BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:
NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. A new section is added to chapter 46.61 RCW to read as follows:
In addition to penalties that may be imposed under RCW 46.61.515, the court may require a person who is convicted of a violation of RCW 46.61.502 or 46.61.504 or who enters a deferred prosecution program under RCW 10.05.020 based on a violation of RCW 46.61.502 or 46.61.504, to attend a DUII victims' panel. If the court requires attendance under this section, the court may require the defendant to pay an additional assessment to help defray the expenses of the DUII victims' panel. The assessment shall not exceed forty dollars. The court shall order that this amount be paid to the entity that is operating the DUII victims' panel under a contract with the court. Any revenues collected in excess of the amount needed for operating the DUII victims' panel shall be used by the entity operating the panel to develop, implement, or support local programs aimed at reducing impaired driving.
