    EFFECT:  The amendment makes the following changes to the striking amendment:

(1) Requires state agencies to provide life safety information during emergencies proclaimed by the Governor (rather than during emergencies or disasters generally) and limits the requirement to circumstances in which the state agency is required by law or rule to provide life safety information. Codifies the requirement in chapter 1.20 RCW (general provisions) rather than chapter 38.52 RCW (emergency management).

(2) Removes the requirement that, during proclaimed emergencies, political subdivisions must provide life safety information in a language or manner that can be understood by significant population segments.

(3) Provides that state agencies are obligated to provide life safety information during emergencies "to the extent technologically feasible" (rather than "unless technologically infeasible"), and removes the requirement to report to the Legislature when life safety information is not provided due to technological infeasibility.

(4) Removes the definitions of "communication plan" and "life safety information."

(5) Amends the definition of "significant population segment" to refer to five percent or one thousand "people" (rather than "residents") of the affected population.

(6) Requires the Military Department to report to the Legislature regarding "communication plan development and implementation progress," rather than submit a report containing the communication plans.

(7) Makes other minor wording changes.
