees on a regular salary or wage of an employer not engaged in the business of debt adjusting, perform credit services for their employer;

      (d) Public officers while acting in their official capacities and persons acting under court order;

      (g) Nonprofit organizations engaged in debt adjusting and which do not assess against the debtor a service charge in excess of fifteen dollars per month.

      (3) "Debt adjusting agency" is any partnership, corporation, or association engaging in or holding itself out as engaging in the business of debt adjusting.

      (4) "Financial institution" means any person doing business under the laws of any state or the United States relating to commercial banks, bank holding companies, savings banks, savings and loan associations, trust companies, or credit unions.
      (5) "Third-party account administrator" means an independent entity that holds or administers a dedicated bank account for fees and payments to creditors, debt collectors, debt adjusters, or debt adjusting agencies in connection with the renegotiation, settlement, reduction, or other alteration of the terms of payment or other terms of a debt.

Sec. 2.  RCW 18.28.080 and 1999 c 151 s 102 are each amended to read as follows:

      (1) By contract a debt adjuster may charge a reasonable fee for debt adjusting services.  The total fee for debt adjusting services, including, but not limited to, any fee charged by a financial institution or a third-party account administrator, may not exceed fifteen percent of the total debt listed by the debtor on the contract.  The fee retained by the debt adjuster from any one payment made by or on behalf of the debtor may not exceed fifteen percent of the payment.  The debt adjuster may make an initial charge of up to twenty-five dollars which shall be considered part of the total fee.  If an initial charge is made, no additional fee may be retained which will bring the total fee retained to date to more than fifteen percent of the total payments made to date.  No fee whatsoever shall be applied against rent and utility payments for housing.

      In the event of cancellation or default on performance of the contract by the debtor prior to its successful completion, the debt adjuster may collect in addition to fees previously received, six percent of that portion of the remaining indebtedness listed on said contract which was due when the contract was entered into, but not to exceed twenty-five dollars.

      (2) A debt adjuster shall not be entitled to retain any fee until notifying all creditors listed by the debtor that the debtor has engaged the debt adjuster in a program of debt adjusting.

      (3) The department of financial institutions has authority to enforce compliance with this section.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 3.  A new section is added to chapter 19.230 RCW to read as follows:

      (b) A debtor owns the funds held in the account and must be paid accrued interest on the account, if any;

      (e) A debtor may withdraw from the service provided by a third- party account administrator at any time without penalty and must receive all funds in the account, other than funds earned by a debt adjuster in compliance with chapter 18.28 RCW, within seven business days of the debtor's request; and

      (f) A contract between a third-party account administrator and a debtor must disclose in precise terms the rate and amount of all charges and fees.  In addition, the contract must include a statement that is substantially similar to the following:  "Under the Washington Debt Adjusting Act, the total fees you are charged for debt adjusting services may not exceed fifteen percent of the total amount of debt you listed on your contract with the debt adjuster.  This includes fees charged by a debt adjuster, a third-party account administrator, and a financial institution."  The disclosures required by this subsection (1)(f) must be on the front page of the contract and must be in at least twelve-point type.

      (2) The legislature finds and declares that any violation of this section substantially affects the public interest and is an unfair and deceptive act or practice and unfair method of competition in the conduct of trade or commerce as set forth in RCW 19.86.020.  In addition to all remedies available in chapter 19.86 RCW, a person injured by a violation of this section may bring a civil action to recover the actual damages proximately caused by a violation of this section, or one thousand dollars, whichever is greater.

      (3) For purposes of this section and section 4 of this act:

      (a) "Debt adjuster" has the same meaning as defined in RCW 18.28.010;

      (b) "Third-party account administrator" means an independent entity that holds or administers a dedicated bank account for fees and payments to creditors, debt collectors, debt adjusters, or debt adjusting agencies in connection with the renegotiation, settlement, reduction, or other alteration of the terms of payment or other terms of a debt.  "Third-party account administrator" does not include an entity that is otherwise exempt from this chapter under RCW 19.230.020.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 4.  A new section is added to chapter 19.230 RCW to read as follows:

      (1) A third-party account administrator shall maintain the following records for at least five years:

      The definitions in this section apply throughout this chapter unless the context clearly requires otherwise.

      (1) "Abuse or neglect" means sexual abuse, sexual exploitation, or injury of a child by any person under circumstances which cause harm to the child's health, welfare, or safety, excluding conduct permitted under RCW 9A.16.100; or the negligent treatment or maltreatment of a child by a person responsible for or providing care to the child.  An abused child is a child who has been subjected to child abuse or neglect as defined in this section.

      (4) "Child protective services section" means the child protective services section of the department.

      (5) "Children's advocacy center" means a child-focused facility in good standing with the state chapter for children's advocacy centers and that coordinates a multidisciplinary process for the investigation, prosecution, and treatment of sexual and other types of child abuse.  Children's advocacy centers provide a location for forensic interviews and coordinate access to services such as, but not limited to, medical evaluations, advocacy, therapy, and case review by multidisciplinary teams within the context of county protocols as defined in RCW 26.44.180 and 26.44.185.

      (9) "Family assessment" means a comprehensive assessment of child safety, risk of subsequent child abuse or neglect, and family strengths and needs that is applied to a child abuse or neglect report.  Family assessment does not include a determination as to whether child abuse or neglect occurred, but does determine the need for services to address the safety of the child and the risk of subsequent maltreatment.
      (10) "Family assessment response" means a way of responding to certain reports of child abuse or neglect made under this chapter using a differential response approach to child protective services.  The family assessment response shall focus on the safety of the child, the integrity and preservation of the family, and shall assess the status of the child and the family in terms of risk of abuse and neglect including the parent's or guardian's or other caretaker's capacity and willingness to protect the child and, if necessary, plan and arrange the provision of services to reduce the risk and otherwise support the family.  No one is named as a perpetrator, and no investigative finding is entered in the record as a result of a family assessment.
      (11) "Founded" means the determination following an investigation by the department that, based on available information, it is more likely than not that child abuse or neglect did occur.

      (((10))) (12) "Inconclusive" means the determination following an investigation by the department, prior to October 1, 2008, that based on available information a decision cannot be made that more likely than not, child abuse or neglect did or did not occur.

Sec. 3.  RCW 26.44.030 and 2009 c 480 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:

      (b) When any person, in his or her official supervisory capacity with a nonprofit or for-profit organization, has reasonable cause to believe that a child has suffered abuse or neglect caused by a person over whom he or she regularly exercises supervisory authority, he or she shall report such incident, or cause a report to be made, to the proper law enforcement agency, provided that the person alleged to have caused the abuse or neglect is employed by, contracted by, or volunteers with the organization and coaches, trains, educates, or counsels a child or children or regularly has unsupervised access to a child or children as part of the employment, contract, or voluntary service.  No one shall be required to report under this section when he or she obtains the information solely as a result of a privileged communication as provided in RCW 5.60.060.

      Nothing in this subsection (1)(b) shall limit a person's duty to report under (a) of this subsection.

      For the purposes of this subsection, the following definitions apply:

      (i) "Official supervisory capacity" means a position, status, or role created, recognized, or designated by any nonprofit or for-profit organization, either for financial gain or without financial gain, whose scope includes, but is not limited to, overseeing, directing, or managing another person who is employed by, contracted by, or volunteers with the nonprofit or for-profit organization.

      (ii) "Regularly exercises supervisory authority" means to act in his or her official supervisory capacity on an ongoing or continuing basis with regards to a particular person.

      (c) The reporting requirement also applies to department of corrections personnel who, in the course of their employment, observe offenders or the children with whom the offenders are in contact.  If, as a result of observations or information received in the course of his or her employment, any department of corrections personnel has reasonable cause to believe that a child has suffered abuse or neglect, he or she shall report the incident, or cause a report to be made, to the proper law enforcement agency or to the department as provided in RCW 26.44.040.

      (d) The reporting requirement shall also apply to any adult who has reasonable cause to believe that a child who resides with them, has suffered severe abuse, and is able or capable of making a report.  For the purposes of this subsection, "severe abuse" means any of the following:  Any single act of abuse that causes physical trauma of sufficient severity that, if left untreated, could cause death; any single act of sexual abuse that causes significant bleeding, deep bruising, or significant external or internal swelling; or more than one act of physical abuse, each of which causes bleeding, deep bruising, significant external or internal swelling, bone fracture, or unconsciousness.

      (e) The reporting requirement also applies to guardians ad litem, including court-appointed special advocates, appointed under Titles 11, 13, and 26 RCW, who in the course of their representation of children in these actions have reasonable cause to believe a child has been abused or neglected.

      (f) The report must be made at the first opportunity, but in no case longer than forty-eight hours after there is reasonable cause to believe that the child has suffered abuse or neglect.  The report must include the identity of the accused if known.

      (2) The reporting requirement of subsection (1) of this section does not apply to the discovery of abuse or neglect that occurred during childhood if it is discovered after the child has become an adult.  However, if there is reasonable cause to believe other children are or may be at risk of abuse or neglect by the accused, the reporting requirement of subsection (1) of this section does apply.

      (3) Any other person who has reasonable cause to believe that a child has suffered abuse or neglect may report such incident to the proper law enforcement agency or to the department of social and health services as provided in RCW 26.44.040.

      (4) The department, upon receiving a report of an incident of alleged abuse or neglect pursuant to this chapter, involving a child who has died or has had physical injury or injuries inflicted upon him or her other than by accidental means or who has been subjected to alleged sexual abuse, shall report such incident to the proper law enforcement agency.  In emergency cases, where the child's welfare is endangered, the department shall notify the proper law enforcement agency within twenty-four hours after a report is received by the department.  In all other cases, the department shall notify the law enforcement agency within seventy-two hours after a report is received by the department.  If the department makes an oral report, a written report must also be made to the proper law enforcement agency within five days thereafter.

      (5) Any law enforcement agency receiving a report of an incident of alleged abuse or neglect pursuant to this chapter, involving a child who has died or has had physical injury or injuries inflicted upon him or her other than by accidental means, or who has been subjected to alleged sexual abuse, shall report such incident in writing as provided in RCW 26.44.040 to the proper county prosecutor or city attorney for appropriate action whenever the law enforcement agency's investigation reveals that a crime may have been committed.  The law enforcement agency shall also notify the department of all reports received and the law enforcement agency's disposition of them.  In emergency cases, where the child's welfare is endangered, the law enforcement agency shall notify the department within twenty-four hours.  In all other cases, the law enforcement agency shall notify the department within seventy-two hours after a report is received by the law enforcement agency.

      (6) Any county prosecutor or city attorney receiving a report under subsection (5) of this section shall notify the victim, any persons the victim requests, and the local office of the department, of the decision to charge or decline to charge a crime, within five days of making the decision.

      (7) The department may conduct ongoing case planning and consultation with those persons or agencies required to report under this section, with consultants designated by the department, and with designated representatives of Washington Indian tribes if the client information exchanged is pertinent to cases currently receiving child protective services.  Upon request, the department shall conduct such planning and consultation with those persons required to report under this section if the department determines it is in the best interests of the child.  Information considered privileged by statute and not directly related to reports required by this section must not be divulged without a valid written waiver of the privilege.

      (8) Any case referred to the department by a physician licensed under chapter 18.57 or 18.71 RCW on the basis of an expert medical opinion that child abuse, neglect, or sexual assault has occurred and that the child's safety will be seriously endangered if returned home, the department shall file a dependency petition unless a second licensed physician of the parents' choice believes that such expert medical opinion is incorrect.  If the parents fail to designate a second physician, the department may make the selection.  If a physician finds that a child has suffered abuse or neglect but that such abuse or neglect does not constitute imminent danger to the child's health or safety, and the department agrees with the physician's assessment, the child may be left in the parents' home while the department proceeds with reasonable efforts to remedy parenting deficiencies.

      (9) Persons or agencies exchanging information under subsection (7) of this section shall not further disseminate or release the information except as authorized by state or federal statute.  Violation of this subsection is a misdemeanor.

      (10) Upon receiving a report of alleged abuse or neglect, the department shall make reasonable efforts to learn the name, address, and telephone number of each person making a report of abuse or neglect under this section.  The department shall provide assurances of appropriate confidentiality of the identification of persons reporting under this section.  If the department is unable to learn the information required under this subsection, the department shall only investigate cases in which:

      (a) The department believes there is a serious threat of substantial harm to the child;

      (b) The report indicates conduct involving a criminal offense that has, or is about to occur, in which the child is the victim; or

      (c) The department has a prior founded report of abuse or neglect with regard to a member of the household that is within three years of receipt of the referral.

      (11)(a) Upon receiving a report of alleged abuse or neglect, the department shall use one of the following discrete responses to reports of child abuse or neglect that are screened in and accepted for departmental response:
      (i) Investigation; or
      (ii) Family assessment.
      (b) In making the response in (a) of this subsection the department shall:
      (i) Use a method by which to assign cases to investigation or family assessment which are based on an array of factors that may include the presence of:  Imminent danger, level of risk, number of previous child abuse or neglect reports, or other presenting case characteristics, such as the type of alleged maltreatment and the age of the alleged victim.  Age of the alleged victim shall not be used as the sole criterion for determining case assignment;
      (ii) Allow for a change in response assignment based on new information that alters risk or safety level;
      (iii) Allow families assigned to family assessment to choose to receive an investigation rather than a family assessment;
      (iv) Provide a full investigation if a family refuses the initial family assessment;
      (v) Provide voluntary services to families based on the results of the initial family assessment.  If a family refuses voluntary services, and the department cannot identify specific facts related to risk or safety that warrant assignment to investigation under this chapter, and there is not a history of reports of child abuse or neglect related to the family, then the department must close the family assessment response case.  However, if at any time the department identifies risk or safety factors that warrant an investigation under this chapter, then the family assessment response case must be reassigned to investigation;
      (vi) Conduct an investigation, and not a family assessment, in response to an allegation that, the department determines based on the intake assessment:
      (A) Poses a risk of "imminent harm" consistent with the definition provided in RCW 13.34.050, which includes, but is not limited to, sexual abuse and sexual exploitation as defined in this chapter;
      (B) Poses a serious threat of substantial harm to a child;
      (C) Constitutes conduct involving a criminal offense that has, or is about to occur, in which the child is the victim;
      (D) The child is an abandoned child as defined in RCW 13.34.030;
      (E) The child is an adjudicated dependent child as defined in RCW 13.34.030, or the child is in a facility that is licensed, operated, or certified for care of children by the department under chapter 74.15 RCW, or by the department of early learning.
      (c) The department may not be held civilly liable for the decision to respond to an allegation of child abuse or neglect by using the family assessment response under this section unless the state or its officers, agents, or employees acted with reckless disregard.
      (12)(a) For reports of alleged abuse or neglect that are accepted for investigation by the department, the investigation shall be conducted within time frames established by the department in rule.  In no case shall the investigation extend longer than ninety days from the date the report is received, unless the investigation is being conducted under a written protocol pursuant to RCW 26.44.180 and a law enforcement agency or prosecuting attorney has determined that a longer investigation period is necessary.  At the completion of the investigation, the department shall make a finding that the report of child abuse or neglect is founded or unfounded.

      (b) If a court in a civil or criminal proceeding, considering the same facts or circumstances as are contained in the report being investigated by the department, makes a judicial finding by a preponderance of the evidence or higher that the subject of the pending investigation has abused or neglected the child, the department shall adopt the finding in its investigation.

      (((12))) (13) For reports of alleged abuse or neglect that are responded to through family assessment response, the department shall:
      (a) Provide the family with a written explanation of the procedure for assessment of the child and the family and its purposes;
      (b) Collaborate with the family to identify family strengths, resources, and service needs, and develop a service plan with the goal of reducing risk of harm to the child and improving or restoring family well-being;

      (c) Complete the family assessment response within forty-five days of receiving the report; however, upon parental agreement, the family assessment response period may be extended up to ninety days;
      (d) Offer services to the family in a manner that makes it clear that acceptance of the services is voluntary;
      (e) Implement the family assessment response in a consistent and cooperative manner;
      (f) Have the parent or guardian sign an agreement to participate in services before services are initiated that informs the parents of their rights under family assessment response, all of their options, and the options the department has if the parents do not sign the consent form.
      (14) In conducting an investigation or family assessment of alleged abuse or neglect, the department or law enforcement agency:

      (a) May interview children.  If the department determines that the response to the allegation will be family assessment response, the preferred practice is to request a parent's, guardian's, or custodian's permission to interview the child before conducting the child interview unless doing so would compromise the safety of the child or the integrity of the assessment.  The interviews may be conducted on school premises, at day-care facilities, at the child's home, or at other suitable locations outside of the presence of parents.  If the allegation is investigated, parental notification of the interview must occur at the earliest possible point in the investigation that will not jeopardize the safety or protection of the child or the course of the investigation.  Prior to commencing the interview the department or law enforcement agency shall determine whether the child wishes a third party to be present for the interview and, if so, shall make reasonable efforts to accommodate the child's wishes.  Unless the child objects, the department or law enforcement agency shall make reasonable efforts to include a third party in any interview so long as the presence of the third party will not jeopardize the course of the investigation; and

      (b) Shall have access to all relevant records of the child in the possession of mandated reporters and their employees.

      (((14))) (16) In investigating and responding to allegations of child abuse and neglect, the department may conduct background checks as authorized by state and federal law.

      (((15))) (17)(a) The department shall maintain investigation records and conduct timely and periodic reviews of all founded cases of abuse and neglect.  The department shall maintain a log of screened-out nonabusive cases.

      (b) In the family assessment response, the department shall not make a finding as to whether child abuse or neglect occurred.  No one shall be named as a perpetrator and no investigative finding shall be entered in the department's child abuse or neglect database.

      (((16))) (18) The department shall use a risk assessment process when investigating alleged child abuse and neglect referrals.  The department shall present the risk factors at all hearings in which the placement of a dependent child is an issue.  Substance abuse must be a risk factor.  ((The department shall, within funds appropriated for this purpose, offer enhanced community-based services to persons who are determined not to require further state intervention.
      (17))) (19) Upon receipt of a report of alleged abuse or neglect the law enforcement agency may arrange to interview the person making the report and any collateral sources to determine if any malice is involved in the reporting.

      (((18))) (20) Upon receiving a report of alleged abuse or neglect involving a child under the court's jurisdiction under chapter 13.34 RCW, the department shall promptly notify the child's guardian ad litem of the report's contents.  The department shall also notify the guardian ad litem of the disposition of the report.  For purposes of this subsection, "guardian ad litem" has the meaning provided in RCW 13.34.030.

Sec. 4.  RCW 26.44.031 and 2007 c 220 s 3 are each amended to read as follows:

      (a) A screened-out report, within three years from the receipt of the report; and

      (3) The department may keep records concerning founded reports of child abuse or neglect as the department determines by rule.

      (4) ((An)) No unfounded, screened-out, or inconclusive report or information about a family's participation or nonparticipation in the family assessment response may ((not)) be disclosed to a child-placing agency, private adoption agency, or any other provider licensed under chapter 74.15 RCW without the consent of the individual who is the subject of the report or family assessment, unless:
      (a) The individual seeks to become a licensed foster parent or adoptive parent; or
      (b) The individual is the parent or legal custodian of a child being served by one of the agencies referenced in this subsection.

      (5)(a) If the department fails to comply with this section, an individual who is the subject of a report may institute proceedings for injunctive or other appropriate relief for enforcement of the requirement to purge information.  These proceedings may be instituted in the superior court for the county in which the person resides or, if the person is not then a resident of this state, in the superior court for Thurston county.

      (b) If the department fails to comply with subsection (4) of this section and an individual who is the subject of the report or family assessment response information is harmed by the disclosure of information, in addition to the relief provided in (a) of this subsection, the court may award a penalty of up to one thousand dollars and reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs to the petitioner.

      A law enforcement officer may take, or cause to be taken, a child into custody without a court order if there is probable cause to believe that the child is abused or neglected and that the child would be injured or could not be taken into custody if it were necessary to first obtain a court order pursuant to RCW 13.34.050.  The law enforcement agency or the department of social and health services investigating such a report is hereby authorized to photograph such a child for the purpose of providing documentary evidence of the physical condition of the child.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 6.  A new section is added to chapter 26.44 RCW to read as follows:
