"Sec. 4 RCW 82.42.050 and 1969 ex.s. c 254 s 4 are each amended
to read as follows:
Should any distributor fail to file any report or statement, as
((shall be)) is required by rule and regulation of the director,
showing the total number of gallons of aircraft fuel sold, delivered,
or used by a distributor within the state during the preceding calendar
month, the director ((shall)) must proceed ((forthwith)) to determine
from the best available sources such amount and ((said)) the
determination ((shall be)) is presumed to be correct for that period,
until proved by competent evidence to be otherwise. The director
((shall)) must immediately assess the excise tax in the amount so
determined, adding thereto a penalty of ten percent for failure to
report. Such penalty ((shall be)) is cumulative of other penalties
((herein)) provided in this section. All statements or reports
required to be filed with the director as required in this section
((shall be)) are public records and must be made available for public
inspection and copying."
Correct the title.
EFFECT: Removes from the bill the exemption from the Public
Records Act for materials related to the payment of aviation fuel
taxes.
Requires the availability for public inspection and copying of
statements or reports related to the calculation of aviation fuel taxes
by the Department of Licensing when a distributor fails to report the
amount of aircraft fuel sold, delivered, or used by the distributor.
