Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:

"Sec. 1. RCW 35.18.020 and 2015 c 53 s 32 are each amended to read as follows:

(1) The number of councilmembers in a city or town operating with a council-manager plan of government shall be based upon the latest population of the city or town that is determined by the office of financial management as follows:

(a) A city or town having not more than two thousand inhabitants, five councilmembers; and

(b) A city or town having more than two thousand, seven councilmembers.

(2) Except for the initial staggering of terms, if applicable, councilmembers shall serve for four-year terms of office. All councilmembers shall serve until their successors are elected and qualified and assume office in accordance with RCW 29A.60.280. Councilmembers may be elected on a citywide or townwide basis, or from wards or districts, or any combination of these alternatives. Candidates shall run for specific positions. Wards or districts shall be redrawn as provided in chapter 29A.76 RCW. Wards or districts shall be used as follows: (a) Only a resident of the ward or district may be a candidate for, or hold office as, a councilmember of the ward or district; and (b) only voters of the ward or district may vote at a primary to nominate candidates for a councilmember of the ward or district. Voters of the entire city or town may vote at the general election to elect a councilmember of a ward or district, unless the city or town ((~~had prior to January 1, 1994, limited~~)) council has adopted an ordinance or the voters of the city or town have approved an initiative limiting the voting in the general election for any or all council positions to only voters residing within the ward or district associated with the council positions. ((~~If a city or town had so limited the voting in the general election to only voters residing within the ward or district, then the city or town shall be authorized to continue to do so.~~))

(3) When a city or town has qualified for an increase in the number of councilmembers from five to seven by virtue of the next succeeding population determination made by the office of financial management, two additional council positions shall be filled at the next municipal general election ((~~with~~)). If the voting at the election includes voters of the entire city and if the council positions are to be staggered terms, the person elected to one of the new council positions receiving the greatest number of votes ((~~being elected for~~)) shall serve a four-year term of office, and the person elected to the other additional council position ((~~being elected for~~)) shall serve a two-year term of office. The two additional councilmembers shall assume office immediately when qualified in accordance with RCW 29A.04.133, but the term of office shall be computed from the first day of January after the year in which they are elected. Their successors shall be elected to four-year terms of office. The city or town may redistrict and create seven wards by ordinance or, if authorized, voter initiative, and conduct the appointment and election of the new councilmembers within the wards.

Prior to the election of the two new councilmembers, the city or town council shall fill the additional positions by appointment not later than forty-five days following the release of the population determination, and each appointee shall hold office only until the new position is filled by election.

(4) When a city or town has qualified for a decrease in the number of councilmembers from seven to five by virtue of the next succeeding population determination made by the office of financial management, two council positions shall be eliminated at the next municipal general election if four council positions normally would be filled at that election, or one council position shall be eliminated at each of the next two succeeding municipal general elections if three council positions normally would be filled at the first municipal general election after the population determination. The council shall by ordinance indicate which, if any, of the remaining positions shall be elected at-large or from wards or districts. The city or town may redistrict and create five wards by ordinance or, if authorized, voter initiative, and conduct the appointment and election of the new councilmembers within the wards.

(5) Vacancies on a council shall occur and shall be filled as provided in chapter 42.12 RCW.

(6) Any city or town may by ordinance or, if authorized, voter initiative, adopt a voting system for voters of the entire city or town at the general election for multiple council positions to:

(a) Limit the selection of candidates to fewer candidates than there are council positions to elect;

(b) Cumulate the number of votes a voter is entitled to cast for each council position, and to cast the total number of votes in favor of a single candidate or to distribute the total number of votes among multiple candidates; or

(c) Vote in a single transferable voting system where voters rank each candidate in order of preference, with their vote counting towards the highest ranked candidate, and preferences allocated among other candidates who are not elected on first place votes.

(7) If a city or town adopts a multiple council position alternative voting system described in subsection (6) of this section up to one hundred eighty days before a general election, it may subject any affected unexpired position to new elections at the next general election.

Sec. 2. RCW 35.23.051 and 2015 c 53 s 39 are each amended to read as follows:

General municipal elections in second‑class cities shall be held biennially in the odd-numbered years and shall be subject to general election law.

The terms of office of the mayor, city attorney, clerk, and treasurer shall be four years and until their successors are elected and qualified and assume office in accordance with RCW 29A.60.280: PROVIDED, That if the offices of city attorney, clerk, and treasurer are made appointive, the city attorney, clerk, and treasurer shall not be appointed for a definite term: PROVIDED FURTHER, That the term of the elected treasurer shall not commence in the same biennium in which the term of the mayor commences, nor in which the terms of the city attorney and clerk commence if they are elected.

Council positions shall be numbered in each second‑class city so that council position seven has a two-year term of office and council positions one through six shall each have four-year terms of office. Each councilmember shall remain in office until a successor is elected and qualified and assumes office in accordance with RCW 29A.60.280.

In its discretion the council of a second‑class city may divide the city by ordinance, into a convenient number of wards, not exceeding six, fix the boundaries of the wards, and change the ward boundaries from time to time and as provided in RCW 29A.76.010. No change in the boundaries of any ward shall be made within one hundred twenty days next before the date of a general municipal election, nor within twenty months after the wards have been established or altered. However, if a boundary change results in one ward being represented by more councilmembers than the number to which it is entitled, those having the shortest unexpired terms shall be assigned by the council to wards where there is a vacancy, and the councilmembers so assigned shall be deemed to be residents of the wards to which they are assigned for purposes of determining whether those positions are vacant.

Whenever such city is so divided into wards, the city council shall designate by ordinance the number of councilmembers to be elected from each ward, apportioning the same in proportion to the population of the wards. Thereafter the councilmembers so designated shall be elected by the voters resident in such ward, or by general vote of the whole city as may be designated in such ordinance. Council position seven shall not be associated with a ward and the person elected to that position may reside anywhere in the city and voters throughout the city may vote at a primary to nominate candidates for position seven, when a primary is necessary, and at a general election to elect the person to council position seven. Additional territory that is added to the city shall, by act of the council, be annexed to contiguous wards without affecting the right to redistrict at the expiration of twenty months after last previous division. The removal of a councilmember from the ward for which he or she was elected shall create a vacancy in such office.

Wards shall be redrawn as provided in chapter 29A.76 RCW. Wards shall be used as follows: (1) Only a resident of the ward may be a candidate for, or hold office as, a councilmember of the ward; and (2) only voters of the ward may vote at a primary to nominate candidates for a councilmember of the ward. Voters of the entire city may vote at the general election to elect a councilmember of a ward, unless the city ((~~had prior to January 1, 1994, limited~~)) council has adopted an ordinance or, if authorized, the voters of the city have approved an initiative limiting the voting in the general election for any or all council positions to only voters residing within the ward associated with the council positions. ((~~If a city had so limited the voting in the general election to only voters residing within the ward, then the city shall be authorized to continue to do so.~~)) The elections for ((~~the~~)) any remaining council position or council positions that are not associated with a ward shall be conducted as if the wards did not exist.

Sec. 3. RCW 35.23.850 and 2015 c 53 s 41 are each amended to read as follows:

In any city initially classified as a second‑class city prior to January 1, 1993, that retained its second‑class city plan of government when the city reorganized as a noncharter code city, the city council may divide the city into wards, not exceeding six in all, or change the boundaries of existing wards at any time less than one hundred twenty days before a municipal general election. No change in the boundaries of wards shall affect the term of any councilmember, and councilmembers shall serve out their terms in the wards of their residences at the time of their elections. However, if these boundary changes result in one ward being represented by more councilmembers than the number to which it is entitled, those having the shortest unexpired terms shall be assigned by the council to wards where there is a vacancy, and the councilmembers so assigned shall be deemed to be residents of the wards to which they are assigned for purposes of determining whether those positions are vacant and shall serve until a ward resident is elected.

The representation of each ward in the city council shall be in proportion to the population as nearly as is practicable.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 4. A new section is added to chapter 35.23 RCW to read as follows:

(1) Any city subject to this chapter may by ordinance or, if authorized, voter initiative, adopt a voting system for voters of the entire city at the general election for multiple council positions to:

(a) Limit the selection of candidates to fewer candidates than there are council positions to elect;

(2) If a city adopts a multiple council position alternative voting system described in this section up to one hundred eighty days before a general election, it may subject any affected unexpired position to new elections at the next general election.

Sec. 5. RCW 35.30.080 and 2015 c 53 s 42 are each amended to read as follows:

(1) When a majority of the legislative body of an unclassified city determines that it would serve the best interests and general welfare of such municipality to change the election procedures of such city to the procedures specified in this section, such legislative body may, by resolution, declare its intention to adopt such procedures for the city. Such resolution must be adopted at least one hundred eighty days before the general municipal election at which the new election procedures are implemented. Within ten days after the passage of the resolution, the legislative body shall cause it to be published at least once in a newspaper of general circulation within the city.

(2) All general municipal elections in an unclassified city adopting a resolution under subsection (1) of this section shall be held biennially in the odd-numbered years as provided in RCW 29A.04.330 and shall be held in accordance with the general election laws of the state.

The term of the treasurer shall not commence in the same biennium in which the term of the mayor commences. Candidates for the city council shall run for specific council positions.

(a) Limit the selection of candidates to fewer candidates than there are commissioner positions to elect;

(1) It is an unfair practice for any employer:

(a) To fail or refuse to make reasonable accommodation for an employee for pregnancy, childbirth, or a pregnancy-related health condition including, but not limited to, the need to express breast milk, unless the employer can demonstrate that doing so would impose an undue hardship on the employer's program, enterprise, or business, subject to subsection (2) of this section;

(b) To take adverse action against an employee who requests or uses an accommodation under this section that affects the terms, conditions, or privileges of employment;

(c) To deny employment opportunities to an otherwise qualified employee if such denial is based on the employer's need to make reasonable accommodation required by this section;

(e) To require an employee who is pregnant, has a condition related to childbirth, or has a pregnancy-related health condition to accept an accommodation that the person chooses not to accept.

(2)(a) Except as provided in (b) of this subsection, an employer may request that the employee provide written certification from her treating health care professional regarding the need for reasonable accommodation if the need for reasonable accommodation is not apparent to a reasonable person.

(i) Longer, more frequent, or flexible restroom, food, or water breaks;

(ii) Seating;

(iii) Limits on lifting over twenty pounds; and

(iv) Flexible scheduling to accommodate for prenatal and postnatal health care visits.

(3) For the purposes of this section, "reasonable accommodation" means measures that enable the proper performance of the particular job held or desired and enable the enjoyment of equal benefits, privileges, or terms and conditions of employment.

(a) Allowing for time off to recover from childbirth;

(b) Acquiring or modifying equipment or an employee's work station;

(d) Providing assistance with manual labor; and

(b) This section does not require an employer to discharge any employee, transfer any employee with more seniority, or promote any employee who is not qualified to perform the job, unless the employer does so or would do so to accommodate other classes of employees who need accommodation.

(5) This section does not preempt, limit, diminish, or otherwise affect any other provision of law relating to sex discrimination or pregnancy, or in any way diminish or limit the coverage for a condition related to pregnancy, childbirth, or a pregnancy-related health condition.

(6) The attorney general shall investigate complaints and enforce this section. In addition to the complaint process with the attorney general, any person deeming himself or herself injured by any act in violation of this section shall have a civil cause of action in court to enjoin further violations, or to recover the actual damages sustained by the person, or both, together with the cost of suit including reasonable attorneys' fees or any other appropriate remedy authorized by state or federal law."

The employee must provide written notice to the employer stating that a health condition related to pregnancy or childbirth requires accommodation.

(2) Notwithstanding subsection (1) of this section, an employee who is pregnant or has a health condition related to pregnancy or childbirth shall not be required to obtain the advice of her licensed health care provider, nor may an employer claim undue hardship, for the following accommodations: (a) More frequent, longer, or flexible restroom, food, and water breaks; (b) seating; and (c) limits on lifting over twenty pounds.

(3) The employee and employer shall engage in an interactive process with respect to an employee's request for a reasonable accommodation.

(5) An employer shall not require an employee who has a pregnancy-related or childbirth-related health condition to accept an accommodation, if such accommodation is unnecessary to enable the employee to perform her job.

(6) An employer shall not:

(a) Take adverse action against an employee who requests or uses an accommodation under this section that affects the terms, conditions, or privileges of employment;

(b) Deny employment opportunities to an otherwise qualified employee if such denial is based on the employer's need to make reasonable accommodation required by this section; or

(8) The definitions in this subsection apply throughout this section unless the context clearly requires otherwise.

(a) "Employee" means an individual employed by an employer.

(b) "Employer" means a person engaged in an industry who has fifteen or more employees for each working day in each of twenty or more calendar weeks in the current or preceding calendar year, except that this section does not apply to an entity that is exempt from federal taxation under U.S.C. Title 26, section 501(c).

(i) Making existing facilities used by employees readily accessible to and usable by employees who have a pregnancy-related or childbirth-related disability;

(ii) The overall financial resources of the facility or facilities involved in the provision of the reasonable accommodation; the number of persons employed by the employer; the effect on expenses and resources; or the impact otherwise of such accommodation upon the employer;

(iii) The overall financial resources of the employer; the overall size of the business, including the number of employees; and the number, type, and location of its facilities; and

(iv) The type of operation or operations of the employer, including the composition, structure, and functions of the workforce of such employer, the geographic separateness, and administrative or fiscal relationship of the facility or facilities in question to the employer.

(9) The attorney general shall investigate complaints and enforce this section. Prior to filing a civil cause of action, a person aggrieved by a violation of this section must file a complaint with the attorney general. The attorney general shall investigate to determine if there has been compliance with this section. If the investigation indicates there is evidence that a violation may have occurred, the attorney general shall issue a written determination stating that a violation may have occurred. If the investigation indicates that there is insufficient evidence that a violation has occurred, the attorney general shall issue a written determination stating that there is insufficient evidence to determine whether a violation has occurred. The attorney general's determination constitutes the final administrative action, but a person may seek judicial review of the determination. A person aggrieved by a violation of this section may pursue a civil cause of action in court only after exhausting the administrative remedy provided under this subsection.
