    On page 524, line 8, increase the general fund-state appropriation for fiscal year 2017 by $221,000

    On page 524, line 11, correct the total.

    On page 524, line 30, strike "$10,833,000" and insert "$11,054,000"

    On page 524, line 34, after "lapse." strike all material through "in calculating the backfill." on page 525, line 3, and insert "((For the 2016-17 academic year, if the university's full-time equivalent annual average resident undergraduate enrollment increases by more than one percent from the 2015-16 academic year, for purposes of calculating state funding for the tuition reduction backfill, only a one percent growth rate or the university's preceding five-year average percentage full-time equivalent enrollment change, whichever is greater, may be used in calculating the backfill.))"

    On page 528, line 13, increase the general fund-state appropriation for fiscal year 2017 by $58,000

    On page 528, line 17, correct the total.

    On page 529, line 5, strike "$14,952,000" and insert "$15,010,000"

    On page 529, line 9, after "lapse." strike all material through "in calculating the backfill" on line 16 and insert "((For the 2016-17 academic year, if the university's full-time equivalent annual average resident undergraduate enrollment increases by more than one percent from the 2015-16 academic year, for purposes of calculating state funding for the tuition reduction backfill, only a one percent growth rate or the university's preceding five-year average percentage full-time equivalent enrollment change, whichever is greater, may be used in calculating the backfill.))"

EFFECT:   Revises the calculation of the tuition reduction backfill for Central Washington University (CWU) and Western Washington University (WWU). Amends the 2017 Supplemental Operating Budget to remove the cap on the tuition reduction backfill that limited the 2016-17 backfill to the greater of the university's preceding five-year average percentage enrollment change or a one percent growth rate if the university's full-time equivalent annual average resident undergraduate enrollment increased by more than one percent from the 2015-16 academic year.  Increases funding levels for Central Washington University and Western Washington University based on the increase in full-time equivalent annual average resident undergraduate enrollment from the 2015-16 academic year.

FISCAL IMPACT:

           Increases General Fund - State by $279,000.
