"NEW SECTION. Sec. 6. A new section is added to chapter 72.09 RCW to read as follows:

For each dollar the state spends on postsecondary educational programming at state correctional institutions, the state must contribute the same amount to the department of commerce's office of crime victim advocacy to establish a postsecondary scholarship program for immediate family members of victims of aggravated first degree murder under RCW 10.95.020, murder in the first degree under RCW 9A.32.030, and murder in the second degree under RCW 9A.32.050."

Renumber the remaining sections consecutively and correct any internal references accordingly.

Correct the title.
