"(c) The treasurer may not make distributions under this section to a county that has appropriated funding to study, facilitate, or operate a site for supervised drug consumption. For purposes of this section, a "site for supervised drug consumption" means any site or program including, but not limited to, safe consumption sites, safe injection sites, or needle exchange programs, with a function of providing an area for either use or consumption, or both, of federal schedule I controlled substances under RCW 69.50.204, except for those substances which may be possessed in accordance with RCW 69.50.4013. If a county has appropriated funding for any of these purposes, then the treasurer shall distribute that county's share of moneys to deposited to the account to the other counties that are eligible for distributions from the account ratably based on population."
| EFFECT: Prohibits distributing moneys from the Puget Sound Taxpayer Accountability Account (PSTAA) to a county that has appropriated funding to study, facilitate, or operate a site for supervised drug consumption. Defines "site for supervised drug consumption" to include Schedule I drugs but exclude marijuana as permitted by state law. Directs distribution of an ineligible county's share to the other counties that receive PSTAA distributions.
