Clarifying the terms of the members of the advisory board of plumbers.

     AN ACT Relating to the board of plumbers; amending RCW 18.106.110; and declaring an emergency.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:

     Sec. 1.  RCW 18.106.110 and 1975-'76 2nd ex.s. c 34 s 56 are each amended to read as follows:

     (1) There is created a state advisory board of plumbers, to be composed of three members appointed by the governor.  One member shall be a journeyman plumber, one member shall be a person conducting a plumbing business, and one member from the general public who is familiar with the business and trade of plumbing.

     (2) ((The initial terms of the members of the advisory board shall be one, two, and three years respectively as set forth in subsection (1) of this section.)) The term of the journeyman plumber shall expire July 1, 1995; the term of the person conducting a plumbing business shall expire July 1, 1996; and the term of the public member shall expire July 1, 1997.  Thereafter, upon the expiration of said terms, the governor shall appoint a new member to serve for a period of three years.  However, to ensure that the board can continue to act, a member whose term expires shall continue to serve until his or her replacement is appointed.  In the case of any vacancy on the board for any reason, the governor shall appoint a new member to serve out the term of the person whose position has become vacant.

     (3) The advisory board shall carry out all the functions and duties enumerated in this chapter, as well as generally advise the department on all matters relative to this chapter.

     (4) Each member of the advisory board shall receive travel expenses in accordance with the provisions of RCW 43.03.050 and 43.03.060 as now existing or hereafter amended for each day in which such member is actually engaged in attendance upon the meetings of the advisory board.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 2.  This act is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety, or support of the state government and its existing public institutions, and shall take effect immediately.
