On page 1, line 10, after "RCW" insert "or through a city-developed portal"
On page 1, line 16, after "RCW" insert "or through a city-developed portal"
On page 2, after line 13, strike all of subsection (4) and insert
the following:
"(4) The definitions in this subsection apply throughout this
section unless the context clearly requires otherwise.
(a) "Business and occupation tax" has the same meaning as in RCW
35.102.030.
(b) "City-developed portal" means a single portal with at least
five participating cities that allows for the issuance or renewal of
general business licenses for all participating cities."
EFFECT: Gives cities the option to issue licenses through a city- developed portal, instead of issuing licenses through the state's BLS system. The deadlines remain the same no matter which portal they choose. A city-developed portal is a portal in which a minimum of 5 cities participate.
