    "NEW SECTION.  Sec. 1.  A new section is added to chapter 41.50 RCW to read as follows:

    (1) The governing body of an employer under chapter 41.32 or 41.40 RCW shall comply with the provisions of subsection (2) of this section prior to executing a contract or collective bargaining agreement with members under chapter 41.32 or 41.40 RCW which provides for:

    (a) A cash out of unused annual leave in excess of two hundred forty hours of such leave.  "Cash out" for purposes of this subsection means any payment in lieu of an accrual of annual leave or any payment added to regular salary, concurrent with a reduction of annual leave;

    (b) A cash out of any other form of leave;

    (c) A payment for, or in lieu of, any personal expense or transportation allowance;

    (d) The portion of any payment that exceeds twice the regular rate of pay; or

    (e) Any other termination or severance payment.

    (2) Any governing body entering into a contract or collective bargaining agreement that includes a compensation provision listed in subsection (1) of this section shall do so only after public notice in compliance with the open public meetings act, chapter 42.30 RCW.  This notification requirement may be accomplished as part of the approval process for adopting a contract or collective bargaining agreement in whole, and does not require separate or additional open public meetings.  At the meetings, full disclosure shall be made of the nature of the proposed compensation provision, and the employer's estimate of the excess compensation billings under RCW 41.50.150 that the employing entity would have to pay as a result of the proposed compensation provision.  The employer shall notify the department of its compliance with this section at the time the department bills the employer under RCW 41.40.150 for the pension impact of compensation provisions listed in subsection (1) of this section that are adopted after the effective date of this act."

    EFFECT:  Only requires one public notice and meeting prior to adoption of one of the listed forms of compensation; eliminates LEOFF employers and members from the reporting requirement.
