TOTAL APPROPRIATIONS $13,869,524   $52,430,476   $66,300,000

 

    NEW SECTION.  Sec. 6.  In addition to the requirements for the study required by section 3, chapter . . ., Laws of 2000 (Substitute House Bill No. 2392) for the joint task force on local governments, the joint task force on local governments shall identify appropriate levels of ongoing state funding of city and county program costs and the manner in which such funding would be distributed.  The joint task force on local governments shall consider factors that may be incorporated into distribution mechanisms to provide equalization funding for jurisdictions based on incorporation, growth, economic conditions, or other economic changes.

 

    NEW SECTION.  Sec. 7.  A new section is added to chapter 43.79 RCW to read as follows:

    (1) The shorelines protection account is created in the state treasury.  Moneys transferred into the account shall be distributed by the treasurer to eligible counties as provided in this section.  Beginning with the fiscal year ending June 30, 2002, and in each of the following fiscal years through the fiscal year ending June 30, 2006, the treasurer shall transfer the sum of twenty million dollars into the shorelines protection account from the general fund--state.  The transfers shall be made in equal quarterly deposits.

    (2) Deposits in the shorelines protection account shall be distributed to eligible counties as defined in subsection (3) of this section based on miles of shorelines in the county.  For purposes of this section, "miles of shorelines in the county" means the number of miles of shorelines of the state, as defined in RCW 90.58.030, in the county as of January 1, 2000.

    (3) A county is eligible for distributions from the shorelines protection account created under this section if it:  (a) Has shorelines of the state as defined in RCW 90.58.030; and (b) has a population of less than five hundred thousand as determined by the office of financial management.

    (4) Eligible counties may use the moneys received under this section solely for the purposes authorized in subsection (5) of this section on riparian, marine, or estuarine parcels, or the portion thereof, that:

    (a) Have been designated as critical areas under chapter 36.70A RCW;

    (b) Are located within a county's shoreline management jurisdiction under chapter 90.58 RCW; or

    (c) Have been identified as addressing a limiting factor under RCW 75.46.070.

    (5)(a) Eligible counties may use moneys received from the account for:

    (i) Voluntary leases or licenses from willing lessors or licensors for shoreline conservation or preservation; or

    (ii) Voluntary acquisition of less than fee simple interests from willing sellers for conservation futures, development rights, or conservation easements.

    (b) Eligible counties also may use moneys received from the account for restoration, maintenance, and monitoring of property leased or property interests acquired as specified in (a) of this subsection.

    (6) In making acquisition decisions, counties shall consult with a designated lead entity that has been established under RCW 75.46.060, and municipalities within the county, and shall give priority to riparian, marine, and estuarine projects or parcels:

    (a) For which interests may be acquired or leases may be executed in coordination with acquisitions made by the interagency committee for outdoor recreation according to chapter 43.99A RCW; or

    (b) That have been designated by the United States national marine fisheries service or the United States fish and wildlife service as critical habitat for threatened or endangered species according to 16 U.S.C. Sec. 1533(a)(3).

 

    Sec. 8.  RCW 43.135.035 and 1994 c 2 s 4 are each amended to read as follows:

    (1) After July 1, 1995, any action or combination of actions by the legislature that raises state revenue or requires revenue-neutral tax shifts may be taken only if approved by a two-thirds vote of each house, and then only if state expenditures in any fiscal year, including the new revenue, will not exceed the state expenditure limits established under this chapter.

    (2)(a) If the legislative action under subsection (1) of this section will result in expenditures in excess of the state expenditure limit, then the action of the legislature shall not take effect until approved by a vote of the people at a November general election.  The office of financial management shall adjust the state expenditure limit by the amount of additional revenue approved by the voters under this section.  This adjustment shall not exceed the amount of revenue generated by the legislative action during the first full fiscal year in which it is in effect.  The state expenditure limit shall be adjusted downward upon expiration or repeal of the legislative action.

    (b) The ballot title for any vote of the people required under this section shall be substantially as follows:

 

    "Shall taxes be imposed on . . . . . . . in order to allow a spending increase above last year's authorized spending adjusted for inflation and population increases?"

 

    (3)(a) The state expenditure limit may be exceeded upon declaration of an emergency for a period not to exceed twenty-four months by a law approved by a two-thirds vote of each house of the legislature and signed by the governor.  The law shall set forth the nature of the emergency, which is limited to natural disasters that require immediate government action to alleviate human suffering and provide humanitarian assistance.  The state expenditure limit may be exceeded for no more than twenty-four months following the declaration of the emergency and only for the purposes contained in the emergency declaration.

    (b) Additional taxes required for an emergency under this section may be imposed only until thirty days following the next general election, unless an extension is approved at that general election.  The additional taxes shall expire upon expiration of the declaration of emergency.  The legislature shall not impose additional taxes for emergency purposes under this subsection unless funds in the education construction fund have been exhausted.

    (c) The state or any political subdivision of the state shall not impose any tax on intangible property listed in RCW 84.36.070 as that statute exists on January 1, 1993.

    (4) If the cost of any state program or function is shifted from the state general fund on or after January 1, 1993, to another source of funding, or if moneys are transferred from the state general fund to another fund or account, the office of financial management shall lower the state expenditure limit to reflect the shift.  This subsection does not apply to transfers to the shorelines protection account under section 7 of this act.

 

    NEW SECTION.  Sec. 9.  A new section is added to chapter 39.42 RCW to read as follows:

    Deposits in the shorelines protection account under section 7 of this act shall not be deducted from the calculation of general state revenues under RCW 39.42.060.

 

    NEW SECTION.  Sec. 10.  (1) Sections 1 through 6 of this act are necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety, or support of the state government and its existing public institutions, and take effect immediately.

    (2) Sections 7 through 9 of this act take effect July 1, 2001.
