On page 2, line 6 of the striking amendment, after "2019," insert "or if the county has appropriated funding to study, facilitate, or operate a site for supervised drug consumption as defined in this section,"
On page 2, after line 18 of the striking amendment, insert the following:
"(c) 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."
| EFFECT: Applies restrictions on distributions from the Puget Sound Taxpayer Accountability Account (PSTAA) to counties that have appropriated funding to study, facilitate, or operate a site for supervised drug consumption. Prohibits these counties from receiving PSTAA distributions directly and instead directs the Legislature to appropriate those counties' share of PSTAA revenues to the state Department of Commerce for expenditure in those counties in the same manner as counties that have not adopted the local mental health tax. Defines "site for supervised drug consumption" to include Schedule I drugs but exclude marijuana as permitted by state law.
