AN ACT Relating to surcharges for recording documents; and amending RCW 36.22.170.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:
Sec. 1. RCW 36.22.170 and 1989 c 204 s 3 are each amended to read as follows:
A surcharge of two dollars per instrument shall
be charged by the county auditor for each document recorded, which will be in
addition to any other charge authorized by law. Fifty percent of the revenue
generated through this surcharge shall be transmitted monthly to the state
treasurer who shall distribute such funds to each county treasurer within the
state in July of each year in accordance with the formula described in RCW 36.22.190.
The county treasurer shall place the funds received in a special account titled
the auditor's centennial document preservation and modernization account to be
used solely for ((the purpose authorized by this chapter)) ongoing
preservation of historical documents of all county offices and departments
and shall not be added to the county current expense fund. Fifty percent of
the revenue generated by this surcharge shall be retained by the county and
deposited in the auditor's operation and maintenance fund for ongoing
preservation of historical documents of all county offices and departments.
((The portion of the surcharge transmitted to the state treasurer shall
expire January 1, 1995, at which time the surcharge authorized in this section
shall be reduced to one dollar per instrument.))
The centennial document preservation and modernization account is hereby created in the custody of the state treasurer and shall be classified as a treasury trust account. State distributions from the centennial document preservation and modernization account shall be made without appropriation.
