Sec. 3.  RCW 70.125.090 and 2015 c 247 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) When a law enforcement agency receives a sexual assault examination kit, the law enforcement agency must, within thirty days of its receipt, submit a request for laboratory examination to the Washington state patrol crime laboratory for prioritization for testing by it or another accredited laboratory that holds an outsourcing agreement with the Washington state patrol if:
(a) Consent has been given by the victim; or
(b) The victim is a person under the age of eighteen who is not emancipated pursuant to chapter 13.64 RCW.
(2) Subject to available funding, the Washington state patrol crime laboratory must give priority to the laboratory examination of sexual assault examination kits at the request of a local law enforcement agency for:
(a) Active investigations and cases with impending court dates;
(b) Active investigations where public safety is an immediate concern;
(c) Violent crimes investigations, including active sexual assault investigations;
(d) Postconviction cases; and
(e) Other crimes' investigations and nonactive investigations, such as previously unsubmitted older sexual assault kits or recently collected sexual assault kits that the submitting agency has determined to be lower priority based on their initial investigation.
(3) The failure of a law enforcement agency to submit a request for laboratory examination within the time prescribed under this section does not constitute grounds in any criminal proceeding for challenging the validity of a DNA evidence association, and any evidence obtained from the sexual assault examination kit may not be excluded by a court on those grounds.
(4) A person accused or convicted of committing a crime against a victim has no standing to object to any failure to comply with the requirements of this section, and the failure to comply with the requirements of this section is not grounds for setting aside the conviction or sentence.
(5) Nothing in this section may be construed to create a private right of action or claim on the part of any individual, entity, or agency against any law enforcement agency or any contractor of any law enforcement agency.
(6) This section applies prospectively only and not retroactively. It only applies to sexual assault examinations performed on or after July 24, 2015.
(7)(a) Until June 30, ((2018)) 2022, the Washington state patrol shall compile the following information related to the sexual assault examination kits identified in this section and section 4 of this act:

(c) Beginning in 2015, the Washington state patrol shall report its findings and recommendations annually to the appropriate committees of the legislature and the governor by December 1st of each year.
NEW SECTION.  Sec. 4.  A new section is added to chapter 70.125 RCW to read as follows:
(1) Law enforcement agencies shall submit requests for forensic analysis of all sexual assault kits collected prior to July 24, 2015, and in the possession of the agencies to the Washington state patrol crime laboratory by January 1, 2019, except submission for forensic analysis is not required when: (a) Forensic analysis has previously been conducted; (b) there is documentation of an adult victim or emancipated minor victim expressing that he or she does not want his or her sexual assault kit submitted for forensic analysis; or (c) a sexual assault kit is noninvestigatory and held by a law enforcement agency pursuant to an agreement with a hospital or other medical provider. The requirements of this subsection apply regardless of the statute of limitations or the status of any related investigation.
(2) The Washington state patrol crime laboratory may consult with local law enforcement agencies to coordinate the efficient submission of requests for forensic analysis under this section in conjunction with the implementation of the statewide tracking system under RCW 43.43.545, provided that all requests are submitted by January 1, 2019. The Washington state patrol crime laboratory shall facilitate the forensic analysis of all sexual assault kits submitted under this section by December 1, 2021. The analysis may be conducted by the Washington state patrol laboratory or an accredited laboratory holding a contract or agreement with the Washington state patrol. The Washington state patrol shall process the forensic analysis of sexual assault kits in accordance with the priorities in RCW 70.125.090(2).
(3) The failure of a law enforcement agency to submit a request for laboratory examination within the time prescribed under this section does not constitute grounds in any criminal proceeding for challenging the validity of a DNA evidence association, and any evidence obtained from the sexual assault kit may not be excluded by a court on those grounds.
(4) A person accused or convicted of committing a crime against a victim has no standing to object to any failure to comply with the requirements of this section, and the failure to comply with the requirements of this section is not grounds for setting aside the conviction or sentence.
(5) Nothing in this section may be construed to create a private right of action or claim on the part of any individual, entity, or agency against any law enforcement agency or any contractor of any law enforcement agency.
NEW SECTION.  Sec. 5.  A new section is added to chapter 70.125 RCW to read as follows:
(1) In addition to all other rights provided in law, a sexual assault survivor has the right to:
(a) Receive a medical forensic examination at no cost;
(b) Consult with a sexual assault survivor's advocate during any medical evidentiary examination and during any interview by law enforcement officers, prosecuting attorneys, or defense attorneys, unless an advocate cannot be summoned in a timely manner, and regardless of whether a survivor has waived the right in a previous examination or interview;
(c) Be informed, upon the request of a survivor, of when the forensic analysis of his or her sexual assault kit and other related physical evidence will be or was completed, the results of the forensic analysis, and whether the analysis yielded a DNA profile and match, provided that the disclosure is made at an appropriate time so as to not impede or compromise an ongoing investigation;
(d) Receive notice prior to the destruction or disposal of his or her sexual assault kit;
(e) Receive a copy of the police report related to the investigation without charge; and
(f) Review his or her statement before law enforcement refers a case to the prosecuting attorney.
(2) A sexual assault survivor retains all the rights of this section regardless of whether the survivor agrees to participate in the criminal justice system and regardless of whether the survivor agrees to receive a forensic examination to collect evidence.
(3) Nothing contained in this section may be construed to provide grounds for error in favor of a criminal defendant in a criminal proceeding, nor may anything in this section be construed to grant a new cause of action or remedy against the state, its political subdivisions, law enforcement agencies, or prosecuting attorneys. The failure of a person to make a reasonable effort to protect or adhere to the rights enumerated in this section may not result in civil liability against that person. This section does not limit other civil remedies or defenses of the sexual assault survivor or the offender.
(4) For the purposes of this section:
(a) "Law enforcement officer" means a general authority Washington peace officer, as defined in RCW 10.93.020, or any person employed by a private police agency at a public school as described in RCW 28A.150.010 or an institution of higher education, as defined in RCW 28B.10.016.
(b) "Sexual assault survivor" means any person who is a victim, as defined in RCW 7.69.020, of sexual assault. However, if a victim is incapacitated, deceased, or a minor, sexual assault survivor also includes any lawful representative of the victim, including a parent, guardian, spouse, or other designated representative, unless the person is an alleged perpetrator or suspect.
(c) "Sexual assault survivor's advocate" means any person who is defined in RCW 5.60.060 as a sexual assault advocate, or a crime victim advocate.
NEW SECTION.  Sec. 6.  The office of the attorney general is authorized and encouraged to facilitate the hosting of the sexual assault kit initiative summit in conjunction with any conditions of federal funds granted to the state through the sexual assault kit initiative. The attorney general may use its contracting authority and use, when appropriate, public and private moneys for the purpose of hosting the summit.
NEW SECTION.  Sec. 7.  The legislature finds the state has a substantial interest in protecting and preserving the quality of life for its communities against the adverse secondary effects of live adult entertainment. The legislature recognizes local governments have an important role in regulating businesses engaged in live adult entertainment, including reasonable location and licensing restrictions, for the purpose of minimizing adverse secondary effects. However, the adoption of a statewide fee can provide further assistance to the victims of crimes directly and indirectly resulting from these businesses.
The legislature finds that in Washington state, sexually oriented businesses featuring live adult entertainment earn more than twenty-five million dollars per year in revenue. Of the millions of female victims of human trafficking, seventy percent are trafficked into the commercial sex industry, including being recruited to work as hostesses, waitresses, or exotic dancers in sexually oriented businesses featuring adult entertainment. Exotic dancers are more likely to be victims of sexual violence, including sexual assault and rape. In addition to the extensive research literature finding a connection between the industry and sexual violence, the legislature has received reports of exotic dancers paying the security staff of these businesses to escort them to and from their vehicles. This is just one of many practices highlighting the serious risks for women working in this industry.
The legislature hereby establishes the sexually oriented live entertainment patron fee to fund policies and programming for investigating sex crimes and supporting trafficking and sex crime victims in Washington. The sexually oriented live entertainment patron fee does not regulate or prohibit any kind of speech. The legislature's interest in preventing harmful secondary effects is not related to the suppression of expression in nude dancing. Citizens are still free to engage in such forms of expression to the extent it complies with other legally established time, place, and manner restrictions. Instead, the sexually oriented live entertainment patron fee offsets the impacts of crime and the other deleterious effects caused by the presence of sexually oriented live adult entertainment establishments in Washington.
NEW SECTION.  Sec. 8.  (1) There is levied and collected a fee upon the admission to a sexually oriented live adult entertainment establishment, in an amount equal to four dollars. The fee imposed under this section must be paid by the patron to the operator of the establishment. Each operator must collect from the patron the full amount of the fee in respect to each admission and without respect to any cover charges that the operator may charge. The fee collected from the patron by the operator must be paid to the department of revenue in accordance with RCW 82.32.045.
(2) All other applicable provisions of chapter 82.32 RCW have full force and application with respect to the fee imposed under this section. The department of revenue must administer this section.
(3) Receipts from the fee imposed in this section must be deposited into the sexually oriented live entertainment patron fee account established in section 10 of this act.
(4) For the purposes of this section:
(a) "Adult entertainment" means:
(i) Any live exhibition, performance, or dance of any type conducted by an individual who is unclothed or in such costume, attire, or clothing as to expose any portion of the female breast below the top of the areola or any portion of the pubic region, anus, buttocks, vulva, or genitals;
(ii) Any performance of the following acts or of acts which simulate, or use artificial devices or inanimate objects which depict:
(A) Sexual intercourse, masturbation, sodomy, bestiality, oral copulation, flagellation, or any sexual acts that are prohibited by law;
(B) The touching, caressing, or fondling of the breast, buttocks, anus, or genitals; or
(C) The displaying of the pubic hair, anus, vulva, or genitals.
(b) "Cover charge" means a charge, regardless of its label, to enter a sexually oriented live adult entertainment establishment or added to the patron's bill by an operator of an establishment or otherwise collected after entrance to the establishment, and the patron is provided the opportunity to enter and view adult entertainment in exchange for payment of the charge.
(c) "Operator" means any person who operates, conducts, or maintains a sexually oriented adult entertainment establishment.
(d) "Patron" means any individual who is admitted to a sexually oriented live adult entertainment establishment.
(e) "Person" means any individual, partnership, corporation, trust, incorporated or unincorporated association, marital community, joint venture, governmental entity, or other entity or group of persons, however organized.
(f) "Sexually oriented live adult entertainment establishment" means an adult cabaret, erotic dance venue, strip club, or any other commercial premises where live adult entertainment is provided during at least thirty days within a calendar year or a proportional number of days if the establishment was not open for a full calendar year.
NEW SECTION.  Sec. 9.  (1) The fees required to be collected by the operator under section 8 of this act, are deemed to be held in trust by the operator until paid to the department of revenue, and any operator who appropriates or converts the fees collected to his or her own use or to any use other than the payment of the fees to the extent that the money required to be collected is not available for payment on the due date as prescribed in this chapter is guilty of a gross misdemeanor.
(2) If any operator fails to collect the fees imposed under section 8 of this act or having collected the fees, fails to pay the collected fees to the department of revenue in the manner prescribed in section 8 of this act, whether such failure is the result of his or her own acts or the result of acts or conditions beyond the operator's control, the operator is nevertheless, personally liable to the state for the amount of the fees.
(3) The amount of the fees, until paid by the patron to the operator or to the department of revenue, constitutes a debt from the patron to the operator. Any operator who fails or refuses to collect the fees as required with intent to violate the provisions of this chapter or to gain some advantage or benefit, either direct or indirect, and any patron who refuses to pay any fees due under this chapter is guilty of a misdemeanor.
NEW SECTION.  Sec. 10.  (1) The sexually oriented live entertainment patron fee account is created in the state treasury. All revenues from the sexually oriented live adult entertainment establishment admission fee established in section 8 of this act must be deposited into the account. Moneys in the account may only be spent after appropriation.
(2) The legislature must prioritize appropriations from the account for: The Washington sexual assault kit initiative project under RCW 36.28A.430; the Washington state patrol for the purpose of funding the statewide sexual assault kit tracking system and the forensic analysis of sexual assault kits; and for the establishment of training for operators and employees of sexually oriented live adult entertainment establishments to improve awareness, reduce the occurrence, and increase reporting of sexual assault and sex trafficking directly or indirectly associated with those establishments.
Sec. 11.  RCW 82.32.145 and 2015 c 188 s 121 are each amended to read as follows:

For purposes of this subsection, "insolvent" means the condition that results when the sum of the entity's debts exceeds the fair market value of its assets. The department may presume that an entity is insolvent if the entity refuses to disclose to the department the nature of its assets and liabilities.
(2) Personal liability under this section may be imposed for state and local trust fund taxes.

(4)(a) Except as provided in this subsection (4)(a), a responsible individual who is the current or a former chief executive or chief financial officer is liable under this section only for trust fund tax liability accrued during the period that he or she was the chief executive or chief financial officer. However, if the responsible individual had the responsibility or duty to remit payment of the limited liability business entity's trust fund taxes to the department during any period of time that the person was not the chief executive or chief financial officer, that individual is also liable for trust fund tax liability that became due during the period that he or she had the duty to remit payment of the limited liability business entity's taxes to the department but was not the chief executive or chief financial officer.
(b) All other responsible individuals are liable under this section only for trust fund tax liability that became due during the period he or she had the responsibility or duty to remit payment of the limited liability business entity's taxes to the department.
(5) Persons described in subsection (3)(b) of this section are exempt from liability under this section in situations where nonpayment of the limited liability business entity's trust fund taxes is due to reasons beyond their control as determined by the department by rule.
(6) Any person having been issued a notice of assessment under this section is entitled to the appeal procedures under RCW 82.32.160, 82.32.170, 82.32.180, 82.32.190, and 82.32.200.
(7) This section does not relieve the limited liability business entity of its trust fund tax liability or otherwise impair other tax collection remedies afforded by law.
(8) Collection authority and procedures prescribed in this chapter apply to collections under this section.
(9) The definitions in this subsection apply throughout this section unless the context clearly requires otherwise.
(a) "Chief executive" means: The president of a corporation; or for other entities or organizations other than corporations or if the corporation does not have a president as one of its officers, the highest ranking executive manager or administrator in charge of the management of the company or organization.

(d) "Manager" has the same meaning as in RCW 25.15.006.
