                                               NOT ADOPTED 5/25/95

    On page 73, after line 16, insert the following:

    "NEW SECTION. Sec. 622.  It is the intent of the legislature to compensate Okanogan County in the amount of $363,000.00 for damages caused by the intentional or grossly negligent delays in the completion of the state's duties regarding issuance of permits for mining operations in northern Okanogan County.  This region of our state has a history of resource based economic growth, but by reason of continual deference to groups with narrow self-interests the state has cost the county substantial lost tax revenues.  These damages are continuing and adverse to the services required by the citizens of Okanogan County and compensation is due and owing in the amount here specified."

Renumber the remaining sections accordingly.
